5. Playback Conguration

5.1 Selecting the Sound Set

Now that the score is ready, a new playback conguration needs to be created so Si-

belius knows which plugin(s)/device(s) and sound set(s) to use for playback. To create

a new playback conguration, open the Playback Devices dialog from Play > Play-

back Devices in Sibelius’s menu (Sibelius 5 and Sibelius 6) or by clicking the dialog

launcher button in the Play > Setup group in the ribbon (Sibelius 7).

At the top of this dialog Sibelius displays the name of the currently active playback

conguration, with buttons for several dierent actions including Save, New…,

Rename…, and Delete. Click New…, enter a name for the playback conguration,

and then click OK to create it.

When you create a conguration, Sibelius uses the settings of the current congura-

tion to create the default state of the new one. Select each plugin or device listed in the

Active Devices pane that is not required and click the << Deactivate button to remove

it from the conguration.

Once the unneeded plugins have been removed, select the appropriate device from the

Available Devices pane and click the Activate >> button to add it to the congura-

tion. If you are working with large scores or require many instruments/articulations

you may wish to activate several plugin instances to accommodate all of the sounds.

In the Active Devices pane, use the drop-

down menu in the Sound Set column to

select the Mojo Horn Section sound set.

If you activated multiple plugin instances,

assign the sound set to those as well. Click

the Save button at the top of the Playback

Devices dialog to save your changes.

If using a sound set that enables Sibelius to load sounds automatically, your congura-

tion is complete and you can now close the Playback Devices dialog. If Sibelius is not

able to load sounds automatically, or you have chosen to use a manual loading sound

set, continue with the instructions in Section 5.3 - Assigning Sounds.
