Hi,
My sibelius switched between some mordents and their inverted versions. I can edit them manually, but I have to do this for every project. Is there a way to fix this permanently?

thanks

Yup, seems to be backwards in 7.5.1 also. I wonder if it's a mistake or just a British thing.
It might take some doing, but you should be able to edit the symbols or change their playback

Not a British thing, as far as I'm aware! :)

Yes, they're the wrong way round as far back as 7.1.3 (can't tell in 6.2 as they aren't described in words) but does it actually make a difference to you as far as the score goes? You know what symbol you want to place and select it by looking at it rather than reading the description. Or is it playback that you're more concerned with? In which case Bob's advice on editing

Thanks. I do edit the symbol, it's easy but frustrating to do it all the time.

Seems to me that since we are stuck with backward playback, it would be quicker to have duplicate scores. One for playback (mordents wrong) and one for musicians. You might be able to switch all the mordents at once. I often have two scores. One to get Sibelius to play the way I want.
