Hi Mark,

When a staff in 2.33 has two voices, I find that the two voices sound as an instrument not designated--strings rather than voices, for example--or do not sound. This is true when replaying a .not file, but not when the same files is played as a .mid file.

I am enclosing a .mid file, rather than the .not file because of size; however, you should be able to hear the changes if you will:

1 Save the file as a .not file and open it.
2.Play the Banjo from measure 49, where there is an upper and a lower voice, as well as Voices measure 228. The banjo will not sound and the voices in 228 become strings.
3. Save the file as a .mid file and open it.
4. Play the same measures. The designated instruments will be restored.
