I just installed Sib 7.5 and it's registered. The program is working fine, but I can't save the files where I want. I can save the files in documents, but can't choose where in documents. I can also save to descboard, but not move them to another place.Has anyone else had this problem?
I am using OS X Yosemite.
Thank's! // Johan
This issue started with OS X Mavericks, and has continued into Yosemite. The operating system over-rides any default folder settings in the application. So you have to navigate to "Scores" every time you save. You are not obligated to save scores only in Documents or the Desktop, because you can navigate to your desired folder in the "Save as..." dialogue.

Sibelius 7.5.1/7.1.3/6.2/5.2.5, PhotoScore Ult 7.0.2, Dolet 6.3 for Sibelius, Windows 7 32-bit SP1 4GB, Windows 8.1 64-bit 16GB.
The options given is save to Dropbox, Program, Deskboard, recent places & Documents. Scores is not appearing as an alternative. I can't navigate in Documents to reach the scores files.
I would not expect "Scores" to appear as a pre-defined option in the left-hand column of the Save dialogue, because the operating system has no knowledge of the Scores folder.
However, you should be able to click on "Documents" and then navigate to the folder "Scores". What is preventing this? What happens when you try?
And also, what folder is offered as the default when Sibelius opens the Save dialogue?

It's not possible to click on documents and navigate to scores. If I click once I choose to save in no specific file in documents. There is no difference if I double-click.
The screenshot is what I see when saving
There was no screenshot attached. On this forum, attachments must be less than 900 kBytes in size, and be of type .png, .jpg. or .sib, with that extension spelt in lower case.

To the right of the "Save As" box, there is a downward pointing arrow. Click that arrow to reveal the full Save dialogue, which enables you to navigate through folders before saving.
[This is a generic Mac OS feature, not a Sibelius issue]

Click on the Save As… button. Up comes the Standard OS Save File dialog. If it looks like the attachment, click on the triangle to the right of the suggested file name. Then you'll have a traditional file browser for navigating your entire disk.
Screen shot is on Mac OS, things should function analogously on Windows.
Alternately (at least on Mac) you can go straight up to the Menu Bar and select Save As… from the File Menu.
