Re: Parts Don't Stay With File

When you press w you are NOT creating a new part. You are opening a part which already exists within the file. If you have created a new part containing multiple staves, that wil be there. Press [ctrl]# until it shows up. Alternatively, under the plus sign on the RHS of the score window, there is a ...

Re: Parts Don't Stay With File

What happens if you select a staff and press w after opening the file?

Parts are dynamic. they are part of the main file. Unless you have set pteferences in Files and Display, your part tabs won't be open when you load the file up in any machine.

Re: Glissando problems...

For something like this, you need to let us have a score (not an image) so we can investigate what is wrong. You also need to give us some information on your setup (OS, Version, Sib version and tier) and screenshots of Audio engine options and Playback Devices. You'll hgave to send it by email or P...

Re: Can't open Sibleius 7 on New Macbook Air

Yes. IIRC, Sib 7 itself has a 64 bit version, but the sound library installer and the Avid Sibelius installer are both incompatible with Catalina and any later Mac OS. I would say buy the whole software new. Avid have recently (2020) stopped supporting the 'refreshing' of perpetual licenses, so you ...

Re: Can't open Sibleius 7 on New Macbook Air

This is NOT sibelius' problem. Apple decided to make Catalina incompatible with 32 bit applications. The authorisation software used by Sib 7 (Avid Licence control) is 32 bit (as is the VST library of Sib 7 sounds) and will NOT work with Catalina. I say again that this is NOT a Sibelius problem. If ...

Re: Importing a Sibelius file into Logic

Export as MIDI from sib and import that into Logic. Before you export, it night be an idea to use the Transform Live Playback dialog to ensure the notes actually match the MIDI data exactly - especially if you have played in the notes.

Re: Ultimate on second computer

You can install Sibelius on as many computers as you like, but you can only have 2 licenses active at any one time.
