Help!!
Audio is great on all counts as far as I can tell, but no sound on note entry only. However Post entry, I can click the new note just entered and it sounds.

I get sound when I enter notes from keyboard, but not the mouse and keypad!!
And once the note is in, I can enter intervals harmonically with the keyboard, using the numbers at the top of the keyboard.

What's up with that?
:(

Sibelius 8.3 is incompatible with Big Sur.

You'll find all sorts of issues will rear their heads. :(

Three options:

1) Update to the latest version of Sibelius Ultimate (NOT plain Sibelius, which is a massive downgrade)
2) go back to a Mac OS before Big Sur
3) Switch to a Windows PC, which will let you run earlier Sibelius versions, as far back as V6 and possibly even further!

I guess you'll opt for 1), but this could be rather expensive.

I absolutely agree with Andy's comment. Also, note that this is APPLE's fault, not Sibelius'. Windows 10 will still run versions 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8.
