Instrument changes from unpitched to pitched instruments now create key signatures automatically.

Tuplet brackets and numbers now scale neatly when working with smaller staff sizes. Making a change to a staff size in Engraving rules, and then clicking OK (without having unfocused the staff size spin box) now makes the change in your score. Weve made dialog appearance improvements to Engraving Rules > Staves with 200 DPI scaling on Windows with high pixel density displays. Smaller staff sizes all decrease so you can no longer get these out of order. Its now possible to change Normal staff size to a smaller value then Medium staff size value in Engraving Rules. Each section can be collapsed up too, so you can hide controls you arent using at that time. The contents of the Inspector will sometimes be too tall for it to contain all the controls, so a scrollbar will appear on the right hand side to allow you to find what you need easily. For example, the Scale only appears when you have a Chord diagram selected. Sibelius will populate the Inspector with features and controls that are only relevant for the item or items you have selected. When undocked, you can resize the Inspector by dragging out the bottom edge. You can pull this off and dock to on the right, or if you prefer, you can leave it floating useful if you have a second monitor. The Inspector will appear docked on the left of your main Sibelius window. You can invoke it from the Home tab, as before, but also from the View > Panels section of the Ribbon. The Inspector now also behaves like other panels. The other sections have been smartened up to align tick boxes, feature labels and controls to give the Inspector the professional look you have come to expect. To help explain and guide the user, there are now useful graphics to indicate the sorts of things youre capable of doing to any given piece of text. The main area weve improved on is the Text section. Sibelius 8.5 is our first foray into this, by adding the new Staff size options, and weve smartened up the Inspector to give it a clean and modern look. This will allow you to select an object in the score and see all the properties and possibilities for editing that object.

Part of the overall vision we have for the way you work in Sibelius, looks at minimizing features being hidden away in menus and dialogs, and presenting them in a clean and feature-packed Inspector panel.
