Problem with drum staff

I have many files with different tunes. When I try to play each files
(one after the other), it's make a big mix sound... If I have a tune
with a drum track (in the staff 10), often these track sound like and
other with an other sound (like piano for example).

I really don't know what's happen but I think that when I change a tune
for another, the software not "understand" that it's a new tune and all
the parameters must be at "zero".

Please help me, I must make a show in one week ...

Thank's !

Is NWC your playback device?
If so click Stop after playback is complete to reset the sound output.
If your using a juke box type player I guess it might not reset.
Try putting a program change - playback instrument at the start of each staff.
I hope your drums are on Channel 10 not staff 10.

Otherwise - cant help.

You can also press the R key to go to Score Review. Make sure that you have a sound patch assigned to every staff with a unique MIDI channel (staves that are not assigned a MIDI instrument patch show a --- in the Patch column).

I have found that it is helpful to have the midi channel 10 (drums) set with the sound as acoustic piano. This sets the drums to a basic rock kit, and stops any other drum patches (if they are available like in Wingroove) from sounding when they shouldn't be.

Talking of drum tracks, can I display a drum track using crosses instead of normal note?

Chen,
no you can't *yet*.
Unless you modify the NWCV15.TTF font to display a X instead of O filled with Fontographer or such tool ;^)
