Midinotate problem - notes continue to ring out when I press stop

Thank you Sherry, I'd tried turning off the stuck notes with no success. I'll have a go at updating the Midi drivers and if still out of luck I might have to plump for that upgrade.

Thanks again :-)

Drivers were all up to date, so have downloaded the trial version of Musician and it's fixed the problem.....however, all the percussion tracks are filled with odd symbols and letters in the new trial version. Not a major problem for me as long as it just keeps to the percussion tracks, but it'd still be nice if there is there a fix for this? Hopefully so, then I can go ahead and purchase

Cheers

Hi,

In the updated versions, the drum tracks/staves noteheads have been replaced with percussion-related noteheads. The percussion staves are not truly pitched notes, but are called "pseudo pitch" because each "note" corresponds to a particular drum instrument rather than an audible note pitch. The "X" and "triangle" correspond to whether, for example, a notehead has an accidental or not. The "accidental" would be for a different drum instrument than the "natural" notehead.

This x/triangle notehead is only for drum instruments (channel 10), and for the five-line staff is x's and triangles. If you like having each instrument on a separate line (single line), you can use the "Staff/Split Drums" command, and then select which type of notehead you want for each single-line staff.

Hope this explains some of the differences you see. I'm also glad to hear that the newer product takes care of the stuck note problem.

ttfn,
Sherry

Thanks Sherry,

Actually, since I've re-booted the computer the drum tracks now do have the x's and triangles. When I messaged before, they had large letters and jumbled text all over them, so it must have been a temporary blip.

Pleased I can go ahead and purchase now, which I'll do in a minute,

Cheers,

Jon
