Text Instructions
Given that there are a limited number of articulation markings but seemingly infinite
technique variations, text instructions are responsible for a substantial number of
sound changes. Typically entered using Expression and/or Technique Text, nearly all
text instructions remain in effect until explicitly disabled making them an ideal choice \
for sound changes that should persist for an extended period of time.

Lines
Staff lines are similar to articulation marks with two notable differences: they may act
on multiple sequential notes, and the length of the line determines the \
point at which
the technique or effect ends. Staff lines require less discussion than articulations or text
instructions, but the behavior of three common lines deserves a mention.

Yamaha S80 - Sibelius Sound Set User Manual | 21 The explanation lies in the way Sibelius allocates sounds. Sibelius determines how to allocate a staff based on the sound IDs available in the sound set, the Best Sound de- fined in the instrument staff’s settings, and any manual sound set or Preferred Sounds directives present in the playback configuration. This is repeated for each staff in the score until all staves are allocated to an appropriate device and sound. Manually selecting a sound or device in the mixer tells Sibelius “Use this sound regard- less of any other setting.” This overrides the entire allocation system, and while Sibelius will still work within the system, it’s forced to ignore certain things in order to comply with the manual assignment made in the mixer. The trouble caused by doing this is not often obvious, in fact, depending on the complexity of the library or device, problems may not appear right away. Nevertheless, since there are ways of controlling and guiding sound allocation within the system, in- cluding manual sound sets, Preferred Sounds, and instrument staves, it’s best to utilize the methods provided rather than “brute-forcing” and overriding the system through the mixer.
Yamaha S80 - Sibelius Sound Set User Manual | 22 5.4 ‘Implied’ Articulations In Section 5.1 - Articulations/Techniques mention was made of the difference be- tween a live player’s contextual interpretation of the score and the literal interpretation used by Sibelius. This difference extends beyond techniques that are actually written in the score as well; as a player interprets and phrases his part, notes will become longer, shorter, perhaps staccato or accented, without any of these markings being present in the written part. Sibelius itself does not allow articulations to be hidden independently of the note to which they are attached, making this sort of phrasing difficult as it will clutter the score with markings that are desired for playback alone, not in print. However, a solution can be found in a third-party plugin Hide or Show Articulations, which, as the name suggests, allows articulation markings to be entered for playback sake and then hidden so they do not print. Simple and elegant, it solves an important problem and is highly recommended. The Hide or Show Articulations plugin was developed by Roman Molino Dunn and is available from his website The Music Transcriber. p~mf~ ffff cresc. f cresc.f 6 8 & ~C11,51 ~C11,52 ~C11,53~C11,54 ~C11,55~C11,56 ~C11,57~C11,58~C11,59 ~C11,60~C11,61 ~C11,62~C11,63 ~C11,64~C11,65~C11,66 ~C11,67~C11,68 ~C11,69~C11,70~C11,71 ~C11,72~C11,73 ~C11,74~C11,75 ~C11,76~C11,77~C11,78 ~C11,79~C11,80 ~C11,81~C11,82~C11,83 ~C11,84~C11,85 ~C11,86 ~C11,109~C11,110~C11,111~C11,112~C11,11 3 ~C11,114 ~C11,11 5 ~C11,116 ~C11,11 7 ~C11,118 ~C11,119 ~C11,120~C11,121~C11,12 2 ~C11,123 ~C11,124U U & & H & H>> >... ...> . > ..>. .. > .. .> . . . > . . > . . .

Common Terms While working with the sound set, reading this manual, or corresponding with The Sound Set Project, you may encounter unfamiliar terms. To alleviate confusion and improve understanding, some common terms associated with the integrations are given below. ASIO A low-latency audio driver for Windows systems that accesses sound hardware directly, improving performance. AU Audio Unit, the native Mac OS X plugin format. Audio Interface (Sound Card/Chip) The interface used to route audio signal to and from the computer. Automatic Loading A feature available to certain software plugins whereby Sibelius is able to load required instrument sounds without user input. Device Encompassing term for software plugins and hardware MIDI modules. External Host Third-party software used to load virtual instruments, possibly on a different computer. An external host may communicate with Sibelius via virtual or physical MIDI connec- tions or other proprietary software interface. Host (Program) The software application in which virtual instrument plugins are loaded and config- ured. Plugins loaded (activated) in Sibelius are said to be hosted in Sibelius. House Style A set of rules, settings, and preferences that establish a score’s layout, appearance, play- back capabilities, and more. Latency The time between an instruction to play a note and when that note actually sounds.
Yamaha S80 - Sibelius Sound Set User Manual | 24 Manual Sound Set Instrument channel and device assignments. Part of a playback configuration. Manuscript (template) A Sibelius file containing customized settings, such as those found in a House Style, used as a template when creating a new score. Playback Configuration Parameters that determine what plugin(s) or device(s) a score will use for playback. Playback Dictionary Assigns sound ID changes and other MIDI functions to notation markings. Plugin A software virtual instrument. Plugin Instance An active software device in a playback configuration. A plugin that has been activated once is said to be “one instance”, twice is “two instances”, etc. Sound ID A SoundWorld identifier for instrument sounds and articulations. Sound Set Instructions that tell Sibelius what sounds a sample library or hardware device contains and how to use those sounds. SoundWorld Defines and establishes the relationship between sounds using sound IDs. Standalone Use of a virtual instrument as its own program rather than as a plugin within Sibelius or another host. Not all virtual instruments provide a standalone software program. VST(i) Virtual Studio Technology (Instrument), a common plugin format for virtual instru- ments available on both Mac and Windows systems. x86 / x64 Shorthand indications for software architecture. x86 refers to 32-bit, and x64 to 64-bit.
