In Sibelius the measures are automatically recalculated, but I never met problems with time changes in Lime.

Is there a way to prevent that from happening in Sibelius? Or does it not happen that way in Sibelius? -----Original Message----- From: sib-access-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:sib-access-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Dave Carlson Sent: Monday, April 06, 2009 11:52 AM To: sib-access@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [sib-access] Re: Questions About Notation Yes, You can insert time signatures at any point in the score. The tempo can be changed to any new tempo at any bar. To accelerate or decelerate you can use appropriate lines for that. I'll let someone else handle the instrument question.

I'm currently notating the Beatles tune, "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds", and I have a few questions. 1. The song has two distinct meters, one that I believe is either 3/4 or 6/8 time for the verses and the bridges, and one that is 4/4 time for the choruses. Can Sibelius switch between those two without getting confused? 2. The song has a few tempo changes. It starts off at 120BPM for the verses, then slowly speeds up to 125BPM for the bridges. Then when the meter changes to 4/4, it immediately slows down to 90BPM for the choruses. 3. The song has a few instruments, which I'd like to find out how to compile accurate notations for. There's a Lowrey organ that plays the countermelody, a tamboura that plays a drone, a guitar, a guitar with a Leslie, a plucked electric bass, a Hammond B3 Organ on the choruses, and drums. How do I notate the drum lines? Would I notate them on one note? Please help! No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG.
