I use Sibelius (an older version) and I have the option to change notes, chords, whatever that have been transposed but don't look right (or are right). I highlight the item in question and use a simple keyboard command. (It's been a while since I've used Sibelius but it is easy to do.)

This horse has been flogged so much it has scars. Peter Gannon has explained it, and we've had work arounds, however with music as math, and a computer based formulae, it makes sense.

All kinds of people who are new to the software get full of agnst over it.


My ten year old version of Sibelius handles this without problems.

I to bVI in C: C Ab7 ...

or F: F Db7 ...

or Eb: Eb Cb7. Now if someone doesn't like Eb to Cb7, that's fine. Eb to Cb is correct whether or not anyone likes it. I should be allowed to override that B since it is a faulty transposition.

Eb B is jarring to me. (Gm Gm\F# looks better than Gm Gm\Gb as well.)

At any rate, is this something I have to live with in 2011? Is there an option I'm overlooking? Is there a workaround?

Thanks! DH
