Hi,

I have a new MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019) on MacOs Big Sur and I've been experiencing some issues with the touch bar that I can't seem to find any information about on the web. One of them occurs when I run Sibelius. I have the option on show "App Controls" by default selected in my preferences, but for some reason in Sibelius I only see the function keys as if the fn key was pressed, and I have to press the fn key to see the control strip. It's kind of annoying since I often have to control the volume, especially in a music notation software!

Thank you,

William

Only later versions of Sibelius (2012.6 and later) are compatible with Big Sur. If you're running an earlier version you'll have to update/upgrade if you want to carry on using Big Sur.
