Sibelius Version: Ultimate 2023-11
Operating System: Mac

Hello,

is there any way to tell Sibelius Ultimate 2022-3 that the Sibelius Sounds are already on an external drive? This is after having installed Sibelius on a different system drive on the same machine (Mac Pro5,1).
Or is it necessary to re-install all 36GB of sounds in the "proper" location (Library etc...) and then move those again to the external drive?
I'm sure there must be a preference setting or plist but I trashed all of them already (I think).

Any help much appreciated, thanks!

Pete

I don't know how a mac works, but on a PC the installation includes the addition of a registry key with the location of the sound library. However, if you want my advice, I'd get NotePerformer instead. It's cheap and works well out of the box.
