I ran across this when browsing the Sibelius Help chat page.

Apparently if you use text in your score that closely matches an instrument
name or a repeat string, Sibelius will respond to that when in playback. For
example I used the letter "D" as a custom rehearsal mark and in playback my
music went back to the beginning (just like a D.C. al...). I had to skip the
letter "D" for playback purposes. Of course for printing a score there is no
need to worry about any of these concerns.

Below is a link to a thread of messages that deal with the same issue, but
in this case affecting the instrument being heard during playback.



BTW this Sibelius Chat page is very helpful, even to our community. thanks
again and credit to Kevin Gibbs for pointing me to this source.

Enjoy.
