From Sibelius:<\/p>\n
If you are using a laptop (notebook) computer that doesn’t have a built-in numeric keypad, or if you are left-handed and find changing note value on the numeric keypad with your right hand difficult, you may wish to invest in an external numeric keypad for your computer.<\/p>\n
Because Sibelius’s Keypad specifically responds to the number keys on the numeric keypad (and not the number keys along the top of the main\u00a0keyboard<\/b>), not all external numeric keypads will operate correctly in Sibelius.<\/p>\n
For example, the popular Kensington\u00a0USB<\/b>\u00a0numeric keypad won’t work with Sibelius, because it mimics the keys along the top of the main\u00a0keyboard<\/b>\u00a0rather than the numeric keypad itself.<\/p>\n
Although we do not officially endorse any of the following products, Sibelius users have reported that these external numeric keypads work correctly for them:<\/p>\n
There are a few things to be aware of when checking compatibility before you buy an external keypad:<\/p>\n
If you find your external keypad has these limitations, you can work round them by creating custom\u00a0keyboard<\/b>\u00a0shortcuts in Sibelius.
