Hello: I'm using current versions of both Vienna Ensemble 5 and Vienna Instruments Pro, with Sibliues 7 as my sequencer and Windows 8. I've made many changes to an existing set of matrixes, but when I reload them by restarting both VE and Sibelius the changes are not found.
To clarify: I start VE by right-clicking the VE icon in the Windows taskbar and choosing my current project by selecting it from the Windows jump list. VE loads and at this point my changes are visible. However, when I open my Sibelius project by right-clicking the Sibelius taskbar icon and choosing its project from the jump list, it seems that each instance of VE is reoloaded and it is at this point that my changes are lost. I can get the changes back again by going into each instance of VE reloading it from the saved disk copy, as long as I remember to do this before saving over it.
I've tried a variation on the load sequence to see if it made a difference: I tried loading VE without specifying a project and then launching the Sibelius project. Each instance of VE is loaded but without recent changes, so no difference.
Another possibly related nuisance: when Sibelius starts the VE windows lose both their saved position and size.
It's possible that some changes are retained, such as adding an instrument, while others are consistently lost, such as adding a new matrix to an existing instrument or adding humanize data. I'd have to do more testing to come up with a list of what's retained and what isn't.
Has anyone else had this or a similar problem? It's a significant nuisance. Thanks for your assistance.
