Feature suggestion:

Being able to export audio of the selected (marked in blue) bars. For example if the piece is 10 bars, and I mark in blue or purple bars 3-4, only bars 3-4 would be exported as audio.
Today I can only export the whole piece or from the playback line position.

PS
Is there any plug-in that offers this already?

Thank you

Yes, there's a plugin called (perhaps unsurprisingly) Export Selection As Audio in the Playback selection of plugins. Haven't used it so can't comment on how well it works (or not).

If you don't already have it you can install via Sibelius File > Plugins or manually by going to:

Great! I may well use it myself some time. It's a 'new feature' to me too, after 13 years of Sibelius, and still learning new things.
Amazing what pops up when you dig around!

I wish the "Export Each Staff As Audio" plug-in and the "Export Selection As Audio" plug-in could work together...

Well, I suppose you could ask Bob Zawalich if he could combine the two plugins. He wrote both and is still active on the 'official' Sibelius forum (you need to register if not already done so).
