Problems with printing on Classic Mac OS have been solved.New plug-ins, including Remove All Highlights.A new NIFF file converter, developed in conjunction with user Norman Reid (Windows only).all objects must be placed with the mouse rather than automatically being created near to the current selection) A new option allows object creation to behave like Sibelius v1.x (i.e.
General speed increases Sibelius 2.1 is typically noticeably faster than Sibelius 2.0, and in particular lyric input is now considerably faster.An improved Mixer window, which now allows you to change the settings for up to eight staves at once, and which has a number of other improvements.

Sibelius 2.11 is a free update for existing Sibelius 2.0 (and 2.1) users. This was supposed to have been fixed, but if after all of the above you are still having problems, I recommend you contact Avid Tech Support.Sibelius 2.11 for Mac and Windows Improvements and changes
There was a documented issue with Sibelius 7.1.x for Mac only where playback would hit the wall at 28 staves w/ many different articulations per instrument, each one using up a channel. What looks like two quarter notes in succession may actually be overlapping notes which can eat up available voices. If you have Live Playback incorporated, try selecting the bars or regions that are problematic and turn off Live Playback for start time and duration to see if this restores playback for the problem area. Use the Mute button on these mixer channels so they aren’t stealing voices.įinally, it’s worth taking a look at whether Live Playback could be a factor in voice stealing. For these scores, I need to make sure that the staves which are not visible in the score, but are available for the parts are not also playing back. I often prepare my Sibelius scores with additional separate parts staves, which brings an additional consideration into the mix (pun intended). When using Sibelius Player by itself, I’ve had good luck with not trying to manually allocate the sounds to specific channels etc, but rather, let the program sort out the voice allocation automatically (although in your case, it sounds like that may not be working for you): In addition, you can mix and match other sound sets with Sibelius Player, for instance, to combine a GM sound set, NotePerformer and Sibelius Player all active at once: If you are using a third party VST or AU plugin for sounds such as NotePerformer (in Sibelius’s PLAY>SETUP), you can add as many iterations of the sound set as your computer will keep up with: On my hard drive, the Sibelius 7 Samples folder is 36.85 GB (installed from 4 DVDs). Perhaps obvious, but I would also check to make sure that the complete Sibelius Sounds library was installed. Check Preferences > Playback > Sibelius Player Options to make sure this hasn’t been inadvertently changed to a lower value: This shouldn’t be a problem, though, since the Sibelius Player supports up to 128 channels. Regardless of whether you are using the Sibelius 7 Sounds, Sibelius 7 sounds (light) or Sibelius 6 sounds, only one iteration of the Sibelius Player can be included as a sound set. Or, do others not experience this? Is there something else happening that’s causing the notes to cut off? My question is whether there is a quick work around for this, or do people generally custom-route their instruments to channels in a way that avoids conflicting notes (i.e., pair bass instruments with treble – but then might you encounter key-switch conflicts when you export to a DAW for mockup? – so perhaps pair instruments that share similar rhythms and would therefore have similar note-off times if they do happen to cross)? (To date, I’ve been using the channels that Sibelius automatically assigns to each instrument – maybe that’s my mistake). (For example, a harp arpeggio might cut off a sustained choral note on the same channel). My guess has been that given the number of midi channels available, multiple instruments are placed on each channel, and instruments on the same channel occasionally play the same note – and the note-off signal from one instrument is cutting off both/all of those unison notes. This is especially a problem with larger scores (30+ instruments). When playing back scores in Sibelius 7.5, I frequently have notes cut off suddenly throughout a score.
Seattle composer Bill Panks posted this question about missing notes during Sibelius score playback on the Seattle Composer’s Alliance Discussion email list, which I thought I would share here:
