What you can't do is use your existing credentials to register it. There's a procedure that you have to follow, and you'll likely have to use compatibility mode.

Ok. That's good. Can you screenshot the playback devices list and the audio engine options dialogs, please.
Did anything change before this started happening (updated programs or drivers etc). Is this recent change or has it always done this since you updated to 2024.3.1

You are wrong on two counts: 1. Sib 6 generally runs quite well under windows 11. However it will not run at all under later MacOS versions. 2. It is still possible to update your support plans to the latest version through a reseller such as Sweet water (in the US) https://www.avid.com/find-a-resel...

Hi, before we attempt this one, can you tell us the exact version of sibelius Ultimate and the exact version of MacOS, please?

There is a HUGE difference between a tie and a slur. A tie connects two notes of the same pitch, across a beat or a barline. A slur instructs the player to play smoothly (legato) whatever is under the line. A slur can be left hanging without much of a problem. A tie cannot. It must be connected to a...

OK, problem solved. You have used a tie instead of a slur in the first f in the first bar and this is causing the second f to not sound. Replace it with a slur and it plays fine. As an aside, you have live playback and live tempo both enabled, but you are using tempo and swing instructions in the mu...

You need to tell us your exact version of the Macos.

You can send a Sib file, but you have to zip it first.

Use focus on staves. Select the parts you want to view and press the button on the layout tab. Of course, I think they only introduced the function in one of the later versions. Previous versions were all or nothing.

I would hope the educational version would be cheaper, but there's no telling with Avid.
If you currently have a perpetual licence, you can reinstate it. Try contacting a reseller.

You do realise that this is not the official sibelius forum. There are no sibelius staffers here. You can post your wishlist at the official forum, https://www.sibelius.com/cgi-bin/helpce ... ;groupid=3 but don't hold your breath waiting.

TBH, I'm a bit disappointed that you are expecting the free version to do this quite advanced function. I don't think you will be able to. See if Musescore will do it. That is free open source software. Sibelius is full powered commercial software. Musescore shares many of Sibelius' more grown up fe...

You can export a house style from an existing file that behaves as you wish and import that style into your new file. That should retain all of your settings. Other than that, as Andy suggested, the official forum is probably the best place. I never use the feature you are asking about as I don't wr...

This is one of a number of cross staff situations that sibelius handles badly. There is no workaround that I know of.
