Personally, the lack of this feature is the only reason that I haven't given up using Sibelius. Hopefully this feature can be pushed close to the top of the priority list. Currently it is difficult to sketch block or chorale based harmony within a section. In Sibelius, there are several capabilities...

Hi alexg, The Double Bass Octave Down question is solved like this: 1. Go to Score Setup 2. Click the Gear Wheel on the Double Bass staff 3. In the Staff Settings dialogue box, click Notation/Tab 4. You will see a Transposition Section in this window. Change Notated C sounds = C One Octave Lower in...

Here is the plugin ID for the Vienna Ensemble Pro Event Input: 1986359397 -Admin Which file do I edit with this information? I've managed to setup a large VE Pro Instance with over 50 instruments using 4 x Event Inputs but dynamics aren't working nor can I assign instruments to play an octave lower...

Hi Alex If a single long sutained note is involved, I suggest to break it into smaller value tied ones and to attach the proper dynamics to the point you need and join dynamics signs with hairpins. Reaching a sforzando effect is partly a matter of the sound library you work with. Eg., with GPO I se...

Hi all,

Has anyone figured out a strategy to simulate during playback a sforzando (sfz) immediately followed by piano (p) and then a crescendo (<) to fortissimo (ff)?

Page 157 of the user manual confirms that sfz does not playback but someone might have a clever solution.

Thanks,
Alex

Brian from Notion helped me out on this one. The problem was solved by deleting everything in my Notion 4 directory (except the sounds folder) and re-installing the latest build (320). To clarify the original problem, there is a known issue with VSL timpani (and some other percussion articulations) ...

Hi, Can someone please verify whether they can get the timpani roll (tremolo) and staccato to work with VSL SE? If I open up VI Pro (ctrl+I) I can see 3 keyswitches for hit, secco and roll but the latter two are not being triggered. I've tried using various shortcuts e.g. 'trem does not trigger the ...

You need to purchase the string expansion libraries to get minor 3rd, major 3rd and perfect 4th tremolos. I'm not sure about other sections.

If you add the glock to a new file created using the full orchestra template it is not transposed i.e. it sounds as written(which is not correct). If you add the glock to a blank file it sounds two octaves above what is written (which is correct). I have not tested any other templates but this is a ...

I purchased the original VSL SE (& plus & extended) which is now called volumes 1 & 2. The instruments and articulations are identical in both cases but perhaps reside in different directories. Will Notion 4 recognize this fact or do I have to download volumes 1 & 2 again from VSL? R...
