I have many scores I have created with drum tracks, and they have always played back and also exported just fine. Now, however, I can get no drum playback at all, with any drum set. Old scores that used to play just fine won't play. Other instruments play back just fine. I've looked everywhere and can find no reason for this. Again, it is only drums that are a problem. I have Sibelius sounds and am working in Sibelius 7.13

You need to send us a file that displays this issue. It doesn't have to be one of your worlking files - or it could be just a section of a few bars with drums.

I tried to upload a sample, but I get a notice that the extension sib is not allowed. ??? Surely you don't want just a pdf?

On the official Sibelius forum - http://www.sibelius.com/cgi-bin/helpcen ... ?groupid=3 - we often ask people to attach the Sibelius file or part of it so we can look at what's causing the problem. As you've correctly surmised, attaching an image is a bit like showing your garage a photo of your car and saying 'It's not working, what's wrong?' :)

As you've found, you can't attach Sibelius files files here, so all we could do is guess and that wouldn't help.

Try asking at the official forum and attach the Sibelius file - make sure it's less than 1MB in size.

I was thinking more in terms of sending me a file by email or PM.
