The notation software - not the symphony.
How do I drag the keypad thingy down once it's gone off the top of the screen? I've tried everything I can think of and it won't budge! The blue band bit at the top has gone off the screen and there's nothing I can click on that will catch it to drag it back down with. My mouse pointer won't go beyond the edge of the screen either and I've tried rotating the screen, changing resolution and all manner of things I can think of but to no avail.
Any help in retrieving it will be appreciated.

I got it back by creating a shortcut which placed the keypad in the centre of the screen. If there's an easier way to get it back if it does go off the top of the screen again (and I'll make sure I don't do that again), then please let me know.

A trick for windows that have moved off the edge of your desktop:
Either Minimise/Maximise in Task Manager or Task Tray, or right-click on the application in the task bar and select "move", then use your mouse keys to navigate the window back into sight.

If the title bar of your open explorer window has moved off screen, so you can't drag the window with the mouse:
– hold Alt, press the Space-bar and then choose (Maximize).
– Use the cursor arrow keys to relocate the window so that the title bar is on-screen.
– Right click.

Thanks people! It's this sort of thing a technophobe like myself needs to know about.
Just glad woodwind mechanisms aren't reliant on computers to control them otherwise I'd be well stumped!

Technophobe? You? You're kidding.
I guess it's just a matter of being-used-to-this-kind-of-problem. Just like in detecting wobbly key motion, and fixing it with superglue. :-)
That's what this forum makes an invaluable resource - the breadth of different skills and experience of all those in here.

Computers can never replace screwdrivers.

...and vice versa. Or do you want to see every nerd running around with a screwdriver? <shudders>

I carry a screwdriver at all times. It's invaluable for tightening up clarinet screws and also for computer tinkering.

I am really not sure if Sibelius has a setting for keeping (or not) current settings on close. In Finale (at least in past versions - I haven't looked for it in the 2010 version), if you reset this (uncheck the box),the screen positions of most window elements will go back to their defaults. If it's set, menus and screen elements will return the way you left them when you last closed the program. If you look around the Sibelius menus (I've used Sibelius but never ran into this specific problem), you may be able to find something similar.
