So I have Kontakt happening inside Sibelius now - thanks for the advice so far.

What's happening now is when I select Kontakt as the playback configuration, I bring up the mixer and Kontakt sounds have already been loaded based on what instruments I have in my score - including an All Percussion instrument in slot 4 that I don't want for my current score. I don't have a drum/perc part in this score so not sure why it's being loaded automatically.

Is there a way to stop this percussion from loading? I can't get it to save my changes.

Notice how the All Percussion instrument is assigned to MIDI Channel 4 +GROUPS - how do I remove the groups from this assignment?

Thanks.

Could that be for the metronome click? You can, I think, turn it off in Sibelius. Try this setting.

That makes sense but the percussion slot still gets loaded even with that option unchecked.

It also plays back as though it has an instrument assigned to it; so along with every other track I get percussion playing every single note...
