Hello, Just to throw my tuppence-worth in, Many people don't subscribe to
all blogs from all products they have and sometimes it's just useful to have
a posting of interest from someone. Perhaps as long as the subject clearly
states it's from the sibelius blog then people would have the chance to skip
over it. I actually found the posting of interest.
Kind Regards,
Alison Trelfa.

>> Four types of selection in Sibelius
>>
>> Posted: 03 Mar 2011 04:14 AM PST
>>
>>
>>
>> Three of the four types of selection: multiple, passage, and system
>> passage
>>
>> A couple of days ago, I wrote that one of the axioms of efficient
>> use
>> of Sibelius is: “Copy, don’t reinput.” With that in mind, I thought it
>> was
>> worth reinforcing one of the corollaries of that axiom, concerning the
>> four types of selection in Sibelius.
>>
>> Those four types are as follows: single selection, where only one
>> object (e.g. a note, or a bit of text) is selected; multiple selection,
>> where more than one object is selected, and they appear highlighted in
>> the
>> score in their voice or selection colour; passage selection, where a
>> continuous range of music and other objects attached to one or more
>> staves
>> is selected, and surrounded by a light blue box; and system passage
>> selection, where a continuous range of music and other objects across all
>> staves in the system is selected, and surrounded by a double purple box.
>>
>> To make the best use of the different types of selection, remember
>> the following simple rule:
>>
>> Multiple selections merge, passage selections overwrite, and
>> system
>> passage selections insert.
>>
>> Expanding on this a little:
>>
>> a.. When you paste a multiple selection, it will be merged with
>> whatever is already there, overwriting notes in the same voice but
>> otherwise doing its best to fit in to the existing material at its
>> destination. This means multiple selections are very good, for example,
>> for pasting objects like dynamics onto existing music, or to paste music
>> in one voice into an existing passage using another.
>> b.. When you paste a passage selection, the destination music is
>> completely overwritten. This is the normal kind of copy and paste
>> operation you will do. Just remember that a regular passage selection,
>> even one that spans all staves, won’t include system-attached objects
>> like
>> time signatures, key signatures, rehearsal marks, Tempo text, and the
>> like.
>> c.. When you paste a system passage selection, new bars are
>> inserted at the point you pasted. This kind of copy and paste operation
>> is
>> most useful for inserting whole chunks of music, and naturally a system
>> passage selection will include system objects like time signatures, key
>> signatures and so on that are not included when copying a regular passage
>> selection.
>> If you remember this simple rule and apply it well, you will cut
>> hours off your score preparation time, by making efficient use of the
>> copy
>> and paste methods that Sibelius provides.
