Saeed, Here's some stuff I pulled up... These two certs are from the Sib 5 Reference Manual: Page 18 Accessing numeric keypad functions on a notebook (laptop) Most notebook (laptop) computers do not have separate numeric keypads. Keypad functions can be accessed on many notebooks by holding down a key marked Fn together with other keys on the keyboard. This will work, but Sibelius also has some alternative shortcuts built in, which differ on Windows and Mac Section 5.9: Notebook (laptop) features (Windows only) Sibelius comes with a feature set especially designed for Windows laptop users who don't have a keypad on their computer. To use this feature set, choose File > Preferences and select the Menus and Shortcuts page. Select Notebook (laptop) features from the list, then click OK. See Accessing numeric keypad functions on a notebook (laptop) on page 18 for more information. These are some notes from one of our other listers: Windows: use the supplied Notebook (laptop) feature set. Instead of using the numbers on the keypad, you can use the standard numbers on the main keyboard which will correspond to the same numbers on the keypad. When this feature set is in use, use Shift-1 to Shift-9 to enter intervals above a note Laptop Keyboard Layout: Not all laptop keyboards are the same, and the labels which are printed on the keys will vary from one language to the next. This description is for British keyboards only, so you will have to replace the relevant characters for those which appear on your own keyboard. The numbers on the keypad are now the numbers on the number row. This includes the 0, so to enter a rest, you must type a 0 on the number row. There is no equivalent for the plus key on the keypad since this only changes the keypad layout and you can do this with F8-F12. The remaining five keys are all mathematical symbols and these have been transferred to the main keyboard as follows: The Equals key (also Enter) on the keypad is now the forward slash "/" on the main keypad. This is the key immediately to the left of the right shift key. The Decimal point (also the delete) on the keypad is now the period on the main keyboard. This is the key immediately to the left of the forward slash key. The three keys on the top of the keypad (slash, star and minus) are now the semi-colon, apostrophe and hash (number) keys on the main keyboard. These are the three keys immediately to the left of the enter key. To put this more artistically: The top row of the keypad has been "transposed" to the three keys to the left of the enter key and the two keys on the bottom row to the right of the 0 key have been transposed to the left of the right shift key.
