Re: Revert to Sib 7.5

I did leave 7.5 on my computer, but now that I've uninstalled Ultimate, 7.5 is asking to be activated. I used my System ID and Activation ID, but they were rejected. What do I do now?

Re: Revert to Sib 7.5

Does anyone know how to stop the trial early, so I can go back to 7.5?

Re: Revert to Sib 7.5

Thanks, Mike My issue is primarily philosophical/financial: are the improvements in Ultimate sufficiently positive to overcome my resistance to paying every month, forever? So far, the answer is no. I'm of the age that when you buy a piece of software, you've bought it. You're not required to keep b...

Revert to Sib 7.5

I normally use Sib 7.5, but have recently been using the Sib Ultimate 30-day trial. I will probably revert to my already purchased version; what happens then? Will I get control back for 7.5, which I do not have now? I would assume all the work I've done recently would need to be exported to 7.5, in...

Re: Ratchet won't stop

All attempts failed. I'm going to enter notes for ratchet that don't play back. Thanks anyway.

Re: Ratchet won't stop

Mike, so far it doesn't work. I wrote this: ~075,0. Sibelius says the pitch of the ratchet is B4. Is that 75?
What else might I be doing wrong?
thanks again!

Re: Ratchet won't stop

Thank you so much, Mike. I think your solution is my only hope. Unfortunately, my MIDI chops are scant. Could you please show me an example of the correct MIDI code (spaces, commas, exactly what it looks like). Since it is a single line staff, what pitch do I use?
Thank you for your invaluable help!

Ratchet won't stop

I didn't see any mention of this when I searched. I have a largish score and just added a change of instrument to the crotales player: a ratchet. While it plays back perfectly by itself, when I play all instruments together, the ratchet continues to play without pause. Quite annoying. I'm using Note...

PDF probing problems

I have discovered an unnerving anomaly. In my recent work, p (for soft) looks fine and prints fine in Sibelius. When I convert it to a PDF, it still looks perfect, but it prints incorrectly – the vertical line of the letter (the extender) is missing. It looks like a printer problem, but it's actuall...

Sib Choral Sounds with Sib 7.5

I acquired the Sibelius Choral Sounds pack about the time that they released it, years ago. As a choral composer, I was pleased with these sounds, and now I would like to continue using them with Sib 7.5, but I cannot figure out how. I have upgraded to Kontakt 5, which I heard would do it, but it ju...
