Metronome volume changing

[blane245]

I am using the metronome with MIDI channel 10. My problem is that the volume of the metronome keeps changing during the playback. It appears to be a random times. I've started and stopped Notation a few times, but it doesn't seem to fix the problem. Also, it happens on some songs and not others.

Hi Blane,

I suspect that there is probably another staff (perhaps hidden) that shares the same channel number. Any other staff that shares the same channel will affect the sound if there are any MIDI events in it. Please take a look at Staff/Setup, and see if there are any other staves that share the drum channel. If so, and you don't need those staves (eg. they are hidden because they have no notes), try deleting the staves and see if that solves the problem. If it doesn't please post a sample file that shows the problem and someone here can take a look at it.

ttfn,
Sherry

Here is one of the pieces I am having trouble with. It had a recorder paert with nothing in it originally that I removed. Removing the empty recorder part had not effect. Let me know what you find Sonata 5 in Bb Major(III).not

Hi, Blane:

I can't find any problem with metronome volume in what you posted, but it did contain only one staff. Was that intended?

Yes, there was only a single staff. Since your are having no metronome problems, maybe it is a problem between Notation and my computer or OS. Possibly a sound card problem. Since I don't have a MIDI, I am using Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth as the MIDI device. Could that be the problem?

Hi Blane,

I have just played your song. The metronome volume is indeed inconsistent and all over the place. I do not think that it is the Microsoft wave table or the operating system.
