If you are using it for school, you really do need sib ultimate. When you buy the full software, you also get a year of updates and free help. DO NOT LET THIS LAPSE. INCLUDE IT IN YOUR BUDGET. That way it will only cost you £80/£90 a year to keep as up-to-date as possible. I don't kn ow if this is s...

It would be very useful to have more info, and possibly a score to view/play with.

What machine is this (apple/windows)
What version of the OS?
What version and tier of Sibelius?
What changed between it working and not working?
A screenshot of the Audio engine options and playback devices dialogs.

If you email me the score I will take a look at it to see what can be seen.

It would help if we knew your OS and version. Also, do you have the absolute, latest version of the sounds with the bass clarinet patch?

I'd have to see an actual score that shows the problems to diagnose them, but the text off the page syndrome is usually due to inadvertant dragging or dragging while in panorama mode. Just somethign to watch out for.

If you must have x bars on a page, try making the staff size smaller - use the inspector, in the bars panel.

So much in sib depends on your choice of transposition interval and on the settings for the individual instruments. Can you send me your score and the .opt file from PS and Sib so I can have a close look at what is happening? This long-distance relationship is making it very hard for me to detect yo...

The type where it's above or below the actual bar is called an ossia. If you are using the full version of Sibelius ossias are available on the Home tab of the ribbon. Footnotes are a little more involved. See the attached link to the official Sibelius forum. https://www.sibelius.com/cgi-bin/helpcen...

Photoscore does not eliminate your role as proofreader! :D PS can put incorrect key and time changes into a scanned score (even from a pdf) and you should very carefully check the start of every system for spurious key changes. I get caught out by this quite a lot. The change between 2 sharps/flats ...

If there are multirests nearby, make sure the text is attached before the first bar of the multirest,

You have to make absolutely sure that the key signs are correct throughout the score BEFORE you send to sibelius. If necessary, force the key change in PS at the start of the 2nd movement.

Then the best place for you to ask is the official Sielius forum at https://www.sibelius.com/cgi-bin/helpce ... &groupid=3

If you are creating lead sheets, am I right in thinking you are using a fixed number of bars per system? If so, I think you are probably trying to put too many bars on a line. Use [ctrl/cmd]a, followed by [ctrl/cmd][shift]u followed by [ctrl/cmd][shift]n. If this doesn't solve your issue, try changi...

OK, so you ought to be able to delete those, but not the spaces in which they are saved. Just re-edit them to create your new symbols.

You can't (and shouldn't) delete any of the built-in symbols. Not for any reason.
