How to open S7 file?
The main problem with Sibelius Music Notation is that the S7 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that S7 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the S7 file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Sibelius

In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support S7 files.
Programs to open S7 file
Remember to download programs supporting S7 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Sibelius with S7 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the S7 file still does not use the Sibelius program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Sibelius application as the default for handling the S7 file.
Step 3. Update Sibelius to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Sibelius program, it is possible that Sibelius Music Notation requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Avid Technology, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the S7 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The S7 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the S7 file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file S7 or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover S7 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of S7 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair S7 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Avid Technology, Inc.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file S7 except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move S7 to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the S7 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the S7 file again. However, some background programs may block the S7 file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
