Claudio ,
I can't give you definitive answers on all of this, just some thoughts.
1. I want a tremolo of thirty-seconds played between two hands and lasting
for four bars; How to write?
It's a myth that the right hand must always be written on the top staff and
the left, on the bottom. It's often simpler, for the composer and the
performer, to write both hands on one staff, If the right hand notes are
fairly close to the left hand ones, you should just write the whole tremolo
on one staff. It will be obvious from the notes that two hands should be
used. The problem will be if the players alternate, so player one plays the
first note; player 2, the second; player 1, the third; player 2, the fourth;
and so on. In this case, you'll have no choice but to write out the whole
thing in full, with rests indicating where the other plays a chord.
2. If a passage is written with so many leger lines and therefore I decide,
that a clef with an eight or even 15 would be better, do I have to transpose
these notes or will Sibelius do it for me.
When you change the clef, all the notes will be rewritten so that they fit
the new clef. EG: putting a treble 15ve clef at the start of the score will
cause all the notes to move 7 lines further down the staff.
3. Does a clef inserted at the beginning of the score replace the one, that
is already there or is the inserted clef just added?
It replaces it.
4. Have I to select the first bar to insert an initial clef?
Select the staff from start to finish. If you don't, the original clef will
be placed at the end of the selection, as though you were only changing the
clef for a short time.
5. When I extract parts, do all these four parts automatically contain the
same amount of measures per page and have system brakes at the same moments?
If no, is there a way to obtain this, so the the four players can just put
their pages side by side?
A. Go to any part and insert the system breaks and page breaks you want.
B. Open the parts window.
C. Select all the parts in the list of parts.
D. Press the copy part layout button.
E. Return to the score and close the parts window.
6. How can I obtain that the word "primo, secondo, terzo, quarto" appear
only in the first system of each part's page?
What are these words indicating, structural points, or to indicate the
player? If it's the player, just change the staff name.

Subject: [sib-access] one piano eight hands
Hi
I'm about starting a score for one piano eight hands and I have several
questions for this project, which I write down here in the hope, that I
haven't to find out all by myself. Help is really apreciated.
Questions:
I want a tremolo of thirty-seconds played between two hands and lasting for
four bars; How to write?
If a passage is written with so many leger lines and therefore I decide,
that a clef with an eight or even 15 would be better, do I have to transpose
these notes or will Sibelius do it for me, when I insert this clef?
Does a clef inserted at the beginning of the score replace the one, that is
already there or is the inserted clef just added?
Have I to select the first bar to insert an initial clef?
When I extract parts, do all these four parts automatically contain the same
amount of measures per page and have system brakes at the same moments? If
no, is there a way to obtain this, so the the four players can just put
their pages side by side?
How can I obtain that the word "primo, secondo, terzo, quarto" appear only
in the first system of each part's page?
With kind regards
Claudio
