Maybe replace the Sibelius importer, and run CocktailLE for Leopard  
to erase the index files, and see if new ones solve the problems?  
Cocktail in demo mode?

Or Add / Remove volume names from the Spotlight Privacy List  
(supposedly causes Spotlight to re-index the volumes)?

I found these references while googling Spotlight:

Discussion for (Tiger) Spotlight

CocktailLE demo

I was/am hoping to just let Spotlight run, but at times I may have  
done (probably) a Restart before it had finished. I think I want to  
let it run, and run to completion, so I can use my OS and apps as  
normal ... whatever that is.

According to Cocktail developers, looks like 10.5.7 is en route ...
