The Sibelius Forum

I have been manually transcribing the piano part to a Haydn Oboe Concerto, mostly for practice... both oboe practice and Sibelius practice. The problem is, at measure 265 the bass line just drops out and nothing I try fixes it... including cutting and pasting into a new score, changing instruments, removing several lines and retyping... that last one is really weird... if I type in something entirely new, it works, but if I type what is supposed to be there, it just doesn't play. Incidentally, manually stepping through the bass line produces sound.
Ah.... just tried something that worked.... its a problem in Sibelius Sounds. General MIDI piano seems to work just fine. Go figure.
If anyone else has seen this issue let me know. I am using a brand new MacBook Pro with 64gb RAM, 4tb ssd and an i9 processor.. so I don't think its the hardware.
Cheers

If the sample library doesn't go that low you won't get a sound. MIDI has a pretty much unlimited range because it doesn't rely on samples.

I'd assume that the samples for a Grand Piano patch would run all the way down to the lowest A, though.

From the symptoms you describe and the fact that the notes will play if you click to step through them or write them in again differently, this is something to do with this particular score. Corrupted somehow?

That's always possible. See if any earlier versions exist in your Backup scores folder. The smaller the number the longer ago it was saved. You might be able to recover it.
