I am trying to get rid of the vibrato that Sibelius seems to add by
default to every note longer than a quarter note. This is really
annoying in a jazz arrangement! The midi messgage ~C1,0 stops all
modulation and does the trick, but during playback Sibelius has to
pass over that message in the score. Which means if you playback in
the middle of the score you get to hear stupid vibrato. Does anyoe
know how to turn off modulation/vibrato for good?

For all you Sibelius owners, is this the best place to go for answers?
Much appreciated.

You should go to www.sibelius.com and use the Chat page.

The vibrato is a feature of your synth, not of Sibelius.
Check the instruction manual for your synth.

you know about the Performance choice in the PLAY dropdown menu at the top
of the screen? where you can change the play style from musho to senza
musho? that might be what's wrecking your sound.

this warbling is during composition or during midi in? midi in i don't know
about... like, whether the preset on the midi device pre-vibes sibelius.

what sound card are you using?

actually I'm using Sibelius's sounds, generated on my machine. So
sibelius is sending the midi message to modulate.

Sibelius does not have any sound set.
And Sibelius does not send any modulation message at all, unless
you ask it to.
Your synth, or sound card, or softsynth apparently assumes a default
modulation level at start-up time. There's probably a global setting for

in Sibelius, under >Play > Performance, there's a reverb option.
