Default Re: Single line staff

Hi,

Thanks for including the file (the choral group at the Governor's School I attended performed this piece - very cool!).

The staff has the Channel as 1 rather than 10, which means you are hearing piano rather than any percussion instrument. Please try the following:

1. Use the Staff Setup button for the staff (speaker icon) to open the Staff Setup dialog and change the channel to 10
2. In the lower left, click the Drum Instrument box twice (yeah this is a bug we need to fix) to open up the area where you can select a drum instrument ("Single drum instrument" lower right of dialog box). You'll need to scroll up to find the useable instruments for the default NS Synth drum set.

You can select a different instrument for each voice if you want to have everything in a single file so they can listen to how their part fits with the others rhythmically.

ttfn,
Sherry
