I'm attempting to write a marching drumline cadence, and the program says that in Sibelius 7 they have 'a selection of sounds from the brand new Rumble and Fanfare libraries from Sample Logic.' I even listened to a sample cadence made in Sibelius 7, and the sounds are exactly what I was looking for. The problem is that when I try to make a cadence and input notes, the sounds are not like marching drumline sounds at all; for example, the snare sounds like a concert snare and so on. As I understood, the demo should include everything the full version does for the 30 days (and I just got it today). I selected several different kinds of scores such as "Drum corps, battery", "Percussion corps 1", etc. under Marching Band and Percussion and they are all wrong. Do you know what I have to do to select the right sounds? I used Sibelius 6 for a while, but am not yet familiar with all the aspects of Sibelius 7, so if you have a step by step way of selecting the correct sounds, that would be more than appreciated. Thanks in advance!

You did also download and install the separate Sibelius Sounds library, didn't you? And, if so, you did set up your scores to a configuration that uses that library?

Yes, I updated the Sibelius 7 Sounds, now I just do not know where to find them in order to use them. I have the playback configured to Sibelius 7 Sounds, but now there are no sounds from any of the notes and I do not know how to change this.
