Sibelius Version: 6.2

I currently have Sibelius 6.2 and have installed it on my macbook pro and my windows desk top. If I work on a score on my macbook it becomes incompatible with my desktop (but not vice versa). Is this for real?? Does the same problem exist with Sibelius 7?

There is no such incompatibilty. A Sib 6.2 file created on a Mac will open in Sibelius 6.2 (or higher) on a PC and vice versa. You may have to do some adjustments to the playback configuration as they may be different (not if both computers are using Sibelius Essentials for their sounds). Sib 7 and above will do the same, though you'll want Sib 7's sounds installed on both machines.

But the file should simply open on either machine. If yours won't then somehow the Mac is screwing things up, I'd guess. Don't ask me how, I gave up on Macs ages ago! Never again....
