Split Multirests for Sibelius 4

Version 1.20
Added 01 Aug 2005 (last updated 19 Jun 2012)

For use with Sibelius 3.x, Sibelius 4 and Sibelius 4.1

Split Multirest uses hidden text objects to split multirests into smaller pieces, a specified number of bars into the multirest. You can split a multirest once or several times, and specify whether to split all multirests below a certain size, or to split all multirests above a certain size.

Fixed in v1.20 (2006-07-04):

  • The plug-in was not calculating the size correctly for Multirests longer than n bars, which is now fixed.
  • The plug-in disallowed splitting all multirests into single bars, which is now fixed.

Use this version on Sibelius 3 and 4. For Sibelius 5 and later, use Split Multirests.

Version 02.64.00
Added 01 Aug 2005 (last updated 24 Jun 2012)

For use with Sibelius 3.x

This is an updated version of the plug-in supplied with Sibelius 3. It has the following improvements over the existing version:

  • clearer user interface for setting breaks on pages correct breaks used
  • faster (screen redraw turned off)
  • ability to unlock formatting
  • much improved handling of multirests in extracted parts (new in v2.20.2).
  • ability to automatically insert system breaks at rehearsal marks (new in v2.60.01)
  • option to ignore pick-up (upbeat) bars (new in v2.60.01)
  • pick-up bars are now defined to be irregular bars that are either the first bar in the score, the first bar in the selection, or are irregular bars that have bar number changes (such as pick-up bars created by Create > Time Signature). This allows the ignoring of pick-ups in the middle of multi-song scores (new in v2.64)
  • A new option to break on special barline (such as double and final barlines) has been added.

For Sibelius 5, use the shipping version of this plugin
