Stave 9 set to "Church Organ" but plays drums.

My apologies if this is out here already and I just don't know how to look it up -

I noticed the sound of a drum coming from what turned out to be the ninth stave on a piece I'm transposing in Noteworthy 1.75b. This despite having set the instrument to "Church Organ" in staff properties. Is this a known bug, a menu default option, or something in my midi setup - anyone got any ideas?

Check the MIDI channel in the Staff Properties MIDI section.  The channel is 10, and channel 10 generates drum sounds, so change it to a different number.  Since there are a large amount of staves, you should change it to 16.

Thank you Kahman - that did the trick.
