Solution

Verify the installation of the House Style .lib file(s) is correct. This folder is frequently one that users must create during the installation process and a common mistake is to name the folder "House Style" (singular) rather than "House Styles" (plural). The House Style file(s) should be installed as follows:

Sibelius 5 / Sibelius 6 (Where "x" is the version number, 5 or 6)

Mac OS X:
Users/username/Library/Application Support/Sibelius Software/Sibelius [x]/House Styles/

Windows XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Sibelius Software\Sibelius [x]\House Styles\

Windows Vista / Windows 7:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Sibelius Software\Sibelius [x]\House Styles\

Sibelius 7
