Sib. 6.0: ReWire and Ableton Live 7 or 8

I may leave my wife and family for this version of Sibelius!!! Congrats, guys!

Quick question... How do I tell Ableton Live about the new kid on the ReWire block? Reason and Acid Pro show up without any prompting...

If you're using the demo version, try clicking the 'Repair' button in Audio Engine Options in Play > Playback Devices, then quit and restart both applications.

We've not actually tried ReWire with Ableton Live, but I would guess that it would work.

I've just managed to get this working. My procedure was almost the same as described in the manual. The Sibelius 6 Reference manual states (on page 351):

run the mixer application first, add a stereo audio or aux channel, then load Sibelius as a multi-
channel ReWire instrument. The mixer application then automatically launches Sibelius, which
starts up in a special ReWire mode, whereby all audio playback is routed to the mixer application
rather than to your soundcard.

The main difference is that after you add Sibelius in the Audio track's "Audio From" popdown, LIVE will not automatically start Sibelius. So you have to do it yourself. The most important step is to ensure you select Sibelius in LIVE before you launch Sibelius.
