Hi, List, When I load Sibelius up and an editing or inputting notes I don't automatically hear the pitches of the notes, they are spoken out. I would like to change this so that when I press a note on the keyboard it actually plays it in pitch instead. The only way I can do this at the moment is to load up one of the test pieces that use sound essentials and then it will do it for me after that. Is there a way to load in this setting without having to load one of the sample pieces too? Kind Regards, Alison Trelfa.
