Adjusting the page layout in Sibelius ensures that the score is visually consistent and meets the required formatting standards. This involves setting page margins, importing the correct house style, and fine-tuning the layout of the main sections of the piece.

Workflow for Adjusting Page Layout

• Delete the Full Score texts that appear on the page.

When prompted with “Deleting this text will remove it from the score and all of your parts. Do you want it to be hidden here instead?”, click No.

View Layout Settings:

• Click on the “View” tab.

• Select “Staff Rulers” and “Selection Rulers” to see the layout and page margin settings. 

For instrumental pieces, set the staff line distance to 14.5 on both sides of the page. This may vary for vocal pieces, so follow the structure in the House Style you are importing.

Importing House Style (if necessary): 

• Verify the selected house style.

• If needed, import the House Style again from "Appearance" -> "House Style" -> "Import".

Adjust Layout for Main Sections:

• Adjust the layout for the main sections of the piece, such as Hânes.

• Set the indent of the staff line to 50.

• To achieve precise adjustments, set the Zoom to 300%**.

**Note: If you make each detail distance of the layout in 300 % Zoom unit, you can get the exact number 50 instead of fractional numbers like 50,2 or 49,9. 

Zoom Settings:

1. Under View> Zoom> select the 300 %.

2. In the lower right corner of the Sibelius window, there is a chart where you can adjust the ‘–’ and ‘+’ Zoom settings. You can also adjust them here if necessary.
