The sound player that Sibelius uses for the 64-bit version is a 64-bit player. I just asked about why both versions are installed on 64-bit machines and received the following answer from Daniel Spreadbury, which I quote with his permission: "Some folks may have 32-bit virtual instruments upon which they rely, and since you can't mix the architectures of the host and any plug-ins that run within it, you therefore need to have the 32-bit version of Sibelius available to run them." Daniel also said that he would be happy to answer anybody's questions about the new version, simply email the questions to him directly at [email protected]. -- David H.
