Join Jenny Amaya for an in-depth discussion in this video Editing text style appearance, part of Sibelius 7 Essential Training.
You can change the appearance of any text in Sibelius any time you wish.…All you have to know is where to go in order to make the right kind of change.…There are two options for changing the appearance of text in Sibelius.…First, if you want to edit a text object locally, meaning just one instance of…one object within the score, then all you have to do is select it to affect it.…So we're going to select a lyric here and we can zoom in on that,…Ctrl++ or Command++ and then go to the Text tab and in the Format group,…make whatever adjustments you want to make to your selected text.…
So I can change it and make this lyric a little bit larger,…or I can change its style to something like Bold or Italic.…Now what you need to understand about using the Format group of the Text tab…is that the changes you're making are just local changes.…They only affect that one, single instance of that one selected text object in your score.…By editing a text locally, you are not editing the actual text style.…
