In this release, we have also included a small change to the way staves are hidden using Hide Empty Staves when Focus on Staves is on. When an unfocused staves occurs alongside a stave that is also hidden using Hide Empty Staves (which uses a dotted line), then the two lines are slightly offset so that it’s possible to determine that there are two different types of hidden objects). When a stave is hidden using Focus on Staves, there’s now a new layout marker (i.e. legacy behaviour), so you’ll need to turn the feature off if you’re interested in trying out the new workflow. This allows users to see scratch staves within Panorama view that won’t ever appear within the Page View of the score. This facilitates a workflow in which the Panorama mode could be considered a “Master Palette” for all available instruments within a score, whereas the Page View (used in conjunction with the Focus on Staves feature) may only show a subset of the score’s instruments. We’ve also added a new Engraving Rule (Staves → Layout) that allows the Focus On Staves feature to be disabled in “Panorama” View while still being active in the “Page” view. There have been no changes in the way you can use a selection in the score to focus on a set of staves, so you’ll still likely find it’s just as useful. To help you choose only a few staves, or omit a few (depending on your need at the time), you can click the “Clear All” or “Select All” options from the list. If you untick them all, the score will revert to showing all the staves. Choosing more instruments from the list will add them to the focussed set. When ticking or unticking the names in the list, Sibelius will turn on Focus on Staves and only display those instruments in the score. Clicking the top half now toggles it on and off, and clicking the bottom half shows the list of staves in the score or part. As you can see, we’ve moved the Focus on Staves button out and split it to add the dropdown. Unchecking this option will enable the new workflow. When this is checked, you’ll get the existing behaviour, where using Focus on Staves will unhide any already hidden stave. The setting is tucked away in Engraving Rules > Staves and is called “Show hidden empty staves when using Focus on Staves”. This opens up several new possibilities to have scratch staves that you may use to work out rhythms, tidy incoming MIDI files or split out individual staves or even combined staves that you can still use in the parts. This release enhances the Focus on Staves feature so you can use both “Hide Empty Staves” and “Focus and Staves” at the same time.
