Selecting Magnus Choir Presets in Sibelius v5.xx

• Q: Does Magnus Choir presets work with Sibelius version 5?

• A: Avid Sibelius have a strange way to manage them, because seems always to show the default sound.  The way to select the presets in version 5.1 is detailed below and a  screenshot will display you the steps marked with red circles.

In the example, we have selected the preset #11 called "Choralis":


Steps:

1. Sound set: none

2. Send program change: click box

3. Program number: i.e. #11 Choralis

4. Click <Apply> button

5. The <prog No. box> must show "11" 
   

Note: Apparently, changing from Sibelius "FXP" icon don't work properly with several instruments of the market. It's probably an issue that Sibelius must solve.
