Better integration between playback and notation

New Ideas : Sibelius Feedback Community 2018-03-20

Summary:

I wish for Sibelius Now in sibelius there is Dictionary and SoundWorld for control the instrument. I can create my own SoundWorld and DIctionary, but it is long way and not flexibile. What about Multiple DIctionary for each instrument (use different Dictionaries for each instrument) or add new Rules For Instrument which take all data from Dictionary. But Rules will be only for playback. And allow use more control same time for each rule. For example when I use trill, allow play trill and change duration notes played as trill, dynamic etc.. on same time. not only one option. Here is my idea detailed explained: 1. Dictionary Dictionary can stay as is, but user can add or create new Dictionary and use it on scocre. Multiple Dictionary idea is for playback the articulations, stafftext, lines etc.. for instrument. Idea is to use more dictionaries. Imagine that Piano will have different dictionary as Flute. Different dynamic control, trills, etc.. User can change on score the playback rule. For example on bar 10 for Flute, change rule which is using for piano. Imagine there will be one Dictionary as global and others for reaplace the global setting for selected instrument. If in instrument Dictionary is not defined dynamic pp play 32 with Attack 20, then this information will be taken from global Dictionary. Dictionary menu On Dictionary menu, there will be displayed all created Dictionary and can be named. Maybe will be better list with folders or categories, similar to Instrument List, because if someone use lot of different VSTi orchestral samples, that can be lot of Dictionary for each instrument and it can be easyli managed when it will be categorized by Instrument, VSTi name, or own category. Tab menu There will be new Dictionary Tab on main panel (as Home, Play, Layout etc...), where will be menu, as for Lines or Symbols and there will be displayed all Dictionaries. From this Tab menu, can be displayed new window, something like Ideas, and there will be list of Dictionaries and his categories. Adding / Using Dictionary in score: 1. add dictionary in SoundWorld(as call it Avid) or SoundMap (I dont know how to call it) xml file and set up it in Playback Device. 2. add dictionary in to staff (instrument on score) from menu, described it above. Adding Dictionary from menu to score, replace used Dictionary from point 1, or replace global Dictionary. When Dictionary will be added on score, it will be displayed as text and it can be hidden. I imagine similar or same as Notion6 and his Rules. Dictionary rules and playback each Dictionary StaffText, System, Lines, Artic.. etc.. will have all posibilies displayed: Program Change Dynamic Change Dynamic Control Change etc.. Maybe it will be different but Idea is, use it all simultaneously if it is necessary. Imagine that when trill is played, user want set up not only play trill, but length of notes. For example change duration of notes in to 115% while playing trills. Maybe make it modular, there will be one which can be changed to whatever, and when User want add another, there will be + button and set up other. For example: Program Change (or change it in to Dynamic Change, etc..) + (add another, Program Change, Dynamic Change, ... etc..) (user can add many changes as he want / need) Better playback controll add keyswitch in Dictionary and more possibilies for keyswitche controll for are existed. For example for keyswitch add when it will be played. Before note on, after note on and off. Or line if Line is used (before Line on, after Line on, etc..)
