Notating the end of pizzicato

Featured Replies

Sorry for such a stupid question, but I'm very unexperienced in composing. I made a pizzicato passage in one of my latest pieces, but I don't know how to notate the end of a pizzicato section. I want it to go back to regular bowing, how can I notate this in Sibelius 5?

Thanks in advance!

hey,

You can just write "arco" to indicate a return to bowing. I imagine sibelius has some articulation feature or something that says arco, or you could just type it in.

"pizz." and "arco" should be written above the staff

Thank you :). Yeah, I've been typing it in. I haven't found any of the symbols for any dynamics yet. They're very well hidden haha.

For dynamics : Apple key + E. Then holding the Apple key still, type your dynamic (fff-ppp)

For techniques: Apple key +T. This works for pizz and arco.

If you're not on a mac, I think the apple key is replaced by the ctrl key.
