Hello everyone, can anyone point me to some web pages or video tutorials that explain how to use "Sibelius"?

If you can, please send me some online guides and/or anything else, thank you very much for any links regarding this

From how you have posed the question, I think you are just starting out, since you are approaching a notation system and still have to learn it; perhaps it would be better for you to change direction in the sense that Sibelius is quite advanced.

Here is a discussion and there is another one linked

http://www.pianoconcerto.it/forum/index.php?/topic/5930-finale-o-sibelius

That being said, surely a look at the help certainly won't hurt. In reality, Sibelius is quite intuitive regarding basic functions, so setting up a project and writing the first notes shouldn't be a big problem. Perhaps you could point out your main questions to us so that we can help you start a first project and then, as difficulties arise, give you some tips.

I think I've seen some tutorials; I'll point something out to you later.

Thank you very much, I am asking for information on Sibelius compared to Finale because I have had experience with this specific program in the past and, knowing it on a basic level, I would like to start using it again after having read and seen relevant guides regarding it

Sure, you go to the "general" section. You need to know well what to look for, then you can navigate easily with the index.

Thank you very much for your links

Good morning everyone. Does anyone know how to reduce the size of some staves (not all) with Sibelius 8? It is a composition for piano. Thank you, have a good day

Thanks Trade1!

apparently this possibility to customize the staff size is only available from version 8.5..

Thanks, warm regards
