Here’s another example of using the Advanced Filter. There is actually a fourth type of. In Sibelius 7, if you look in the Text tab of the Ribbon with the title selected, you will see that you can change the text style, but only to another system text style: Select a piece of Expression text, and the available styles are all staff text styles: Selecting some lyrics will yield a similar result.
So in this example I do a system selection of bars 2 and 3. I want to keep the intro and the ending and end up with 4 copies of the verse. Now I change each of those barlines into a double barline.Next I do a system selection of all the bars I want to repeat. Then do the same with the end repeat barline. Click on the start repeat barline to select it and hit the delete key. This is quick and easy to do.First, I need to get rid of the repeat barlines.
Click “None” and now I scroll down the list to “Lyrics line 1, Lyrics line 2,” etc. There are 2 buttons at the bottom of that list, none and all. In the Find: column I check “Text.” In the View window I select “Text.”Notice in the middle the where it says, “Specific text styles” all of the text styles are highlighted in dark blue. Now I’ve got this:I have the form of the song but I need to delete some on these lyrics.I select the bars of the first verse, in this case bars 2 and 3 and open the advanced filter. In this case I need 3 copies.
So for verse 2 select Lyrics line 1, 3 and 4 to filter and delete, etc. I click the delete key and they’re gone.Then I repeat this process for all the other verses. So I have this:I click the select button in the lower right corner and I’ve just the lyrics for verses 2-4 highlight.
This filters all the lyrics no matter what verse. Go to the tab Appearance and click on “Reset postion.” Now all your lyrics should be lined up.In Sibelius 6: go to the menu Edit>Filter>Lyrics. The lyrics are still highlighted. Next go to the tab Text you’ll notice on the far left the pane for text style is blank.Click on it select “Lyrics line 1.” Now the text style for all the lyrics is the same. This filters all the lyrics no matter what verse. So I select all the bars with lyrics in them and then:In Sibelius 7: go to the tab Home>Filter>Lyrics.
Now all your lyrics should be lined up.You can significantly speed up this process if you learn the keyboard shortcuts for advanced filter, reset position, etc. Go to Layout>Reset position. The lyrics should still all be highlighted.
