Earlier versions of Sibelius allowed you to set default locations to open and save songs. Is there a way to do the same in 2018.1? I'm constantly having to navigate through several file structures, especially when exporting midi or audio.

From the Ribbon, does File > Preferences > Files not give you a box that allows you to set your preferred location? Mine is simply C:\Sibelius Scores, which then has some clearly labelled sub-folders.

If it isn't in the latest version, then they've screwed that up too! :(

Thanks, I found it. I know I looked all through the preferences before and couldn't find it. Maybe they put it back in to the 2018 version.
