In some parts of my composition, the flute part starts to trill when there is no trill indicated, and in other parts, the flute staccatos when a slur is indicated.

To track down this problem, I have done the following:
1) Changed the Audio engine, but this made no difference.
2) Deleted the whole bars giving problems, and re-entered them, but this made no difference.
3) Changed Sibelius Player from Flute 1 to Flute 2, but this made no difference.
4) Placed a trill on the note prior to the trill problem, and then removed it, but this made no difference.

What is going on? Can anyone assist here? I have never met this problem before.

Copy and paste the entire flute part into a new flute only score. If the new score plays properly, delete the flute from the original score and copy the second flute line back into the original score. This works, sometimes, when some kind of corruption happens.
There's no understanding flute players :)

There is a known issue with trills.If there is a trill earlier in the part, it is possible for random trills to play in later measures. Try putting a hidden ~nat. after any previous trill which sometimes works.
