[sib-access] Re: segno and so on

Guys,

Don't use the repeat text to add segnos and codas. The type setting options
of this text style are completely wrong for these situations.

The repeat text style is really designed for adding text like "D.C. al fine"
and "D.S. al Coda". This text should be place above the system, with the
last letter just to the left of the double bar line that marks the end of
the section.


I can only assume that the segno and coda characters are available in the
repeat text style for completeness, but the Sibelius Reference recommends
other methods for creating these symbols.

Hope this helps,

Dan Rugman

Dave,
        Okay, what happens is, you hit enter on the repeat, then you
immediately hit the right mouse button. The first four symbols, which do not
speak propperly, are a segno, a larger segno, a coda and a larger coda.
These are followed by the text that you can read RE DS and DC.  This is not
the way I remember it in Sib 3/Sibelius Speaking and it's a drag.  I'm going
to see what's involved in Sib 6 with my vision.
K.

Kevin,

The d.c. al coda is in create/text/other System Text/repeat. However I can't

select anything other than the default. then I need to type it by hand. 
Somehow I'm recalling that there is a way to bring up a list using the JAWS
cursor and mouse click, but can't remember the keystrokes. Or is this just a

holdover from the SibSpeaking 3 days?

The other segno and coda are in
create/symbols. first is unknown, second is the segno, third is coda, forth
and fifth are unknown to me, others speak well, as you arrow across the row.

Dave
