I am wondering if VDL and Sib 7 are going to play nice together?  I just pre-ordered Sib 7 and would like to be use VDL for the sounds.

going to 64-bit should finally enable correct use of RAM 4GB and beyond.  Even if you're on a 64-bit OS, using a 32-bit program (like virtually all audio software right now) will limit the RAM it can access.

Just did a very very crude test of figuring everything out with Sibelius 7, VDL, and TheWriteScore template (v6).

All seems to work well, dump the xml file in Sibelius via a different route though.

On a Mac...

Right Click ";Sibelius";
Click ";Show Package Contents"; (Don't mess with this stuff... seriously [other than this])
Travel to... Contents/Components/Sounds/
Drop the .xml file from TheWriteScore (v6) in here.

Everything else is as the direction have stated in the template ReadMe file.

Oh and as Jim said, use Kontakt Player 4 (Kontakt Player 2 didn't even show up for me).

I anticipate Hugh will take advantage of Sibelius 7 in some great new way, maybe this will help those on the bleeding edge get by till then.

Again... use at your own risk and happy writing!

Thanks for figuring this piece out and posting this. I just got Sibelius 7 up and running on my Macbook Pro and I'd been struggling to to get the sound set setup correctly until I saw this post.

I installed Kontakt Player 5 tonight after loading the 7.0.3 update. Sibelius seems to now recognize the Kontakt 5 player but I don't see the template xml file in the list. I had in the location you specified for Kontakt 4 and working but Kontakt 5 doesn't seem to be recognizing it.

Does it need to go into a different location? Sibelius is now showing both Kontakt 4 and Kontakt 5 in my options. I'm just not able to use the VDL template soundset with the Kontakt 5 player yet.

I'll be looking into this as soon as I have time. [url=http://www.thewritescore.com/forum/index.php?topic=120.0]http://www.thewritescore.com/forum/index.php?topic=120.0[/url]
