Wrong instrument in the playback

I am currently working on a piece that plays back every new staff as a general percussion staff (instrument="-none-") no matter what the instrument value is.  I can find no good reason for this malfunction or a way to fix it.  I am completely stalled and will have to go to a better sequencing program if this problem can't be fixed.  Has anyone had this problem?

Make sure all non-percussion staves are set to channels other than 10 (or 16 on some systems).

I'm having a similar problem, writing a piece that's currently using strings and voice sounds, and whenever I have the voice sounds in one line, the string sounds are changed into voice sounds to match.  I'm at a bit of a loss.

Tracie - you've probably got two or more staves set to the same midi channel.
