Hello again, I think I did all you suggested. I have the preferred instrument and port set.
I copied the Casio instrument list into the QWS folder. Under Options, I chose Instrument. Two ports are shown, including the one I need. It is never selected. I could select the instrument, however. I set up a dummy track and found that I can play every instrument on the list. This includes the drum set for the metronome. The settings for the metronome correspond to what I found in the instrument list. To me this should mean that the path between input withkeyboard) and output, synth out) is as it should be. I still have no metronome. I guess this can still be pilot error. I'm old enough now, so that I have learned how to make tons of mistakes. I can only hope you're still with me.
