Re: Mysterious Sound Change

Jonas, can you postthe file or email it to me at mike@mike-lyons.co.uk. There's no way to diagnose this without an actual file.

Re: no sound on note entry only.

I absolutely agree with Andy's comment. Also, note that this is APPLE's fault, not Sibelius'. Windows 10 will still run versions 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8.

Re: Problem with Printing Parts Sib 8.1

Printing can go strange if you give a a stern look! I recently installed an extender for my Wi-Fi which resulted in me having to reinstall all my printer drivers (I have 4 different printers) The machine that I print most things from isn't even connected to the extender!

Re: Can't Overwrite Existing MP3 Files

Make absolutely sure that the mp3 isn't open in another application when you are trying to over-write it. If there has been some corruption of the file (can happen to anyone) try deleting the specific mp3 using your OS (Windows/MacOS). If it won't do it that way, try a restart of your machine to mak...

Re: Sibelius automatically changes lyric "go" to GDim. How do I make it stop?

So what version of Sib and what is your OS? If you are on anything earlier than Sib 2020.6 and Big Sur then your text input will throw up all sorts of stupid. This is not Sib's fault, this is entirely down to Apple [spit]!

Re: No Dynamics Plugin

1. NotePerformer works perfectly well with all versions of Sibelius (I have it running with both 7.5 and 6.2 on Windows 10 2. If you have bought Sibelius, after having had Sibelius 7.x, you have seriously downgraded. Sibelius 2021.2 is the equivalent of the old Sibelius|First, which has extremely li...

Re: Problem with Printing Parts Sib 8.1

Until recently I have no problems printing parts on Sibelius. However now I have theses problems. 1. The Instrument Name in the top left hand corner is in a faint red instead of black. It is orange because it is in a slightly different place in the part than in the score 2. The hidden Instrument na...

I let it go overnight, with my sleep setting set to "never". (I mean the PC power setting, not my own. I slept like a baby. :lol: )
I'm jealous. Not sleeping well at the moment. Glad it's sorted.

Re: Latency settings, and configuration options

Yeah. My advice, make yourself a meal, have a brew and watch a bit of telly. I have a superfast broadband and it was about 3 hours on that. Make sure your machine doesn't sleep or hibernate while the download process is going on or you will end up with a corrupted file.

Re: Latency settings, and configuration options

I just cross-graded from Sibelius to Ultimate, and also installed Noteperformer. I'm on Windows 10. I have two questions: 1. I'm getting a small amount of latency when inputting notes (from a midi keyboard, or the PC keyboard). I've found I can reduce this in various ways, I'm just wondering what i...

Re: Printing Names of individual parts

Check the top left corner of the score. Show hidden objects and see if there is a piece of text there that looks like this: Full Score It may be grey (because it is hidden in the score), If it isn't there, in the score, rt-click, text-->Special text-->Instrument name at top left then type EXACTLY $\...

Re: Activation Conundrum

TBF, maybe because I've been a user for so long and I have always updated my software as soon as it comes out, I have only once had an activation problem. I think that I have also kept up my perpetual licence and support plan so I've never had to try to reinstate it. Looking back over the years I've...
