>> Heather,
>>
>> Here's an excellent write-up from Alison, one of our list members, on
>> using
>> a laptop layout. I'm using this without her permission, and sincerely 
>> hope
>> that she is still willing to talk to me.
>>
>>
>> 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.
>>
>>
>> Inputting notes as intervals on laptops.
>> You can still add intervals above the note but you need to use the
>> keystrokes for adding intervals below instead. I.E.: Shift+5 adds the 
>> note
>> a
>> fifth above the selected note.
>>
>> Unfortunately, there are no keystrokes for adding intervals below the
>> note.
>> The work around is to add the interval above and then use Ctrl+Down to
>> knock
>> the note into the right octave.
>>
>> Also, I added two keystrokes to the laptop layout for inputting
>> appoggiaturas and acciaccaturas. These are Shift+Period and Shift+Slash.
>> These are the same as the desktop keystrokes except that you hold down
>> Shift
>> as well.

>> Any help would be great!

>> Heather,
>>
>> From what you're describing, it sounds like something is up with the
>> keyboard layouts. Both JAWS and Sibelius have there own keyboard layouts
>> and
>> they need to match up. First, confirm the JAWS keyboard layout. If JAWS 
>> is
>> running from the system tray, open the context menu and choose Options >
>> Basics. If it is running in its own window, bring that window to the 
>> front
>> and from the menus choose Options > Basics. The keyboard layout should be
>> laptop or desktop. Change it, if necessary, and Make a note of which it
>> is.
>> (Note that you can use the desktop layout on a laptop, but you'll need a
>> full-sized keyboard with a number pad to make it work.)
>>
>> Now go to Sibelius and choose File > Preferences from the menus. In the
>> preferences dialog choose menus and shortcuts from the list of options on
>> the left. The command set should be set to Access Desktop or Access
>> Laptop.
>> This needs to match the JAWS keyboard layout, so if JAWS is set to
>> desktop,
>> choose Access Desktop, and if JAWS is set to Laptop, choose Access 
>> Laptop.
>> Close the preferences dialog and now try working in the score.
>>
>> Hope this helps,
