Nice tutorial, many thanks. However, you didn't explain how the new part gets integrated into the existing score. When I repeat the procedure, the new part is displayed in its own separate window on the screen. However, it does not appear in the Full Score window. Edit: after watching another YT video, I realised that I needed to use Home -> Add Instrument instead of Part -> New Part Still not sure what the difference is.
A new part will echo an existing instrument. Say you needed an Alto Sax doubling French horn. You add a new part with the appropriate transposition settings. If you want a separate part in the score, you need a separate instrument, thus the add instrument. I know, it's confusing. I'm sure since this video was made there are changes to the way things are done in some of Sibelius.
I'm using Sibelius ultimate. The parts menu may not be available in other versions. If you can't see any menus in the ribbon there's a little arrow on the upper right that will allow you to see all the menus.
Select a part, press the W key to see that part. There is also a plus button toward the upper right that lists all parts. Once a part is displayed you can edit the bar numbers
Thanks. You explain so well and in such a relaxed way. Inspirational!

My Sibelius doesn't have a parts menu and I can't figure out how to create them :(
