Deleting an Instrument from a Score

(Sibelius | Ultimate Software Only)

Now that you have added string parts, you no longer need the Synthesizer parts in the score.

To remove an instrument from your score, do one of the following:

 Triple-click the instrument staff to select it throughout the score and press Delete (this is a handy way to quickly remove a single-staff
instrument).
 Do the following:
• Choose Home > Instruments > Add or Remove and then select all the instruments you want to remove from the score in the
Staves in score list—in this case select Synthesizer (a) and Synthesizer (b).
• Click Delete from Score.
• When Sibelius asks you if you really want to delete them, click Yes.
• Click OK to return to the score.

This last method is much more useful for deleting several instruments at a time.

Exporting an Audio File

Using VST/AU virtual instruments (such as Sibelius Sounds), Sibelius lets you export your score as an audio file. You can burn audio
files directly to CD or convert them into other formats, such as MP3. Give recordings to conductors or performers to give an idea of how
the music sounds or as practicing aid.

To export an audio file from your score:

1 Choose File > Export > Audio.
2 On the Export Audio pane, ensure that Export from start is selected under the Playback Line options.
3 Click the Export button.
4 Type a name for your audio file and click Save.
5 Sibelius writes your score as an audio file and saves it in the same folder as the score.
