I've looked through the forum and FAQ's and haven't come across anything that has to do with my topic, unless i overlooked it.

My question is: Is there anyway to playback VDL2 sounds with the horn score playing also?

Sibelius 4
VDL 2
PC
Intel Celeron M 390 / 1.7 GHz



Thanks

Set the wind sounds to whatever sound library you want, or use for winds and hit play.  That's a pretty hefty load to put on a machine though so unless you have a lot of memory, you'll have hiccups and dropouts.

Finale 08 now can do this very easily, and it actually works.  It's a great feature, I dont know if the new Sibelius 5 can do it but if so, that makes it worth the upgrade for you.

This question is for tapespace now that I have vdl 2.5 when is the template going to come out for sibelius 5 I really need it to get started on my music for my show next year.

These templates should be out shortly.�� We understand that you will need those since they have the libraries and staff styles setup for those new instruments.�� When these are released and posted there will be an announcement on the forum about how to get them.�� We do apologize for the delay and thank you for your Patience.

Also, if you still have Sibelius 4 activated (if you ever had it), it wouldn't be a bad idea to contact Sibelius to make sure you're properly registered with Sibelius 4 still. That way you can still get some work done while using that program, and migrate to Sibelius 5 when things are in line. There are quite a few changes in how you'll incorporate VDL into your Sibelius 5 workflow, so as a result there's a little extra 'ramp up' time involved.
