I have a Roland MT-90U Music Player, and am using it to practice piano pieces I have transcribed with Sibelius 6 and saved as midi files.

The manual for the music player says that it has the capacity to play channels separately, and there are buttons to press for right hand or left hand channels.

But when I save the Sibelius file as a midi file so far as I can tell it saves all the music as one channel, not separated at all.

Is there a way to get Sibelius to save a piano piece so that it saves the right hand to one channel and the left hand to another channel?
Regards, Alex

Make sure you have 'Use same slot for all staves of keyboard instruments' on the Playback page of Preferences switched off.
