FactualOrc Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Hello everybody. I just downloaded the trial version of Sibeluis 7 and am trying to get my head around it. I've got the basics down but there is a problem that I am having difficulty with. I have been searching for a solution to this problem all day to no avail but I did come across this forum in my search so I thought it would be a good idea to sign up and ask my question directly, which I've never done before. I've usually always managed to find the answer by searching, but never-the-less, her I am. So my problem is this: I am an Ocarina player (ye know, the one from Zelda). I am new to this instrument and am still learning to play it properly. In an attempt to better understand sheet music I tried looking for some easy songs to play, but they were often out side of my ocarina's range. So I acquired the trial version of Sibelius 7 and transposed the song. It was within my range now, but, as I do not understand key signatures yet, I was would not of been able to play the song unless the accidentals were put in. Now, I know that in the time it took me to find out a way to add them in automatically, I could of put them in manually 1000 times over, but I wanted to know for future reference. TL;DR Is there a way in Sibelius 7 to automatically add in the accidentals to match the key signature? Thanking you, Matthew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin123 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I guess if you write it with the key signature first, then remove it, the accidentals will all appear, though I'm not entirely sure I understand your problem! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FactualOrc Posted May 1, 2013 Author Share Posted May 1, 2013 The problem is that I am still a bit of a noob when it comes to music. So I can't tell which notes have accidentals just by looking at the key signature while i'm playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrsbit Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 This is a good opportunity to learn to read in key signatures. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
