Sib. 7.5: Which "unzip" app is best? Posted by Tonepainter - 27 Jul 02:04AM Hide picture I would like to move a phrase from one voice to another and the instructions indicate that this is done via the "move/copy to another voice" plugin. Could not unzip this plugin after downloading it. Sibelius instructs to download Winzip, but apparently this program no longer exists. I downloaded "The Unarchiver", but when trying to use this for unzipping the plugin, received message saying that plugin cannot be extracted with that app. Which app is best for extracting plugins for Mac (on Yosemite)? Thanks again. Back to top | All threads

Re: Sib. 7.5: Which Posted by Steve - 27 Jul 06:04AM Hide picture Can you use unzip in the Terminal? It is probably easier than looking for software downloads. -- Sibelius 7.1.3, iMac - Snow Leopard 2015. http://ComposersofSibelius.com Back to top | All threads

The whole process is automated on the tab File -> Plugins. And with all such automated download processes, it leaves you with no copy of the original downloaded file that can be installed on other machines. This automated technique is not necessarily better than the old technique. Regarding the Unzip function, this should be supported on both Macs and Windows with no need for additional programs. And if you really want to get a product (for whatever reason), there is nothing in the Unzip process to differentiate one product from another for expanding .zip files; they all do it. You will have to choose based on your need for other file formats and encryption options. -- Patrick O'Keefe Sib 7.5, GPO4, NotePerformer, lots of EWQL stuff Win7 x64 Pro Intel i7-4771, 3.50Ghz, 16GB RAM Back to top | All threads

Re: Sib. 7.5: Which "unzip" app is best? Posted by Tonepainter - 29 Jul 04:55PM Hide picture Gentleman, thank you—greatly appreciate the extensive replies. Since I'm a beginner with this, studied each reply especially because, from what I'm seeing, there's much important information that's missing from the manual, as with downloading/installation of plugins. The manual states that a 3rd party app is required for unzipping; it should clearly be updated to reflect the replies you gave here. Thanks again. Back to top | All threads

Re: Sib. 7.5: Which Posted by Robin Walker - 29 Jul 05:10PM Hide picture I don't know what "manual" you are reading.

Re: Sib. 7.5: Which Posted by Tonepainter - 29 Jul 05:19PM Hide picture I received instructions from Avid's manual here: http://www.sibelius.com/download/plugins/index.html?help=install The instructions for using 3rd party software to unzip is under the "Step 2". Back to top | All threads

Re: Sib. 7.5: Which Posted by Tonepainter - 29 Jul 05:24PM Hide picture I used the instructions in this thread—all plugins installed, all set. Only I don't understand why the manual's instructions didn't include the information in this thread. Thank you, I will check section 1.25 for Sibelius 7.5. Back to top | All threads

Re: Sib. 7.5: Which Posted by Tonepainter - 29 Jul 05:47PM Hide picture I checked section 1.25—yes, it's all there. Thank you. As stated earlier, am a beginner with Sibelius. Wanted to copy phrase from voice 1 to voice 2. Saw that a plugin was necessary for that. When typing "plugins" in 7.5's tutorial section, nothing was found (I viewed all the 7.5 tutorials—they make no mention of plugins). When I typed "plugins" in the reference section a few days ago, scrolled downward for several seconds, and after not finding instructions there, I Googled my question, and instantly received Avid's instructions which I posted earlier. From Robin Walker's instruction, obviously I didn't scroll down enough, but it would be good for Avid to update instructions for plugin installation. Back to top | All threads
