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...

Re: XML Import Error

It happens a lot. Just ignore the error by clicking OK and it will continue processing the file.

Re: Aligning 1st and 2nd endings

These shortcuts are for windows [ctrl]a =select all [Ctrl][shift] n = reset note spacing [ctrl][shift]p = reset position. (This is the one that should reset the positions of lines.) I also turn off all sibelius auto formatting in all parts (parts-->part formatting-->all parts). Reset space above and...

Re: Aligning 1st and 2nd endings

I don't know what version of sib you are on, but sib 7 was particubad for this. I got into the habit of pressing [ctrl]a, [ctrl][shift]n, [ctrl][shift]p. Every time I open a part. Then I would go through and make sure any voltage lines were aligned. Changes in the score would very often result in th...

Re: Delta symbol/triangle for major 7th chords

If you want the delta for all your maj7ths, go Appearance-->Engraving Rules-->Chord Symbols
Play around to your heart's content with the choices available.

Re: Undesired Tremolo on playback (not on exported audio)

You can't attach sib files to this board directly. If you zip the file, it will attach. All files of any type must be less than 1M in size.

Re: How to shift a note from one piano staff to the other

AFAIK, this should work in Sib First. Look in the manual (press F1 with a file open) it's a fully searchable pdf and has a list of keyboard shortcuts for both Mac and pc near the back.
In my ultimate version, it's on page 762

Re: Center Rests in Stave

Initially, select the measure(s) and type [ctrl][shift]p (reset position).

If that doesn't work, look at the engraving rules for rests. Change the selections (shown boxed in the attached.)

Re: using sib. without internet

I believe you can do this, but you have to 'check-in" once a month. I'm not sure what the exact procedure is, but there is a help article here: https://avidtech.my.salesforce-sites.co ... -Licensing

Re: Midi output

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

If the keyboard shows up in input devices in sibelius when connected by Bluetooth, then technically it should be able to be used. However, Bluetooth is notoriously laggy and you may well find it impossible to use for input. I'd stick to wired connection.

Re: Midi output

Sibelius can only address one output device at a time. Make sure your bluetooth speakers are selected in audio engine options.
