After upgrading from an old EMU Orchestral plus to a Yamaha P255, I am unable to get my score to play back on my keyboard. How can I change this option?

Thanks,
Rick

Assuming the piano is plugged in and that Sibelius has recognised it, set up a new Playback Configuration using the piano as the playback device.

Getting Sibelius to use the various voices on the piano may need a manual soundset, check your piano's documentation for how it handles Bank Select and Programme Change messages for those details and then the Sibelius Reference for advice on manual soundsets. It's possible that the piano will work with Sibelius's General MIDI soundset.

Thanks Andy.

I had to update the drivers for the keyboard. Was able to add a new configuration and everything from the sound perspective is working.

Have a great day.

Rick
