Hi Sherry,

I did as you asked, and there were no problems with the banjo. I also added a clarinet and wrote in some harmony. Still no problem.

I tried the whole .not file again, soloed the banjo, and where the upper and lower voices begin, the banjo part, both voices, became strings. (There are no notes on the two staves between the banjo and the strings, below.)

This is what I referred to as "bleeding staves" before, and the problem is, I think, exactly the same.

The bleeding does not occur in 2.22 when played as a .mid file. Making the measures in question into a not very good looking single voice, also solves the playback problem.

This file was not done in 2.33. I had to uninstall that and install 2.2, then open and save it in 2.2 in order to get it into a format that 2.33 would open. It is possible that the bleeding staves problem was imported from the 2.2 save.

I don't have anything of any length made in 2.33, unfortunately, to test.

I do not know the name Bela Fleck, I'm afraid, though it may come to me when I'm not trying to place it.

all best,
mgj
