The freeware solution is a little less elegant than simply hitting "record" on a single program. You have to use two programs, Soundflower and Audacity. Soundflower creates a "virtual output" device and a "virtual input" device that are mapped to each other. So, if you set the Sound preferences to use "Sounflower 2ch" as both output and input, all sounds that are coming out of your Mac are also recorded. Next, you need Audacity (which is a great freeware audio editor, anyway) to actually record the input. All you'll need to do is hit "record" on Audacity and then "play" in Sibelius, and the file will be recorded in realtime. You should silence all of your system beeps and such, because these will be recorded as well if they occur while playing back. Once Audacity has recorded the playback, you can highlight just the part you want in the final file (there will likely be a long pause at the beginning of the file, depending on how quickly you switch to Sibelius and hit "play") and you can save the selection as any audio format you wish. If it can't save as AIFF, you can save as WAV and then use iTunes to convert it to AIFF. However, WAV and AIFF are virtually the same, so you may not need to convert it.
