Suddenly only one instrument sounds
Posted by bflatblues - 22 Apr 03:22PM
Hi. I'm working on a band score. After deleting some accents in some woodwind parts I tried to play the piece and the only instrument that is making any sounds are the bassoons.

I don't have any parts highlighted so I thought it would play the full score.

I've tried closing Sibelius and reopening it but that did nothing to fix the problem.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.

Is this on macOS or on Windows?
What version number of Sibelius?
Is there a Bass Clarinet in the score?

It sounds, therefore, as if you are using an outdated version of the "Sibelius 7 Sounds" sample library.
Send your web browser to your "My Avid" account downloads page at:
https://my.avid.com/products
Download the item "Sibelius Sounds Updater Mac (DMG) 75.18 MB",
then double-click the downloaded file to start the installation to bring your sample library up-to-date.

I did exactly what you suggested and it worked perfectly. (I didn't know that I had to update the sound library.)

Thank you so much for the assistance.
