External Keypad for Laptop Users
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.
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 keyboard), not all
external numeric keypads will operate correctly in Sibelius.
For example, the popular Kensington USB numeric keypad won't
work with Sibelius, because it mimics the keys along the top
of the main keyboard rather than the numeric keypad itself.
Sibelius users have reported that these external
numeric keypads work correctly for them.
External USB MIDI Keyboard
Note entry on Sibelius is markedly faster when using a MIDI
keyboard. USB MIDI keyboards come in many varieties. Those
who travel with a laptop may wish to look into a two octave,
bus-powered USB MIDI keyboard such as any of the ones listed
below.
