I imported a Sibelius file with musicxml. Everything seems to work fine apart from a tom.
In bar 2. Notes are (red)greyed out in the Lower Zone’s velocity editor. The floortom works fine and can be edited; tom2 does not, though it played back. What could be wrong?
I tried to upload the file but it was too big (5 Mb’s). How can only 4 bars of drums be too big to upload?
So I included a pdf.
Presumably the entire sound segment is still included in your excerpt. Try choosing the silence Playback Template on your excerpt, saving the file, (check its size), and then reapply the Playback Template to see if the resulting file is smaller.
You were absolutely right about that Derrek. The file is included here now. Maybe my problem does not appear in your set-up.
So my problem was that (in my setup) I cannot change the velocity in bar 2 on the tom notes (D note); at the same time the floortom (A note) was no problem.

Hi @Rob_Catlender, no problem editing the velocities in your file: if you select the tom 2 notes with a marquee selection in key editor, then switch to properties, you see that those notes have a velocity of 12: this is the reason for the visualised pale colour (low velocities=paler colour). You can edit the velocities in different ways. I made a short video with more details:
Thanks, Christian_R for your contribution. Unfortunately it was not the solution. I’m preparing a video to show the problem. I have the feeling it is a bug when importing a Sibelius file with MusicXML.
I made a Quicktime mp4 video from less than 1 minute. It’s 63 Mb. But even converted to the (barely readable) smallest format it is 6.6 Mb. The maximum size to upload here is 4Mb. I’m very curious how you manage to post video’s here…
Dropbox/Google Drive link or similar.

Okay Jesele, here is my attempt… https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_wRC6XItHW85RBN8uP2mdxF20JIOnA1V/view?usp=sharing
I found the solution for this problem.
In Playback Template switch to Auto - Apply and Close. Fadersettings will be lost. Then switch back to your previous setting.
I found out that previous velocity settings-problems after importing a Sibelius file with MusicXML seem to be solved as well. Some instruments were unexplicable soft. Not anymore.
