Customize Sibelius Instruments

How to customize instruments using the 'edit instruments' window. This powerful feature allows you to create new instruments, families, and even change the default position of instruments in your score. You can also edit parameters such as pitch range, transposition options, and playback options. Additionally, you can change stave properties, including the number of stave lines, the space between them, and how barlines should be displayed. While it may seem like an interesting but useless feature, as an engraver or composer, customizing instruments can come in handy when working on a project that requires specialized instrumentation or notational possibilities. If you're interested in notating contemporary music or repertoire from the 20th century, these features might quickly become valuable tools. - Originally created in 2019 as part of the course "Take Your Sibelius Skills to the Next Level".
