How to write a crescendo in sibelius

(In Sibelius 6, go to Plugins>Text>Change Dynamics): The Change Dynamics plugin is very useful for quickly changing the overall dynamic level of a passage of music in your score after the fact, but it also has a little known, yet powerful bonus feature – it allows you to restore your dynamics to the Music Text Font.

• There are many different drum maps in Sibelius and the sounds and noteheads are frequently assigned differently in each map. • Sibelius gives you two options when entering into percussion staves with a MIDI keyboard. You can play the MIDI drum pitch or play the staff notes to which the percussion sound is assigned.

I should mention that if you are in the habit of combining dynamics with regular expression text in the same line, as in “ mp cresc.”, Sibelius is going to offer to highlight these areas for you, since it can’t always tell exactly which text should be changed in these combined instructions:

The keystroke sequence for “ sfz ” would be CNTRL (or) CMND-E, s, f, SHIFT-Z (modifier is held down through the entire entry). That’s it! That’s all there is to it. With a little practice, you’ll find this method of entry to be extremely fast.
