displayed notes don't match pitch of palyed sound

Hi,

The midi is the original midi file and it sounds fine. I transposed the melody to Bb Tenor sax in the attached .not file. If you click on the melody, one note at a time, it sounds fine, but if you use the playback feature or create a new midi the notes do not match the sound.

I'm not experiencing this problem when I open both files and compare the pitches that I hear on playback for measures 7-9. Steps I'm taking:
1. Open both files, and use Window/Tile Horizontally so I can see both files at the same time.
2. Click the "Solo" button for the "Melody" staff in each file.
3. Set the Playback cursor at measure 7 (m7) for each.
4. Play one file for m7-9, then immediately go and play the other file (m7-9). The concert pitches are the same.

What do I need to do to hear the problem?

Sometimes notes play where there are no notes on the score at all.

If there are notes in other staves that are not listed in a part, then those notes will play even though they are not displayed. Where is this happening at in the file? I'm asking because I did not notice anything that seemed out of place when I played the file back, but I haven't been working with it as closely as you have either

A similar problem I'm having is when I change a tied note for some reason the last note of the tie has a purple line in it and is at a different pitch.

Which tied note, and what change are you trying to make to it? Knowing specifics will help me to better help here

Totally seperate question: When I create a new staff the notes show as little x's and triangles. How do I make them into notes?

This is probably due to the [ ] Drum Instrument box in the lower left of the "Add Staff" dialog being checked. If that box is checked, then be sure to uncheck it for a "regular" instrument to show regular noteheads.

ttfn,
