    Then there's probably an error in your set up. In order to help you I will need a detailed description of your Playback Configuration (loaded sound set, Manual Sound Sets page), the exact name of the Sibelius instruments you are using, and the VI matrices or presets you have loaded.

    Please also write down what you have already tried.

    Best,

    Ok, the instruments listed in the Sibelius score are flute, oboe, bass clarinet in Bb, viola and contrabass. The playback configuration is as follows: Active device is the Vienna Ensemble VST with the sound set of VE Special Edition plus. Sound sets are wind.flutes.flute, wind oboes.oboe, wind.clarinets.bass, strings.viola and strings.contrabass. I am running a Mac Pro with 10.8.0 and Sibelius 6.

    Also the matrices from VI not VI pro! Have the flute 1 matrix, french oboe matrix, bass clarinet, solo viola and solo bass.

    Which instruments do you use in your score? I am talking about the instruments you have chosen from the Sibelius instruments menu.

    Did you load the Special Edition or the Special Edition PLUS (with "+" at then end of the name) matrices?

    The instruments from sibelius that i chose were: Flute, Oboe, Bass Clarinet in Bb, Viola and Contrabass. And yes I am using the matrices with the '+' sign after them.

    Was I supposed to use the 'Solo Viola' and 'Solo Contrabass' instruments from the Sibelius instrument page?

    Yes, the Solo Strings programs on the Manual Sound Sets page only work correctly with the Solo Strings Sibelius instruments.

    So is that the problem? How do I switch instruments without losing my whole score?

    You're welcome. [:)]
    You can simply add the new instruments and then cut and paste the content from the old staves to the new ones.
