I have several files in sibelius where playback either pauses on notes (in particular an upbeat into a second section) or plays with a lurching sort of effect with the strong/weak accents of normal music made a nonsense of. This last problem often resolves with a restart of the computer, so it isn't an issue of errors in the actual inputting.Anything obvious that I might have done wrong, or any suggestions for correcting this?

When I've run into similar issues, it's been performance problems with my audio setup. ASIO drivers did help things.– endorphCommented Jan 29, 2017 at 10:54

You really need to show us the sib file. Performance instructions can cause strange effects - e.g. the word 'Waltz' can cause notes to disappear. On the main Sibelius forum we've just done troubleshooting on a score where the word 'cool' in a block of text had an unwanted playback effect. Or this could be the characteristic lumpy playback of an inadequate audio system. Come on over to www.sibelius.com/cgi-bin/helpcenter/chat/chat.pl?groupid=3 , describe your hardware and attach a sib file, then those who know can help you.

2"On the main Sibelius forum we've just done troubleshooting on a score where the word 'cool' in a block of text had an unwanted playback effect." Wow. Makes me glad I'm not a Sibelius user. Also... this answer has a very comment-like feel. It asks for more information and refers the asker to another resource, but it doesn't provide an answer. Commented Jan 29, 2017 at 16:29

@ToddWilcox "Makes me glad I'm not a Sibelius user" - it's definitely too clever for its own good sometimes. The most confusing playback bug I've had was when the words "second time" as part of the song title were interpreted as a playback instruction!!!!– user19146Commented Jan 29, 2017 at 17:22
