It seems that Pages might be able to do what I need, but the latest version has made page layout functionality less-than-intuitive, and know little about page layout to begin with. Since I already have rough-draft PDFs of the songs, I tried assembling them in Preview, PDFpen Pro 7, and Apple’s Pages. I’m guessing I’d have to do that manually, because by default Sibelius uses wildcards for Song Title and copyright info, both of which would vary per song. Formatting the first page of each new song - Is it possible to apply a ‘first page’ layout to the first page of each song? Or would I have to create that layout on manually (except for the first song)? Having different songs in different keys - Would hiding the cautionary accidentals suffice, or would that leave an awkward blank space (occupied by the hidden accidentals)?Ģ. The problem is that copying/pasting all the songs into a single Sibelius document would introduce issues like:ġ. I realize that I can create blank pages in Sibelius for the non-music content, and then paste in that content as images created in another application like a word-processor or illustration app. PLEASE only respond to this thread if you’ve actually done this type of project (or something similar) before. What I’m wondering is: Does it make sense to do the layout entirely in Sibelius 7.5? And if not, is there an inexpensive page-layout application (for Mac OS 10.10 Yosemite) that would do the job of combining all the songs and adding page numbers? The only non-music pages will be a front cover, back cover, title page and table of contents. The pieces are currently in separate Sibelius 7.5 files. I need to create a print-ready PDF of a collection of original music.
