Note: I have updated the Sibelius sound set file, and the related custom Sibelius files. If you have previously downloaded the first version of the tutorial (version 1.0 is printed on the footer of the PDF file), please remove the custom Sibelius files and download a new set.
I have also created a version of the Sibelius Manuscript Paper, and the Corelli score, saved in the Sibelius 5 format--this tutorial, despite the name, works with Sibelius 5.2 and later.
I'm new to the Hauptwerk user community, but I've been a Sibelius user for eight or nine years. I've recently installed Hauptwerk 4 to use as a VST with Sibelius 6.2--the changes to HW4's implementation as a VST has a significant impact on Sibelius users. I kept detailed notes of what I learned--and wrote a tutorial describing installing HW4 and configuring it to use with Sibelius 6. In addition to writing about the how and the what, I also have created some custom files for Sibelius users to make it easier to use Hauptwerk with your scores.
The tutorial includes a custom Hauptwerk sound set file (defining each of the 11 supported manuals in Hauptwerk); a style sheet that includes Hauptwerk ensemble, family, and instrument definitions; a playback definition for Hauptwerk that properly configures your MIDI channel outputs to work with the new channel assignments in HW4; and Manuscript Paper (templates) for two-manual and three-manual scores.
If everything is installed and configured successfully, you should be able to load and play a brief score (Corelli's "Sinfonia Pastorale") which I have also included--you can compare your results with the file I have recorded and posted to Contrebombarde.

I'd very much appreciate the comments and critiques of all of you.
