Meet your best friend in Sibelius, the Esc key, which stops all action and cancels or deselects every object in your score. Learn how using escape and undo can get you out of any trouble that you get yourself into while using Sibelius.
- [Lecturer] In Sibelius, … we often call the Escape key your best friend. … Escape stops all action and cancels or deselects … everything in your score. … When combined with undo, those two commands … can get you out whatever trouble … you've gotten yourself into. … If you've been participating … in the click and drag on everything exercise, … you may have ended up pressing a key … or engaging functions of the software … that at least for now may have gotten you … into a potentially confusing situation. … For example, you can easily end up in note input mode, … unable to make selections with your mouse … because all you seem to be able to do is input notes. … I assure you this perfectly normal and absolutely wonderful … once you know how you got into this mess. … But, for now, when things like this happen … and you're not sure why, you're first reaction … should always be to escape to stop all action. … Actually, when using Escape, … it's best to get into the habit of taping the key twice …
