Make sure you don't have Play > Live Playback switched on.

You'll need to contact technical support to do this. Go to http://www.sibelius.com/support

Check that you have 'Music text font' set to 'Opus Text' in House Style > Edit All Fonts.

Try switching off 'MIDI file uses this sound set' in the Open MIDI File dialog.

You can't change MIDI channels mid-way along the same staff in Sibelius, except by using an instrument change.

While you're inputting one bit of fingering text, hitting Space should move to the next rhythmic position, but not when you only have a bit of fingering text selected (i.e. coloured blue).

Switch off 'Use same slot for all staves of keyboard instruments' on the Playback page of Preferences to allow independent control of each staff via the Mixer.

You can't currently set the position of an object in the part to be its position in the score. Sibelius's workflow assumes that you work on the score first and then tidy up the parts.

Counter-intuitively, the best way to solve this is to reinstall Sibelius 4, then uninstall it again.

You need to check that the appropriate MIDI interface is enabled on the Input Devices page of Preferences.

You can't change channel with a Technique text message. It sounds like you should have the following sound IDs set up: Channel 1: strings.violin Channel 2: strings.violin.pizzicato Channel 3: strings.violin.spiccato Channel 4: strings.violin.vibrato Now you should find that "pizz.", "spicc" and "vib...

Make sure you have 'Use same slot for all staves of keyboard instruments' on the Playback page of Preferences switched off.

Jason already emailed me about this problem so I helped him that way, but in case anybody else sees this... The attached fonts.zip file contains updated versions of Opus.dfont and Reprise.dfont that fix this problem. Install these new versions on top of the existing ones in /Users/[your username]/Li...

I'm afraid you can't change the way that keyboard input works in G7 to make it more like Finale's Simple Entry tool.

I suggest you work your way through the tutorial at the beginning of your G7 User Guide to learn how to use G7's input method a bit more comfortably.

Open the Parts window (via Window > Parts), then click the 'New Part' button. You can then add both of your reed staves to the same part.
