Fonts and Sibelius 7

Here is the instruction for use in Sibelius 7.

Maestro replacements work well with Sibelius 7 (Vienna, Oslo, Paris, Stockholms).
Firenza needs more tweaking. Other fonts are addendums, work well but are not a direct replacement (because they are extras and don’t include all symbols).

Here is the instruction in OS X for the change from Opus to Oslo, but works in Windows as well with other fonts.

1. Install font on your machine.
2. Start your score.
3. Add substitutions:
   Go to Preferences, Music Fonts, and click on Choose… at Music font (upper left):
4. Choose font Oslo (or Vienna or Stockholms or Paris):
   
5.  Click OK and than Add Font buttons.
6. On the right panel choose substitutes: for each substitute you need to click in to the field and than click on Choose… and select the font Oslo. When ready, click on Set Substitutions
7. Go to your open document’s panel, and select menu Text and click on the right bottom corner close to Styles to open a window:
8. Select Common symbols and click on Edit…
9. At Basic Formats/Font: choose Oslo and click OK.
10. Than choose Music Text and click Edit… 
11. Make the same selection to Oslo and choose 24 pt. size.
12. Now the all important symbols are transformed in to Oslo from Opus. At the step 6 and 8 you can set up other substitutes.
