![]() ![]() To enter another metronome mark, you can follow the above steps – select the bar and choose Text > Metronome mark.

When you start a new score, in the Quick Start menu, there is an option to include an inital tempo marking or metronome mark. Then, enter tempo changes where you want them to occur later in the piece. The fisrt step is to indicate the tempo above the first bar of the piece. Uncheck the boxes for play on pass 1-8.This post deals with setting an initial tempo marking in a Finale or Sibelius file and then changing it as the piece progresses. To do so, select the slur and go to the Properties window/Playback. If you want to notate more voices in one staff with a slur, you can exclude the slur from playback and thus avoid switching to legato. So if you write a slur (which triggers the legato patch), you are limited to one voice. Our Performance Interval (legato-, portamento-, performance-marcato-) patches are monophonic due to interval recognition. Which sound set do you use? In your case, it should be the Special Edition PLUS sound set, you find at the following location (login required):Īlso don't forget to make channel and program settings on the Playback Devices/Manual Sound Sets page for every instrument you have in your score. I've seen in your records, that you have registered our Special Edition standard and Special Edition PLUS standard libraries. It shouldn't be necessary to export a MIDI file for tweaking expression and velocity. So, what volume we must assign to each instrument on Sibelius Mixer? 100 to all? Or better the maximum? You'll can hear that not only the volume changes, also changes the type of sound, the attack of the note, the quality. You can try it: write any music with a forte dynamic, and then playback changing the volume at the Sibelius Mixer. I've also noticed that if I change the Volume on the Sibelius Mixer, it changes strangely the velocity sent to Vienna Ensemble, not just the volume. And I've also tried to change on the dictionary the values of every dynamic, but is very difficult to find the perfect configuration, because some values are good for strings, but very bad for the piano, and not the best for winds, and other values can be very good for piano, but not correct to use with strings instruments. I use Sibelius 5.2.5, Vienna Ensemble, Vienna Special Edition and the latest SoundSet for Vienna Special Edition.Īs you've said, Sibelius dynamics are over exagerated, so I've tried to use Velocity X-Fade with Expression. I've problems with Sibelius and dynamics, too. Plese lt me know if anyone come up with a solution to this problem with dynamics. I like the idea of Sibelius/VSL integration but so far I am quite disapointed and frustrated. So far, to ge the best out of VSL I must use Logic, and then it becomes quick and easy to blend sounds and make and edit controller changes. I am left puzzled as to the current implementation of VSL in Sibelius and don't see how anyone could create professional sounding recordings in its current state. ppp, pp, p, mp, mf, f, ff, fff) interpreted in the dictionary as controller 3 changes. I plan to comendeer an unused controller such as controller 3, assign it to the expression bar, and thenhaving the expression text in Sibelius (e.g. I have tried: a) turning off the expression bar and using only velocity bar but then the dynamic range is far too small, b) going the other way around (turning off velocity) and using only the expression bar but this results in too artificial sounding playback (and ignores the whole point of owning VSL), c) I am now experimenting with changing the way Sibelius interprets dynamic markings by altering the dictionary. I can't work effectively with the current implementation of VSL for Sibelius. I am certainly not inputting Controller 11 changes, so Sibelius must be interpreting my input in the background and outputting it to VSL in this odd way. I have no idea where VSL is getting instructions to make controller changes. I am having the same problem: when I play back from Sibelius and watch the perormance tab in VE I see that both the expression bar and the velocity bar are moving for each note. ![]()
