Sib7

Not fond of the Sib7 layout at all - it's ugly and horrid to work with to say the least - Looks as though Avid set it up in hope that they're bought out by Microsoft Windows.

What is significant is that in the new Steinberg scoring software he had made it clear there is to be no ribbon.

That is presumably because of widespread opposition to sibelius 7's ribbon.

Well, somehow I can live with the ribbon.... I am using a Logitech G510 Gamer-keyboard which comes along with 18 x 3 so-called G-keys. Those can be programmed with all sorts of Keyboard-shortcuts and macros. So quite often don't use the ribbon which is minimized...

A very cool feature of Sibelius is to create your own shortcuts so you don't need the ribbon. Just hide it if this is all you complain.... but also this is only my humbly opinion

Hey Wizzards, I got the same keyboard - G510 - it's not just a gaming keyboard

[wizzarts]

This is such an exellent tool.... do you need a LUA-script...? This would enable you to use so-called modifier-keys like [Cntrl] + [G 13] or [Shift] + [G 13]

Example: I have mf, f and ff on G15: only G15 writes " mf ", [Shift] + G15 writes " f " and [Ctrl] + G15 writes " ff "

So I created a M-bank for note-input. M-bank no 2 is for correction and layout and the M-bank 3 for parts and more...
