Hi, I've downloaded this but cannot open the pdf - it says it is a corrupt file and the Sibelius documents won't open on Sibelius 7. (In a nutshell, none of this works). Can you help please?

Dear danball95,
Thank you for downloading and taking the time to review. I am sorry this didn't work for you - I have checked the files and they do not seem to be corrupted or encrypted.
I have re-saved and exported the PDF (please try opening it again) and also saved the Sibelius file as Sib. ultimate 2023, 2020, Sib. 7 and Sib 6 files - hopefully one of them will work! It may of course be that there was a block on your school system which prevented you from opening the files successfully - please try again and let me know.
I have left it open as a 'free' resource for this week so there is no need to re-purchase.
