Kvothe Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SYS65 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 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: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelAlex Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 This is why Finale rox. Tsk Tsk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tokkemon Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter_W. Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 If Finale can (which it probably can), it's probably worse. I'd imagine the playback would be messed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelAlex Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirk Gently Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
