Hello Maree,
Yes, your Jazz leadsheet template sounds nice. I use a lead sheet format
quite a bit. Could you send to my personal E-Mail at dgcarlson@xxxxxxxxxxx
Very much appreciate your offer.
Dave

Thanks Dave,
I love your Sibelius tips and your latest has certainly helped me access the
Score Info Dialog much better.
By the way I had a sighted colleague sit down with me and help me with
layout and house style issues so that now I have a pretty reliable format
for jazz fonts if this is useful to any one, I can pass on the information.
I always make it so that my first page will be 4 bars per system and 8
system per page. This is certainly reliable for lead sheets but you have to
do some arithmetic if it's a longer arrangement with multi rests.
Thanks again, and a peaceful Easter to you.
Maree
