General Discussion / Re: Bug when using percussion
So, are you saying I cannot have more than 16 separate instruments (ie. MIDI channels?) If I combine organ and piano grand staves, that helps, but then I can't add a piccolo part because I already have 16 channels in use? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to turn this into a full discussion of the MIDI standard. I'ts probably here somewhere else on this forum.

Regarding automatic note heads: I cannot find that option on Staff Properties. Does that feature even exist? Jut press X note head when composing that staff. I'm not sure what I did wrong that one time.

There are a lot of nuances to this software. I have had great success with it, given my limited knowledge. Now give me a few months to glean everything I can from these fora.

General Discussion / How to unclick duration
I clicked the "eighth note duration" button and now every note is an 8th note. Pressing 3 doesn't change it to quarter notes. I can't seem to unselect 8th note in the menu button bar. This is 2.75a.2

Seems like a bug where the note duration got stuck. I restarted the program and it's ok now. Pressing 3 changes the button bar to quarter notes now.

General Discussion / Re: Bug when using percussion
It seems that the bug was: (at least when the score was created in 2.0:)

The staves get MIDI channels numbered 1, 2, 3, ... When it hits 10, that staff (in my case the cello part) got MIDI channel 10 because it was the 10th one I created. This seems to make it a Percussion staff.

I hope this bug has been fixed in 2.75a.2 but I don't want to go back and recreate the score. Changing the MIDI channel to 12 now it sounds like a cello.

General Discussion / Re: Bug when using percussion
I created the percussion staff as a regular staff with a percussion clef. I added a single note with an X note head.

The problem is the Violoncelli staff. It is using Midi channel 10 (whatever that means). The instrument selected is "Cello."

The file was created in 2.0 and I just upgraded to 2.75 and it did not fix the problem.

(Trying to attach the .nwc file but I can't see how to do that here)

General Discussion / Bug when using percussion
I am using NWC 2.0. It seems there is a bug. If I have a percussion staff, then all other staves play as percussion, note heads change to X and it's just all wrong. Please help. Is there a bug fix upgrade for this?
