Last post by Hugh Smith - January 01, 2023, 01:34:03 AMDoes he have a license to use the Template?
If it's just pitched instruments, you should be able to copy/paste from one score to another without messing things up. If unpitched instruments are at play, those will need to be entered manually since i'm sure all the noteheads will not match at all. (Go ahead and experiment with copy/paste of the unpitched, see what happens. i'd be curious to see before and after files.
)
Be sure to backup/make copies of files before doing anything.

Please attach a screenshot of your Playback Configuration. And a screenshot of where you put the template sound set XML file, include the full path.
Do you see "Virtual Drumline 2.5" as an option in the Kontakt active instance sound set drop down list?

Installation & Setup / Sibelius Upgrade not recognizi...
Last post by Jchapman99 - December 27, 2022, 09:28:42 PMGood evening,
Before the holiday I upgraded Sibelius from 7.5 to 2022.12 Ultimate. I had purchased the writescore template for the 7.0 + version and things worked o.k. until I upgrade OS Systems. Once I went to Catalina, Kontakt5 had some issues with that OS so I took a hiatus. Now I've upgraded Sibelius and OS Monterrey and when it opens I get an error message saying it can not "load VDL SoundSet 7.0a" and switches to General Midi. I can open Kontakt independently and load VDL into it, so that pathway is correct. I'm looking for some help in recovering that template. Please advise.
Happy Holidays
Jeremy

I don't think he used the template I asked him use when arranging pit parts for indoor. Given that, I'm not sure the score he used can be converted. I think I'm going to have to use the template, copy and paste and then go from there. If I'm incorrect, let me know.
Thanks for all of your help so far!

Last post by drumzx - December 26, 2022, 08:46:03 PMMade that change. . .something else is wrong. Here's another screenshot. Our band director sent the score with pit instrumentation and I think he thought he was choosing the correct battery instruments. I'm not seeing the 7.0a instruments.

Last post by Hugh Smith - December 26, 2022, 07:24:58 PMThe wrong sound set is applied to the Kontakt instance. It needs to be "VDL SoundSet 7.0a". Swap that out, then give it a go.

Last post by drumzx - December 26, 2022, 06:24:43 PMGood to hear from you Hugh!
Attached is what I think you're asking?
Not exactly sure what happened. Everything was working in the fall which again makes me think it was the new Sibelius update/M-Audio keyboard back then. I guess I could disconnect the board and reconnect it with the hope that it would self-correct if you think that would be functional.

The template sound set file looks like it's in the right place. Do you have the correct sound set assigned in your Playback Configuration? Go ahead and attach a screenshot of it.
Another thing could be the communication between Sibelius and the input keyboard. Been a while, but i've seen that get messed up. Not sure how to go about resetting that though, especially on Windows.
Let me know.

Installation & Setup / Sibelius Ultimate Note Input
Last post by drumzx - December 26, 2022, 07:30:10 AMGood morning Hugh, it's been a while since I've been in the forum.
I recently updated my laptop to Sibelius 2022.12. In my first attempt to work on a percussion score (for indoor), I encountered an issue when using my M-Audio 88es keystation for entering notes. For example, when I entered notes for tenor drums (drum 2), the note head placement and designation ended up in the F space of the scale (with a "shot" designation).
When I looked at Kontakt Player, I can see the VDL designation on the left side of the window AND scrolling down on the right side, the battery instruments are loaded as well. And I checked to make sure the .xml was loaded (attached). What am I missing?
Thanks,
Steve
