pedal mark functions unclear - end of pedal mark skipped
Posted: Mon Jul 16, 2018 3:08 am
Hello!
I recently input a piece into sibelius that contains pedal marks. Sibelius played them correctly
until I plugged in a VST: Synthogy Ivory. The playback became incorrect - and pedal 'offs' became ignored.
The sound of the pedal ons from both measures overlaps.
I tried two other VSTs that reacted the same.
I discovered that Even if two pedals are not overlapping, the playback is wrong. There is no clear area which
signifies the necessary end of the pedal mark to avoid overlapping.
(I have tried using the different types of pedals - all respond equally)
I have attached pictures of each example
all of the same file, but slightly different placement of the pedal ending. Problem is from m. 1 - 2.
Sample 1. End of pedal touches end of measure; playback Fails. (Pedal is not lifted before m. 2 and sound is mushy)
Sample 2. End of pedal is slightly before the end of the sextuplet; playback Fails.
Sample 3. End of pedal is even more before the end of the sextuplet; playback Succeeds, but sounds
akward; The pedal is not held until the end of the measure and gets off an eigth note early.
I have tried putting the pedal on the lower staff
I have tried different combinations of pedals - Their function is still unclear as they
also have their own strange behaviors - non allow me to bring the pedal to the end of the measure,
so the end of the measure suddenly sounds dry.
Play back only succeeds on the 3rd sample; pedal playback sound does not overlap.
Why does this happen?
How can I have a pedal sound until the end of a measure yet not overlap?
Can I do something so Sibelius would correct overlapping pedals?
Is there a guide describing the workflow of the different pedal lines?
Thanks for your help!
