The Sibelius Forum

I'm posting this on behalf of a friend. He has recently installed Sibelius 5 on his computer (Windows Vista) along with Sounds Essentials. Kontakt Player is set as the active playback device and set to use the Sounds Essentials sound set. When he presses the playback button, there is no sound. I've ...

When composing in percussion battery score, which type of notehead do I have to use in order to get a cymbal "sizzle" sound or the real term "spyder"? What other noteheads work for cymbal sounds? Hi hat chicks? etc.?
Thanks

I'd assumed not. For some reason my Mac wouldn't recognize the CD at all. After getting fed up with running Boot Camp and Fusion for Sibelius, I ended up just buying Sibelius 5 at PASIC and it seems to be working seemlessly. Thanks for the reply.

When in Photoscore, I pressed the "scan in pages" button and get an error message stating that Photoscore cannot access my scanner? What is the solution for this? Anyone had a problem similiar to this before?
Thanks!

I recently purchased Sibelius 5. I have installed it, along with Sibelius Sounds Essentials, Photoscore, and Kontakt Player. When I go to the device menu under "play/playback devices" Kontakt Player does not show up as a device? How do I get Kontakt Player to load? I've checked my plug-ins and I bel...

I bought Sibelius 4 a while back for my windows PC. I recently switched to a Mac operating system and was just wondering if there were any known patches or any types of conversions to transfer my Sibelius and make it run on my mac before I have to go out and buy it again for a Mac platform. Please h...

After hours of losing sleep and snooping around my internal system, I managed to discover that the problem was merely simple. In my soundboard, I had the SW Synth muted.. I guess that'll do it every time huh? haha. Thanks for the views!

I have sibelius 4 installed and have been using it for the last year or so without any problems. The other day, I went to play back a score I wrote and got nothing in return. The cursor moves across the screen, but no sound comes back. I went on Sibelius' site for help and found my problem remedy, b...

I've been using Sibelius 3.1 for a while now and still can't figure out how to note buzz rolls. Rim shot I figured out (under noteheads) but I can't get them to sound like rim shots. They sound like whistles. It would be nice to have something like a click or anything in that area. Please help!

Zap I would appreciate it very much if you would just completely disregard that message i just sent... thanks to you I was able to find all and do all and get everything straightened out. I can't say "thank you" enough. Thank you for your time.

Yearbook.

Zap, I can't thank you enough, but how stupid I feel. I can't seem to find my instruction manual at the moment as well as where to find the channel settings on the program. I just had them up a minute or two before you're reply and can't remember where...

I'm a new user to Sibelius and using it to compose music for my highschool's drumline in the Drumcorps/Battery score. However, when I hit playback, the notes that are played are NOT drum sounding at all. They sound more like saxophones or french horns. I'm thinking the sound files aren't in the righ...
