Interesting, because I checked with Sibelius and they said that Sibelius 6
would run under Windows 7. Maybe 5 doesn't.

Subject: [sib-access] Sib Access under Windows 7
Hi All,
A client is about to buy a new system and needs to run Sibelius
Access. We were hesitating over whether to go for a Windows 7
system, so I asked Tim about compatibility. He said that Dan and he
were just exploring this very question but hadn't yet found what
would happen, so I promised to try it and report back to the list.
When you install Sib 5 in Windows 7, you get a warning that there are
known compatibility issues. If you go ahead and run Sibelius
anyway, it fails dismally to function. Nothing works, menus don't
come up, and it crashes out with a memory address error message.
So I think that's probably a no then.
It looks as though the client will have to go for XP, but what are
the prospects for scripts for Sibelius 6 under Windows 7?
Forgive me if this has been covered recently as I was bounced off the
list for a while.
Best,
Peter
