Kim,
I assume you are using some sort of Human Playback
This crashing problem is caused most frequently by some articulation that HP
dislikes. In 2009, I get it frequently with the tremolo/drumroll mark, which
was hell since I was doing some marching band stuff. The only way I know of to
find the offending item and keep HP on is to eliminate articulations one by one
until playback succeeds. Perhaps others can identify specific problems in
addition to the drumroll one I mentioned above.
Another possibility is to change the HP style to another one if appropriate or turn it off. If you have HP on, try turning it off.
Jim
PS-what version of Sibelius are you using?

This has probably been covered extensively before, but I've never
been concerned with playback. I'm using MacFin2008b and would like to
have Garriton Sounds playback (to play for a producer). When in the
playback window I hit the playback button, it loads up to 39% then
the ball just keeps spinning permanently. I can't stop it and the
only result is that I must Force Quit Finale.
I have reinstalled Finale and downloaded and installed the latest
2008b update. No difference.
Is there a solution here?
In the meantime, I've gone over to Sibelius, where I'm not getting
the Garriton sounds.
Hopefully,
KIM R
