Sibelius won’t do this automatically, but if you change the default vertical position of the rehearsal marks and then run the Position Rehearsal Marks plug with a value that moves the rehearsal marks left by -5 or -6 spaces that should do it.

Many thanks!!

Hi Sam, Thanks for reading my blog. The problem you have is, you don’t have a start repeat in the score. So you have an unresolved repeat set up. This will cause Sibelius to stop the bar numbering, which causes the rehearsal boxes to be blank (the narrow rectangles). Put a start repeat barline at the start of your repeat section and it should resolve this issue.

I have another issue with rehearsal marks. In the score I am working on, the rehearsal marks worked correctly, until I entered an “end Repeat” bar line. All of the rehearsal marks after that appear as narrow rectangles. If I remove the end repeat bar line and replace it with a normal one, the rehearsal marks appear correctly.

Hi Tim, There is a plugin called “Go To.” When you have this plugin installed, you can launch this plugin and type in the bar number or rehearsal letter and it will go to that spot.
If you are in Sibelius 6 you will need to go to the Sibelius plugin download page. If you are in Sibelius 7 you can install from your file menu. See my blog post on installing plugins
in Sibelius 7.

Best,

Do you know of any way to find the next or a certain rehearsal mark? (I’m working on a huge score). If I use the Mac commands, option+Command+G, a window opens up, I input the measure and it goes right there. Is there anything like this for Sibelius?

Thanks,

Robbin, You are welcome! Thanks for reading my blog!

Thank you for your article Sibelius Tutorial: Non consecutive rehearsal letters “ A B A1 B1 C A2 B2 D-outro”

It was very helpful.
