Join Jenny Amaya for an in-depth discussion in this video Overview of the ribbon, part of Sibelius 7 Essential Training.
The ribbon is the wide band of command buttons that appears at the top of…the Sibelius window.…You may be familiar working with ribbons in many of the Microsoft Office programs.…The ribbon in Sibelius 7 is a very powerful new tool that houses all of the…features of the program.…For now, I'm going to give you a simple overview of the ribbon, so that you will…have an idea of how it is organized.…And we will get into the details of the features within the ribbon…throughout this course.…First, the ribbon has a very specific hierarchical arrangement, starting…with tabs, which contain related sets of commands that are organized into named groups.…
The groups contain the actual buttons, or commands. There are 11 tabs.…The first tab is the File tab.…You may notice that it's colored purple.…It's very different from all of the other tabs.…When you click on the File tab, you're temporarily removed from your score, and…taken to an expanded list of traditional File menu options, including options for…saving your score, opening and closing score files, and printing, and exporting.…
