568: Updating sound sets for use with Sibelius 5.2.x

Due to underlying changes in the playback engine between Sibelius 5.1 and Sibelius 5.2, sound sets created for use with Sibelius 5.0 and Sibelius 5.1 will not load in Sibelius 5.2 or or Sibelius 5.2.5.

If you have created your own sound sets for use with Sibelius 5.1, they will require modification before you can use them in Sibelius 5.2.x.

The most important update is to change the FileVersion element from 40001 to 50001, which you can do in any text editor.

You are also strongly recommended to download the Sibelius Sound Set Editor and use the validation options in the Tools menu to check that the sound IDs defined in your sound set validate without errors.
