Hi - I'm using the latest version of Sibelius with Sibelius Sounds, and I've just installed Noteperformer. Now, when I make an edit to a piece, even saving it as a different title (Revision), and whether I use the Sibelius or NotePerformer sounds, I'm unable to overwrite the existing MP3. I continually get the original MP3, not the edited one. The only work-around I've found is to save it as a .wav, and convert that into an MP3. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any advice...

Make absolutely sure that the mp3 isn't open in another application when you are trying to over-write it. If there has been some corruption of the file (can happen to anyone) try deleting the specific mp3 using your OS (Windows/MacOS).

If it won't do it that way, try a restart of your machine to make sure all handles to the file are closed and try again.
