Triangle parts in SibeliusHi. 
I think that I have the same problem when I try to write for drums. Sometimes I 
hear the sounds and sometimes don't. When I navigate in my drums part, I hear 
that the volume goes down till I can't hear anything and during playback, only 
if I play the score from the begining, I can maybe hear the right sounds 
normally.
Well, I decided to write the drums parts with slashes and it went very well. I 
know that it's not acceptable to write A triangle part with slashes and I have 
no idea for  you about mentioning that the triangle is open or closed' but 
unfortunately, I don't find another idea. 

Best regards 

Nili Seidel.

  Dear All, 
          I'm trying to write a triangle part in Sibelius.  My problem is that 
I can't get the choked triangle to sound reliably when I play the G# 
immediately next to the A5 that yields the open triangle.  If I choose the MIDI 
Device option in Note Input Options, the opened triangle will play on A5 and 
the closed is supposed to play on D6 according to JAWS.  However, when I press 
the G#5 for the closed triangle, I don't always hear anything played.  If I 
left arrow through music I've already inputted, I sometimes hear a partially 
opened high hat where I would expect to hear a choked triangle. If I choose the 
staff position option in note input options, the choked triangle will be 
written as an x on G#5, not D6.  However, it still won't play a closed triangle 
reliably.  If I alt tab out and back to Sibelius, I might hear a closed 
triangle once or twice but eventually I'll get a semi-closed high hat which is 
inappropriate.  

          I have just my laptop with an Oxygen 8, a 25 key controller with 
octave plus and minus buttons one uses to alter which two octaves are available 
at any given moment.  My big computer and 88 key keyboard are not yet unpacked 
from my house move and won't be for several weeks.  If anyone has any idea as 
to what might be going on, I'd appreciate any information.  

  Best, 
  Kevin
