Sibelius - Layout and Formatting

Is anyone here good with making scores look good in Sibelius? This is the part I hate about composing, and I'm really bad when it comes to manipulating stuff like this. If you have AIM, we can discuss there, or you can post here. Either way I would appreciate the help.

Just listen to "Harmpit" and tell me that it doesn't make your bowels shake at least a little. I dare you.

Mostly about my control over the systems and how many i can fit per page and making everything look even. I hate when I make a distance a little larger and then Sibelius shifts EVERYTHING, and then I have one stave on a page when there should be 4 like all the others.

House Style - Engraving Rules. There you can change just about everything. Slur and tie shoulders and thickness, staff spacing rules and whatnot. Search around there to get a better feel for changing big things like format and layout.

If there are any more specific questions, I'd be glad to try and help you with them!

Also loook at Document setup,
you can adjust the size of the staves after you adjust for dynamic and what not so everything is even.
