I run into trouble when I score a piece of music with 10 or more staves. Sometimes the instruments on staves 10 + wind up sounding like some other instrument. I think it has to do with the staff properties and the channel.
In order to fit the tie notes into a measure I have to decrease the prior half note to a double dotted quarter note, then I can add the four 64th duration tie notes to the second half-notes chord in the measure. But I notice in the NWC composition "Caverns" measure 40, there is a half note and a half note chord with the 5 tie notes in the measure. What am I doing wrong? I even removed the ties from the tie notes in Caverns, but it still plays properly and I also changed the duration of the tie notes and it still sounds the same.
