Could someone explain the pathway to using audio source lite? I have the latest version of sibilius.
I cannot find it on the menu of tools. Thank you!

You'll have to explain what you want to more more clearly. "Audio source lite" is not something that I'm familiar with. Are you talking about the 'lite' version of Sibelius Sounds, perhaps?

Thank you for responding. I have the latest version of Sibelius. What I wish to do is use the flexi-time equivalent, but not with midi. Instead with a microphone to record. A search on the forum called this "Audio Source" (a separate program) and Sibelius has a version called audio source lite, according to posts

Maybe it is called something different now. but I wish to find out where it, or some program, that allows me to do the equivalent a flexi-time (but with a microphone on an accousitc instrument like piano) can be used. And finally how to access it from the Sibelius menu.

Do you perhaps mean AudioScore Lite? That hasn't been provided with Sibelius since Sibelius 6, I think, and doesn't in fact seem to be available any more.

You can download a demo of the latest version of AudioScore (AudioScore Ultimate) from the Neuratron.com website. That still seems to do what you want - play/sing into a microphone, 'record' to a file and send the result to Sibelius.

Best of luck with this procedure, as it's very hit and miss!

If you play, say, a single note melody on a clarinet, with perfect intonation and spot on timing, you should get something reasonable as a result. If not, or if you play a polyphonic instrument, then you may well get gibberish results.
