I've used Sibelius some in the past few years, just upgraded to 5.2, along with purchasing VDL 2.5! Can see the possibilities, but I'm pretty clueless on getting things rolling.

I have a glock part for our show, and am trying to get it to play back correctly, but the transposition thing is messing me up. I can write the part extremely low and have it sound correct, but writing it in the staff is too high for the playback, apparently. I searched here and found some info on setting the transposition, but don't see that option in 5.2 and I don't see that Sib is tranposing the glock part as is - seems to be playing in the octave it is written.

Help! Just want to have it written in a readable octave and sound right!

WinXP, Sibelius 5.2, VDL 2.5.1, 3 GHZ CPU, 2 gig RAM.

Go to the ";House Styles"; menu and select ";Edit Instrument."; In here, locate the glock instrument you're using and set the transposition so C4 equals C4. This should fix your transposition problems. If you use the VDL/Sibelius template, this is already done for you on all the VDL Glocks, however the 5.2 template is still not yet released.

Match the settings that you see in the [b]Range[/b] and [b]Transposition[/b] fields.

Awesome. Stupid question #1 of 1,000 answered - back with more soon! Sigh.
