I've taken the liberty to enhance this plug-in to take care of bar
checks, bar numbers, ties, (start of) slurs, and measure rests.

It requires Sibelius 5. There's a much better version of the original
plug-in available, but that requires Sibelius 6.1 which I've currently
not planned to upgrade to.

Feedback and improvements are welcome.

For the sake of completeness: this is the original annoucement:
