75: Part extraction - Sibelius cannot open parts after extraction

There is a minor bug in version 1.3 of Sibelius that may in some cases prevent Sibelius from reopening extracted parts after extraction. This is because Sibelius erroneously saves files beginning with a space character (e.g. " 1 Bassoon.sib" rather than "1 Bassoon.sib"), and it then ignores this character when trying to open the file.

This problem does not occur in v1.4 or later, so you should upgrade now.

If you are unable to update your copy, you could work around this problem by renaming each of the extracted parts to remove this initial space character. Alternatively, if you choose Score plus staff number from Options in the Part extraction dialog box, Sibelius saves the parts with the correct filename.

This problem does not occur on Mac or Windows 2000, or in later versions of Sibelius.
