One note on top of the other.

This may sound odd but I am trying to get the composer to play two notes at once but It wont let me. I first tried to do three at once but still couldn't. Can anyone help me with this matter?

It does sound odd.

Can you describe exactly what it is that you're trying to play, i.e., a three note chord in one staff, or three staffs with one note in each?

Are any of the staffs or any of the notes muted?

Are you pressing F5 or Shift-F5?

What are your settings in Tools/Options/Midi?

Are you a new user of NWC; if not, have you always encountered this problem or is it a change from the normal behaviour?

What type of computer and which operating system do you use?

Are you trying to enter a chord?  If so, just Cntl/Enter to add a 2nd (or 3rd, 4th, etc) note.

Hey Mike, where did you go?

It's quite simple. Enter a C, then type <arrow down> <arrow down> <Ctrl-Enter>. There's your simple chord. Any other chord can be produced in the same way.

Was that your problem?
