How to Use a Template
- Install the complete NorFonts font family on your computer.
- Download the newest template compatible with your version of Sibelius.
- Open the
.sibtemplate in Sibelius. - Choose Appearance → House Style → Export.
- Save the House Style with a clear name, such as NorPen2026 or BopMusic2026.
- Open your own score and choose Appearance → House Style → Import to apply it.
Tip: When applying a House Style to an existing score, work on a copy first. If you want to preserve the score’s page size and margins, avoid importing document-layout settings.
Troubleshooting
- The font does not appear in Sibelius: confirm that the complete NorFonts family is installed, then restart Sibelius.
- Sibelius cannot open the template: download the next older compatibility version from the table above.
- The score does not look correct after importing: confirm that you exported the House Style from the template for the same NorFonts family.
