Dear Dave,
thank you for your help. I've looked for what you said, and the only thing I
found about velocity were 2 radio buttons in a submenu called transform live
playback which is in the playback menu. But it didn't solve my problem. Adding
expression hairpins seems to be easier but I didn't understand all of it yet.
Cheers,
JPR

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?

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.

Subject: [sib-access] piano forte and manuals
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
