Hi, Ralph:

I didn't notice that first time -- I was listening to the beginning of the repeat. Yeah, we lose the three brass instruments when it comes back around to bar 17.

However, the .mid file is correct -- and correctly notated when loaded into Composer, which means that Composer "sees" the notes in bar 17 when it saves the .mid file, but somehow misses "seeing" them when it plays back.

I played with adding a new bar to the second ending (as a new bar 18) and pasting bar 17 into it, then setting the endings to two bar endings, but it still mutes the brass at the new bar 18, even though the volume is up at that point.

I then, starting with a fresh load-up of the file, tried deleting the 1st ending symbol and suddenly bar 17 plays as it should on the repeat, meaning that the spurious muting has something to do with the ending symbol (or rather its coding underneath).

At this point, I pass the question to those with more experience than I.
