I loved the crap out of PO4. I loaded it into Sibelius 7.5 time after time and it would even auto sinc the instruments I would add to my score, and everything was bliss (though I didn't realize it) and everything JUST WORKED.

Now I've upgraded to PO5 and I can hear weird sounds playing behind notes (weird artifacts in the sound), the instruments refuse to load correctly (took me 2 weeks just to get the darn thing to make sound) and I CAN'T JUST HIT THE STACCATO BUTTON????? Why do I have to change tracks? PO4 had a master switch that controlled everything.

These are also some of the reasons I refuse to use a DAW, as they do not mesh with my creative style and are WAY too confusing to use. I get that options are nice, but dang, do we really need to start with the shell of the programs? (yes coding terminology)
So what the heck happened? Would anybody like to help me out with some of these issues? It's honestly been a huge writers block. 

Win 10, Sibelius 7.5 (8 is the exact same thing, why would I pay for that)

Am I just forever stuck on GPO4 as the industry becomes more and more convoluted for no reason at all?

Keep GPO4 installed and use both.  This way GPO4 is still there for your old projects, and you can also use the new content (Pianos, Organs, Choirs, Orchestral String content) of GPO5.

 

I threw together a personal sound-set for Sibelius.  I'm not crazy about the way I have the default Orchestral strings sounding, but one can easily change a stave to use the other strings in the Library (identical sounding to GPO4).

Thanks, downloading now. I'll see how it works with both. If anything I can just use GPO4 till I get this figured out.
