When it comes orchestrating for more than 20 instruments I've got a problem... The sound sometimes get stuck so i always have to press the stop button all the time. But I'm some how pretty curious on how could this happen even with a long time experience with NWC2.
I checked any pedals marks on the staffs but that wasn't the answer.
So what could the problem be?
G'day Kristopher,
it sounds like a MIDI "note off" is going missing - I usually run into this when there is a tied note that doesn't match up with the destination note because of something wrong in the way I've done the flow control.
IIRC you can do a Find (Ctrl-F) to look for Hanging Ties which is what Lawrie mentioned as a possibility. These are usually caused by an accidental not being notated in a tied note across a bar line. For example, in C major, a G# in one measure tied across the bar line to a G natural in the next measure by forgetting to add the # to the 2nd G, or in, say, A major, a G natural tied across the bar line to what the key signature causes to be a G# by forgetting to add the natural sign to the 2nd G.
Thanks for clarifying that Milton - been using NWC2 for so long I forget that others are still using 1.75...
Very good suggestions, Milton and Lawrie. Not easy to orchestrait more than 20 instruments which MAY include Cornets, Chimes, Contrabass Clarinet in Bb, or "including" one or two Piano with 4 harps and a Celesta or two! It's just huge!
P.S. I use NWC2 not 1.75.
