I have upgraded from Sibelius 6 to 7. Using Mac OS 10.6.8. I can't input more than a few changes before the dreaded Mac spinning beach ball comes up and spins perpetually. The only way I can get out is to force quit, losing changes. Is this a Sibelius 7 issue? Is it incompatible with Mac Snow Leopard? Should I upgrade to Lion? I'm finishing up a musical play on a deadline and this has halted progress!

Thanks,

P.S.: I just made a minor change and performed a "Save As," and it's spinning. So it appears to be a problem with saving, or possibly auto-saving.
