I can't help you with this one. There are only two other people answering questions on this old unofficial site.
I'd recommend that you ask on the official site:

Re: lines freeze in a certain file
I've just checked. 2020.6 is not fully compatible with Monterey 12.1. Its compatibility ended with Big Sur 11. It may work to a point but you can expect to have odd issues of which this may well be one. Do what Mike has suggested and try starting something new to see if the problem persists. If it w...

Re: lines freeze in a certain file
Sounds like the usual Mac issue, where your version of Sibelius is no longer compatible with your Mac O/S. Have you updated your version of the O/S recently? If so, you may need to upgrade to the latest version of Sibelius Ultimate.

Re: New computer activation - Windows 11!
Win 11 will run older versions perfectly. Check what you have done. And make sure that things like audio drivers are up to date. DO NOT just take Windows' word for it - go to the manufacturer's website and update them from there! And if you're using Sibelius Sounds, make sure that you've downloaded,...

Re: New computer activation - Windows 11!
It's not been possible to automatically activate older versions of Sibelius for many years.

Re: Changing Tuplet Ratios & Groupings of existing notation
Importing MIDI files is often problematic. You'd almost certainly find it faster to simply re-input the notes as you want them. If you have lots of similar issues throughout the score, correct the first few, then copy and paste the correct tuplet groups and adjust the note pitches as required.

Re: Can't input lyrics and proceed to next note
Apple's updates to operating systems mean that your version of Sibelius 8.2 will never work properly. You have three options: 1) upgrade to the latest version of Sibelius Ultimate 2) revert to a much older Mac Operating System - if that's even possible for your Mac Mini M2 3) buy a Windows laptop an...

Re: Corrupted file help
And don't rely on any form of automatic backup, in any software! Manually back up your data to a separate drive, preferably an external one that you can disconnect when not in use, or to the cloud. And do so regularly. You can always reinstall an app or even an operating system. It's a pain if you h...

Re: Activation interruptions after moving to a new macbook pro
You can't 'move' Sibelius. First, I'm assuming that you're installing on Windows. If you're trying to install on a Mac, forget it. You would have to upgrade to the latest version of Sibelius Ultimate for that. You must perform a clean install of Sibelius, making sure you've erased any traces of a pr...

Re: Metronome Marking appears twice!
Mac or Windows? Operating system version? Version and tier of Sibelius being used? Any or all may have a bearing on this.

Re: Score Resize (after) Removing Instruments
I can't immediately help you on this. There are only 3 of us answering questions on this unofficial site and I don't know if the other two will know, so you should ask on the official Sibelius chat page.

Re: Sibelius 7 reinstall query
You can install from your disks with no problem - don't forget to download and install the update to 7.1.3 and the update to the 7.12 Sibelius Sounds library. You will not be able to deactivate Sibelius 7 or reactivate the new installation on line. You can raise a case with Avid support. Explain wha...

Re: how to change instrument playback
There is no such thing as Sibelius Free. I assume that you mean Sibelius First, the free to use version. This version is so cut down that it's almost useless. It's quite possible that the rename feature simply isn't in the free version. If so, a workaround would be to create a new staff with the des...

And if you're going to use Flexitime (best of luck with that!), then search on line for 'taming the Flexitime beast'. Best tutorial out there!

Re: odd playback issue
'...using MIDI...' Do you mean you want Sibelius to drive an external sound source, or a third party virtual instrument? Either way, you may need to set up a Soundset to make this work. And you may have to jiggle around the settings in the mixer so that Sibelius does choose and use the correct sounds.
