Oh yes, it helps. Thanks a lot; it's working perfectly. Your advice saved me from a very tedious notation.

This doesn't come as a surprise to me. I'll be working on a laptop layout for the next release, which should hopefully fix this for you perminantly. In the mean time, your best bet is to create a new keystroke in the preferences dialog. I'd suggest using SHIFT+ENTER since this is not used by Sibelius or JAWS. Do the following: Press CONTROL+COMMA to open the preferences dialog. Pres SHIFT+TAB once. You should be in a list box called "showing page" Select the item "Menus and Shortcuts". Press TAB once. You should be in a combo box and the selected item should be "Access (user copy). If it isn't, select that item. Press TAB again. You should be in a list box called "menu or category". Select the item "Keypad (all)" Press TAB again. You should be in a list box called "Feature". Select the item "Enter on keypad". TAB to the "Add" button and press space. Another dialog opens called "add keystroke". Press SHIFT+ENTER on the main keyboard. Tab to the OK button and press SPACE. The add keystroke dialog closes and you'll be returned to the preferences dialog. Tab to the OK button and press it. Hope this helps, Dan -----Original Message----- From: sib-access-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:sib-access-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Vytautas Jr Sent: 09 September 2008 15:56 To: sib-access@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [sib-access] Re: issuing ties Numlock is on, I'm in the common notes' template, and everything works but the ties. With the numpad I had before (now lost) the ties worked, hwith the one now they don't. That's why I am seeking an alternative way to issue ties. Does such thing exist?

If the common notes template is active, you should get a tie on or off. I was just wondering if in Sibelius access there is an alternative way to write ties than the num-enter? With my new adesso numpad, when I press num-enter, Sibelius, not just with Access but with speaking as well, reacts as if I pressed the regular keyboard enter and starts toggling enharmonics. Maybe there is some way to configure keys somewhere? Now, I write the long note that should be divided into tied notes in an early part of a later bar, then paste it into the right spot, but that takes more time than just hitting a key. Any help shall be greatly appreciated.
