JP,

In addition to Kevin's tip (he's got a good memory for these things) your 
question as to velocity of the MIDI notes is correct.

Sibelius (in the play menu) has a selection to allow the original MIDI 
velocities to come through or to set them to a nominal fixed level. It's 
usually checked by default when opening a new MIDI file. Drat. I wish I 
remembered what it's called, but you'll find it if you open the play menu 
and arrow down a few items.

You may guess that I'm not sitting at my DAW right now.

Dave

Thank you Dave,
so you mean there is no special hotkey for entering expressions.
Alternatively, I thought I saw something about Sibelius respecting the 
velocity of notes input from a MIDI keyboard but I can't remember where it 
is. Did I dream?
Cheers,

  JP,

  Browse through the create menu in Sibelius, and just play around with all
  the different text styles you can enter. There you will find a way to 
enter
  expression text.

  Then look at the lines you can enter. There you will find hairpins and 
other
  lines that affect the playback.

  I won't quote the Sibelius manual because I haven't used it very much.

  Dave

  Hi all,
  I've been looking in vain in the different manuals for ways to enter 
dynamic
  information such as piano and forte. Instead of telling me how to do it,
  could you please tell me where to look ? As a Sibelius novice, I will be
  asking all sorts of silly questions like this one. This leads me to 
another
  question.
  The Sibelius reference manual that comes with the software is a real pain 
to
  navigate through, even after converting it to a text file.  I asked 
Sibelius
  about an electronic copy of the entire Sibelius user guide but they said
  they couldn't provide it. Is anything like this available from Sibelius
  access?
  Cheers,
  JPR
