Haipeng,

If you own a copy of Sibelius 6 and have it installed, you can use it to 
clean up many of these collisions automatically. You would save your Sib 5 
project, close Sib 5, run Sib 6, and open the Sib 5 project in Sib 6.

Then use the magnetic layout feature in the Sib 6 Layout menu.

Unfortunately scripts for Sib 6 are still in beta phase, so we don't have 
complete access to it yet.

and if you have not upgraded to Sib 6, you will need to purchase Sib 7 and 
then ask Avid for a downgrade to Sib 6.

So, if all you have is Sib 5.2.5, you will need to adjust things yourself by 
giving more room for your lyrics and expressions text by limiting the number 
of staves you place on each page, and perhaps using the engraving rules to 
give more "buffer" around the various elements.

Or get sighted help when you are near completion.

Subject: [sib-access] Dealing with collision problem


Hello,
  I'm typsetting my song, but there's a very frustrating problem: The
lyrics collide with the music, and the tempo text collides with the
lyrics of the previous line. I'd like Sibelius to do the reposition
itself, like Lilypond, otherwise everytime I have to ask a sighted
people for assistance. Is there a way to let Sibelius layout the music
correctly automatically? Below is the link to the song file, and if
any of you have sight, you can try to look at the score to see whether
the problem can be solved by Sibelius itself.
 The texts and lyrics are Chinese, but I believe language is not the
cause of this problem.
