Customer Reviews:
Wish I could make it work!, 2008-05-24 Installation on both a pc and a mac was easy. Getting the USB MIDI driver installed on the pc was annoying and time-consuming - but that's not a Sibelius issue. My biggest complaint now is that I am unable to use the supposedly superior "flexi-time" note input mechanism. I am a pianist and professional piano teacher, my fiancé is a computer professional, and between the two of us and way too many hours of trying to make this work, we still haven't figured out what is wrong. Apparently I am not the only one with this issue. Online I found this cry for help: "When I use flexi-time, there's a delay between when I play the note and when I hear it over headphones. Unfortunately, the delay appears in the score, in the form of a persistent eighth rest preceding the first note, which bedevils the entire arrangement. Much manual fixing and re-inputting required, rendering flexi-time more or less useless."
"Useless" is what this program is to me at this point. Sibelius's online helpcenter does not cover this issue, and the phone support is only available during business hours Mon-Fri, except holidays (this is Saturday before Memorial Day). I googled and found several online help sites but none has an answer to this problem. Some say to "fiddle with the preferences" - tried that, didn't do diddly. Ideas, anyone??
