Re: Sibelius Mixer Kontakt gets Ch2, Ch1 wrong, & Instruments
You won't get any different answers by asking the same questions! :( You could ask on the official Sibelius chat pages, but I fear that the answers will be just the same - ie. you need to write a soundset file. andyg What do you mean by 'ask on the official Sibelius chat pages'? That's what I thoug...

Sibelius Mixer Kontakt gets Ch2, Ch1 wrong, & Instruments
Why is using Kontakt VST's along with Sibelius so mysterious????????????????? Why isn't there a good step-by-step video that can solve this problem for so many users? I have had so much trouble using Kontakt with Sibelius. When I finally get Kontakt VST, (Kontakt.dll 64-bit) into Sibelius, I still h...

Re: Sibelius Mixer Kontakt gets Ch2, Ch1 wrong, & Instruments
As Mike said, you cannot work like that. Sibelius is in charge of the channels. You need to get, or create, a proper Soundset to get Sibelius to select the correct sounds and let Sibelius choose the channels. Mike and andyg Please indicate how I get, or create, a proper Soundset to get Sibelius to ...

Re: Sibelius Mixer Kontakt gets Ch2, Ch1 wrong, & Instruments
Mike Lyons I set the instrument and MIDI Channel number in Kontakt Player in accord with how instruments are laid out in the sheet music. Then, I go into the Sibelius Mixer and set the device, (Kontakt), and the soundest library Kontakt Player Selection Instrument e.g. horns. But the MIDI channels a...

Re: Export from Photoscore/Import into Sibelius causes key signature to change
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...

Re: Export from Photoscore/Import into Sibelius causes key signature to change
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. Mike Thank you for your comments. I have discovered that at the very end of the first movement, there was no k...

Export from Photoscore/Import into Sibelius causes key signature to change I have a composition where the second movement has changed key signature (from 4 sharps [C# minor]) from the first movement into no sharps [A minor] in the second movement. Neurotron Photoscore will read this correctly, but w...

Re: bar line numbers stop after second time repeat section
Your repeat structure is broken. You have used a continuation 1st time barline instead of the closed hook that is already built-in to sibelius. In the snippet you posted, there is also no indication if the repeat is started correctly. For instance, if there should be a : ||: type repeat bar and you...

bar line numbers stop after second time repeat section
I have a composition in Sibelius 8.1.1 where there is a repeat section (first and second times). Bar numbers are displayed up to the first repeat barline, but not after. Besides having no bar numbers after this point, shortcuts like 'y' to 'Move Playback Line to Selection' also do not work after the...

Flute trills or staccatos but no trill or staccato indicated
In some parts of my composition, the flute part starts to trill when there is no trill indicated, and in other parts, the flute staccatos when a slur is indicated. To track down this problem, I have done the following: 1) Changed the Audio engine, but this made no difference. 2) Deleted the whole ba...

Sibelius Page layout a mess after adding more instruments to
Sibelius Page layout a mess after adding more instruments to score. I have often wondered how best to space ledger lines if you intend to add more instruments to a score. I haven't yet figured it out, and have frequently made a mess of trying to space instrument to make room for more instruments. At...
