Sibelius Version: Ultimate 2024
Operating System: Mac

I am using the brand new version of Sibelius Ultimate, correctly updated. MacStudio computer M1 processor running Mac Os Ventura.
I have just composed a piece for solo guitar, about 7 pages, there are time signatures changes, 32nd notes, triplets, etc., in short a relatively complex writing. Unfortunately Sibelius is unable to read this score correctly.
During the first few measures, it plays correctly, then little by little it starts to slow down more and more and finally does not move forward at all...
I tried to lighten the guitar sound used by using the Sibelius light instrument bank, no change. I completely uninstalled Sibelius then reinstalled properly. Nothing has changed. I would be very grateful if someone can help me find a solution.

The first thing to do would be to send the file to someone else to make sure it's not something peculiar to your set-up and to give them the opportunity to check that there's not some instruction or other that is causing this.

You can't post sib files here directly, but if you zip the file, it can be attached. Alternatively, you could email it to me at the address in my signature and i'd be happy to have a look for you.
