Hi
I created a new project (lead sheet template), typed in the melody notes and added the chords, but when I hit play, there is only a voice singing the notes, with no chords playing.
So I went back to the instrument input to add piano, Moved it overtop of the voice, but then all my work disappeared and it showed a new setof blank piano staves.
Chords Not Playing
1. Sibelius will not playback chord symbols. If you want the chords to play, either write them in for real on a (hidden) staff or use the plugin "Realize chord symbols"
2 You probably either pressed w with the piano part selected or you have otherwise opened the piano part. Look at the tabs on the top of the music and see if one says just piano and the other says Full Score. You swap between them by pressing [ctrl/cmd]# (having first pressed w to open whichever part is currently active (contains a selection).
