  • Strange behaviour on playback

    After leaving a project in Sibelius for a couple of weeks, which was playing back perfectly, I have re-opened it, and now the playback is incorrect: e.g. slurs over three quavers now playing as 2 slurred and 1 staccato, and staccato on random crotchets. Very odd, as I hadn't made any changes.

    Best wishes

  • Additional information. It is for a String Quartet, and if I solo a part it plays back correctly, but when all parts are playing it changes how it plays back.

  • Hello Philip!

    If neither your score, nor the playback configurations, nor the Sibelius version has been changed, the playback must have been incorrect a couple of weeks ago as well.
    It can have different reasons why articulation changes don't work correctly. Maybe the Troubleshooting chapter of our Sibelius Integration manual can help.

  • Hi Andi

    All I can say is that it was playing exactly as it should two weeks ago. I am having problems with the license usb sticks, and perhaps this could be messing things up, though not sure why. I had problems before and I was advised to go to an earlier version of eLicenser Control (6.11.9.2258). Should I try upgrading to the most recent version now?

    Also, the troubleshooting guide doesn't mention solo strings, which is what I am using. What instrument choice should I be using in Sibelius to use with Solo Strings?

  • Hi Andi

    I have upgraded to the most recent eLicenser Centre, without success. I am using Solo Violin etc with the Solo Strings. I can't see what the cause of the problem is!

    Regards

  • Hello Philip!

    An eLicenser problem has nothing to do with Sibelius playback problems. These things are unrelated. If you have problems with your eLicenser key, please write an e-mail to support@vsl.co.at. A detailed description of what's going on exactly and screenshots will help us to help you.

    Which Sibelius instruments to choose for the "VE Strings" sound set is written here:

    If you need more help, please send the following screenshots and a reference to this thread to support@vsl.co.at.
