Using KM with Sibelius (music notation)

Hi dear friends, I'm trying to program a shortcut to write dynamics at Sibelius music notation.
The steps to write a dynamic is:
1- Command+E (keystroke)
2- to write dynamic "forte" I have to use Command+F

But, I can't use Command+F since it is a default keystroke to search at Mac OS.
Any suggestion how to bypass this?
Thank a lot.

Hi @Ricardo_Teles. Welcome to the Keyboard Maestro forum!

Rathar than using a keystroke, consider using: Select or Show a Menu Item.

I don’t have the Sibelius app, but here’s an example macro that selects the View > Show View Options menu in the Finder. If there are menu options to complete the steps you list, you should be able to modify this macro to write a dynamic.

DOWNLOAD Macro File:
Finder > Show View Options.kmmacros (6.1 KB)
Note: This macro was uploaded in a DISABLED state. It must be ENABLED before it can be run. If it does not trigger, the macro group might also need to be ENABLED.

Thank you so much, I will try this solution.
