Re: Amending default fingering position for piano bass clef
Set the default position for the fingering text style to be below the note. I'm not at my machine at the moment, but look on the appearance tab.

Re: New Sibelius Ultimate can't see VSTs
Sibelius no longer has 32 bit versions. The latest ultimate version is fully 64 bit.
Is your NotePerformer up-to-date? If you haven't updated that, you could be using the wrong dll.

Re: Staves snapping too far to the bottom of the page
Be awarecthat, if you do this, then later use reset space above/below, or some other function that changes page justification settings, you'll have to do it all again. Better to change the Justify staves when x% full setting. Sib automatically sets it to 60% which is way too small. Change it to 80 o...

Re: Sibelius 6.2.0 Best Piano, strings woodwind sounds
Sibelius 6.2 is now very, very old and no longer supported by Avid. Also it will not work on any mac. However, if you want better sounds, you should go for something like NotePerformer. The sound quality is generally much higher, but both the price and the footprint on your computer are much lower. ...

Re: Add bars to top of existing score
Andy is correct. [Ctrl]b or [cmd]b will add a bar at the end of the score. [Ctrl][shift]b or [cmd][shift]b will add a bar after the current selection. If nothing is selected, it will load the cursor and you can add a new bar where you click. If this function doesn't work for you, then you have one o...

Re: Separate System on a Page
Sibelius's inability to do unusual things like this is one of its major weaknesses. However, that's the point. This is a very rare case that I haven't seen until now and I've been around for a very long time.

Re: Separate System on a Page
Much depends on whether there is more music on the next page. Andy's idea is a good one. If you really want to do this in sib, here's a plan. Create all the music, including the weird final bar Put a system break at the start if that bar. Turn off page justification (set justify page when to 100%) D...

Re: Out of Range error
Just check that your bassoon staff is really that.
Does the part play back at the correct pitch?
Make an instrument change to bassoon before the instrument name.
If this doesn't correct the issue, check that the notes aren't actually coloured (use the colour wheel on the Home tab).

Re: New Sibelius Ultimate can't see VSTs
Not sure I can help with your issue, except to say that it works here perfectly on win 11. I might consider uninstalling np4 completely, deleting the contents of the vst folder and then reinstalling it. Can you post images of your playback devices dialog and your audio engine options dialog? Also, m...

Re: Hiding notes on staves
You're welcome. That was going to be my next suggestion as I've just had a run-in with that rule. IMO, it needs to default to 'off'!

Re: Hiding notes on staves
Was spacing for hidden notes implemented in 2023.6? I think it may have been. In engraving rules, there is a setting to allow hidden notes to affect spacing.

Re: XML Import Error
Unfortunately, I'm in Swansea at the moment and, as the shirkers at avid haven't produced an android version yet, I can't access sibelius right now. I'll have another look on Monday. I'll be too knackered after the five hour drive back tomorrow. Off the top of my head, though, if there's a Yes butto...
