String Section stuck on pizzacato

[vintagevibe]

When I use the S7S Library Configuration that comes with this template the "String Ensemble~"  always comes up with the pizzicato articulation as the default.  If I use the text  tremolo~ or staccato~ I get those proper sounds but I can't get to the default bowing using "~" or "Norm."

If I go back to the standard Sibelius Sounds Configuration It works properly.   Have I missed something?

Thanks,

Dean

Hi Dean, welcome to the forum.

Please do NOT use the "S7S Library" set of instrument definitions in your normal music writing; these are intended for sampling the sounds only. Again, do not use any of the custom defined instruments that have the tilde ("~") appended to their names.

For normal writing, you should be using instrument definitions from the "S7S Template 7.1a" ensemble. You'll find these in the SIB file labeled "S7S_Template_7.1a.sib". And the sound set you need to have assigned to Sibelius Player is "S7S SoundSet 7.1a" (or "S7S SoundSet 7.1a Lite").

If this doesn't square it away for you, please let me know.

I think I understand.  Is this correct:

- Use a playback configuration that uses the  S7S SoundSet 7.1a.
- Start a score by opening the S7S Template 7.1a.
- Don't choose intruments that have a "~".

Yes, that is correct.

Have a great day!
