  • Sibelius 7.5 and VSL

    Hi 

    I use Sibelius with VSL and recently having a lot of trouble. The main problem is that the articulations being pulled up are not consistent with the notation, and also over time. First off, I make sure that the correct soundsets are loaded and the Vienna house style is also selected.

    The issue is that the same note may play with different articulations depending on where I start the playback. If I start from the middle of a score, a legato slur often pulls into a trill, annoyingly! and quite often a staccato triggered for a note that is inside a slur. I often need to start playback from the beginning of the score for the right aritculations to be played back, but even if I do, some notes are still played wrongly.

    What is weird is that the same note can be played with the correct or wrong articulation, almost randomly. 

    I noticed this problem only recently. To solve this issue I was thinking of creating a brand new playback configuration and doing everything from scratch. 

    But please let me know if anyone (usually its Andi who promptly comes to the rescue!) has insights into what could be going on. 

    Thanks in advance!

  • Hello Anand!

    Such a problem can have different reasons. Most likely it comes from an error somewhere in your setup. Please check the Troubleshooting chapter of the "Optimizing SIbelius Playback" manual. For most such problems you can find a solution there.

  • Thanks Andi. This gives me hope that this is because of a mistake in my setup. The manual is very detailed and I should make better use of it. Will let you know if I still have problems after troubleshooting....unlikely... Best Anand
