Sibelius Version: 8.6

Hi,

Looks like my copy of perpertual license Sibelius 8.6 academic won't work properly on the new M1 Macbook. It opens and runs but there are problems with playback + chord entry and lyric entry at least. Does anyone know if support is likely or of any hacks to get it working? I don't really want to shell out to "upgrade" and am thinking about jumping ship to ... well you know what's out there! One of them.

Andrew,

No version of Sib before 2020.12 will work properly on Mac OS Big Sur. Don't blame Sibelius, blame Apple.
Sib 6.2, 7.5 and 2023.6, Windows 11, 32GB RAM, 16TB 7200RPM Storage, 2TB SSD, Note Performer 3.3.2, EWQLSO, EWQLSC, Harmony Assistant and some others. mike@mike-lyons.co.uk
