January 16, 201115 yr I am working on a composition that uses 3/4, 6/8, and 4/4 in three different parts,and I've Sibelius 4. Please advise
January 17, 201115 yr You mean at the same time ? Sibelius can't handle barlines in different points, Noteworthy Composer can but... See this thread Different Keys and Time Signatures and the pic I attached on page 3. EDIT: You can hide all barlines and set fake ones at any point :dunno:
January 17, 201115 yr You mean at the same time ? Sibelius can't handle barlines in different points, Noteworthy Composer can but... Yes it can. Its just not very elegant.
January 17, 201115 yr If Finale can (which it probably can), it's probably worse. I'd imagine the playback would be messed up.
February 20, 201115 yr It depends on what you're doing. If you're talking 2/4 6/8 then playback is fine. anything different than something along those lines is headache to playback. but the display is beautiful
February 25, 201115 yr The way I'd do it is just have the main time signature be 3/4 or 6/8, then beam the notes in those meters. Then for 4/4 just write it as a 4 over 3 (a..quartuplet?) Anyway, I don't know how you'd do that in Sibelius but in Finale you can show different time signatures, and then there's a tool for converting 4 quarter notes into a quartuplet
