K,
Yes, but what about the others? Don't they deserve to be enlightened? Do you
and I get to keep all the goodies for ourselves? We need to share amongst
our brothers and sisters?.

>> How to run Sibelius 7 without the Quick Start window
>>
>> Posted: 03 Apr 2012 04:15 AM PDT

>>
>>
>> An empty Sibelius document window, yesterday.
>>
>> Warning: this post gets a bit nerdy about software windowing models.
>> If that doesn’t sound like your cup of tea, try this instead. Likewise,
>> if you’re a Mac user, you might find all this a bit parochial.
>>
>> Like all good modern applications, Sibelius 7 uses the Single
>> Document Interface (SDI) model, which means that each Sibelius score you
>> open gets its own window, each with its own button on the Windows
>> taskbar, and so on. Of course, you can also open further windows onto the
>> same document if you wish (of which more later), but in the general run
>> of things you’ll have a single window for each document, with multiple
>> tabs open in that window to house the full score. Folks who have upgraded
>> from previous versions of Sibelius, which used the Multiple Document
>> Interface (MDI) model – where the Sibelius application itself has a
>> parent window to house every score that is opened, and that window stays
>> open until the application quits – have struggled a bit with the
>> transition to SDI.
>>
>> The chief sticking point is the expectation of what happens when you
>> close a window. On Windows, typically an application quits once it no
>> longer has any windows open (obviously there are exceptions, such as
>> applications that put icons down in the system notification area, but
>> those are normally utilities rather than full-blown productivity
>> applications). Under the old MDI model, it was easy to close one score
>> before opening a new one: the parent window would hang around, so you
>> could simply choose File > Open from the menu, and a new score window
>> would open within the parent window. Under an SDI model, however, if you
>> close the last document window, the application quits (on Windows only,
>> of course), so you never get the option to open another score. This is
>> why, by default, we made the Quick Start window reappear after you close
>> the last document window: it prevents Sibelius from quitting, and
>> provides you with an easy way to open another score.
>>
>> But what if you don’t want to see the Quick Start window? It was
>> already possible to disable the Quick Start window when starting
>> Sibelius, with the application opening a default blank score for you, so
>> that you can open a new score from there, or indeed just add instruments
>> to that default document and get cracking. But if you disable the Quick
>> Start window when closing the last score window, Sibelius quits as soon
>> as that window closes.
>>
>> As of the latest Sibelius 7 update, version 7.1.2, Sibelius now
>> behaves the same as other SDI applications that use ribbons, such as
>> Microsoft Word. What this means is that if you close the last tab in the
>> last window (e.g. by clicking its close button, or by typing Ctrl+W or
>> Command-W, or by clicking Close in the File tab), the score disappears
>> from the window, but the window remains, with the ribbon disabled above
>> it. You can click the File tab, which now defaults to the Recent page,
>> making it easy to choose a recent score to open, or you can click Open
>> (or type Ctrl+O or Command-O) or New (Ctrl+N or Command-N) to open an
>> existing score or start a new one. Once you have opened an existing score
>> or started a new one, the empty window ends up with the newly-opened or
>> created score in it, and away you go again.
>>
>> Be warned: closing the last window by clicking the close button at
>> the top right-hand corner of the window will still quit Sibelius
>> altogether (unless you have set the Quick Start to open after the last
>> window closes), but this is correct, and how SDI applications work.
>>
>> So to run Sibelius without the Quick Start, first ensure you’ve
>> updated to Sibelius 7.1.2, then switch off Show Quick Start dialog and
>> Show Quick Start again after closing last score on the Other page of
>> Preferences. Enjoy!
