Dan,

No I do not, and have not ever. I may have confused you when I jumped in to 
help with the hotkey issue. I do have a laptop but I don't have Sibelius 
installed on it, as it's for my job. However I did occasionally cause my 
laptop screen rotation to change when using certain hot key combinations and 
it drove me crazy. When you first pointed out the possibility of a way to 
shut off those offending hot key combinations I marked it "O.T". and asked 
for more information.

Sorry I can't help more specifically to Sibelius.

Dave

Dave,

Do you have any problems moving between staves with the Ctrl+Alt+Up/ Down
keys?

Hello Dan,

I found this checkbox also. In my setup this checkbox only affects:

Action Hot Keys
Enable Notebook <CTRL><ALT>F3
Enable/Disable Panel Fitting <CTRL><ALT>F11 Open Graphics Property
Application <CTRL><ALT>F12

These are the only hotkeys that are linked to the Hot Key checkbox. I
unchecked it whilst I was there, as I don't use any of them.

However the rotation checkbox is on another page called "Display Settings"
page. This page (the one with rotations on it) is a two-column page and so
is tricky to read. It contains both information on resolution and color
depth, as well as the rotation enable and the 0, 90, 180, and 270 degree
choices.

Dave

Ugur,

I think I have this the wrong way round. The box may be called "enable hot
keys" in which case you should try unchecking the box and then using
Sibelius.

I just talked to Sibelius tech support and there is a help centre article
about this. Unfortunately, the solution is written out for sighted users and
there are some screen shots, but if you have a sighted assistant they may be
able to make sense out of this.

I've pasted the link below but it's quite a long one. If it doesn't work, do
the following:

1. In Sibelius, open the help menu and choose "help centre".
2. When the web page opens, find the form field called "my question is" and
type in the code A588.

latform=1&words=a588&topicid=0&com=search&days=0&language=1&highlight=1&type
=natural

Hope this helps,
