I am an experienced Sibelius user, but am not affiliated with Sibelius Software. Sib 1.4 - 6.01, Windows XP Pro SP3, 2.13 GHz Core 2 Duo Audiophile 2496 4 G RAM. I will try to generate a list of all the valid types when I have a chance. There appear to be very few active developers, so I am grateful that they keep the document up to fdate when now things are added to the language. I doubt the documentation for ManuScript has a very high priority, though. Some types, like Transposition, are deprecated they will not show up in a score running Sib 5 or 6, though they may be present in scores loaded into earlier versions of Sibelius. It would be simpler of course if these were all documented. If it is not documented, I write a plugin to trace the type, and can use that from then on. In my experience, any object that appears in a score can be accessed by ManuScript. The Hierarchy of Objects might be improved by using the Type strings for the various objects, and also by including all the Bar Object types, or a list of all the possible type strings for objects could be added. I would think it would be an improvement to either change the headings to match the Type text (the simplest change) or to add the Type string to the descriptions. Note that SystemTextItem, LyricItem, and SymbolItem do match the Type text). Mostly the names used in the descriptions of Bar Objects match their Type string, but this is not true in all cases (Text being the poster child, since it is described as TextItem. That said, there is nothing in the document that specifically tells you the strings used as types in Bar Objects, and it would be useful to have that. I would personally describe as reasonably correct and complete, and the Sib 6 documentation was greatly improved over previous versions. 5.x: Incorrect/incomplete ManuScript doc: Text, Barline, Graphic, Transposition, BarNumber I would also note that I reported this product defect to Sibelius technical support, and they blew me off. Is reasonably correct and complete documentation for ManuScript object types available somewhere? The documentation distributed by Sibelius isn't it. However, there were also bar objects with Type = SystemTextItem, which is listed in the object documentation but is not in the list of possible Type values, and also objects with Type = BarNumber, which is *neither* documented as an object type *nor* listed as a possible Type value. When I ran my plug-in on a real, moderately complex score originally created with Sibelius 4 (but running the plug-in in Sibelius 5), I found that there were indeed bar objects with Type = Text and not TextItem, consistent with the documentation. Is this information accessible via ManuScript? If so, where is it documented? For example, a RepeatTimeLine has an associated number, an OctavaLine has an associated "8va" or "15va", a Box has a height as well as a start and stop position, etc. The list of Type values also includes many specializations of Line that may have additional information associated with them. The list of possible Type values also includes Barline, Graphic, and Transposition, which are also not documented elsewhere. 141 for Sibelius 6) does not include any of these, but instead includes Text, which as far as I can tell is not documented as an object type anywhere else. However, the list of possible Type values for objects in a bar (p. 104 and 107 in the Sibelius 6 ManuScript documentation), all of which are derived from BarObject. 64 in the Sibelius 5 ManuScript documentation, pp. The documentation of object types includes SymbolItem, SystemSymbolItem, TextItem, and SystemTextItem (p. (The following applies to both 5.x and 6.)
