Okay I'm writing for a one line percussion part (one with different instruments and staff type changes) and I cant figure out how to indicate a staff change to suspended cymbols so I can notate a roll. Thanx

Hiya,

The percussion guide may help (download from here):

Sibelius Hints and Tips

You can define a new notehead just for the cymbal (perhaps a diamond or cross shaped note), and you can make it playback.

Finally, insert some text in the score at the appropriate point: shortcut is Control T or Command T: just write "suspended cymbal".

The symbols menu in Sibelius (shortcut Z) may have a picture of what you want/need to, for extra clarity. Place that in the score also.

Cheers,

Robin
