Welcome to the real world of digital recording Kenny.
What exactly made you choose Sibelius over something like Sonar or Cubase if I may ask?

Hey all,
Got my M-audio Firewire 18/14 yesterday, and Sibelius 4 the day before that. Got it all set up and installed in like 20 minutes, including putting a screw in my add-on firewire card.
So I connected the keyboard to the midi jacks on the 18/14 and thought "hey, let's try this flexi-time thing" so I hit record and played my little rendition of "cruella de-ville" that I remembered from my old piano playing days.
About 5 bars into the recording, the metronome being played through my keyboard all of a sudden TOTALLY changed beats and was WAY off what it had originally started at.
Horrible thoughts of timecode/MIDI problems ran through my head.... "is the interface messed up, maybe my keyboard is malfunctioning, etc..." I narrowed the problem down to software since I wasn't sending any timecode from the 18/14 to anything else, and the software was doing the recording so...
A quick scan through the Sibelius' manual mentioned that flexi-time options can be changed.
Evidently Sibelius thought my rusty playing was at a much slower speed than I was actually playing at.
So I changed the setting from: robusto (slight adjustments of tempo) to constant, and the problem went away.
Thus was Kenny's first recording experience... sigh... I'll remember this forever!
