Sound ID Only applying to one bar

'Sound ID' and other variants didn't yield anything in a forum search so:


The sound ID typed on to the score here will only apply for one bar. There is no sound produced In bar 7 for the semiquavers.

I'm using two slots in Kontakt. Two slots of Spitfire. The CC messages are working fine in changing articulations in one slot and the midi channel change is also working great to move to the second channel in Kontakt. But if I want sound on the bar of semi quavers here I have to add the Sound ID text again. Obviously having to do this for every bar is not going to work for me. I don't want to get into any messy workarounds involving multiple staffs etc.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Did you select the passage you wanted the change to take affect in? Or just that measure?

An explanation of what you are actually trying to do would be very helpful.

The problem might be the tie. It's not necessary given you have already specified legato in the sound ID. What happens is that when the tie ends, Sibelius may be switching back to the sound ID that was active before the tie. Remove the tie and the legato marking should be more sticky.
