I agree the message would be " disc is write protected"

If the files were locked you would get an 'item locked' message.
Can you specify the message you get.
This is to know if it is a message from RISC OS or from Sibelius.

just an idea ...
The message you are quoting looks like an antivirus message!

I have Sibelius 7 on my RPC, nice.
(I am testing Rhapsody4 on my ARMX6, it's not Sibelius.)

Yes, I was thinking of 5.25" disks as I said elsewhere. I remember
software updates arriving on 5.25" which, once obsolete, we used to cut
notches in them to be able to write to them. The controversy was 3.5"
disks being the opposite and not as I misremembered.
