David, Thanks for the clarification. I never used the midi tool for key velocities and spoke before I made the distinction. I'm not exactly sure how the ADD tool compares to using the mixer window faders in '06, but it seems like its capabilities may still may come in handy on occasion. Don Har

Check the instrument name. It must have illegal characters in it, such as a slash. RBH Skip Lombardi wrote: I hope someone is reading this list now. I'm trying to extract parts for a big-band rehearsal this evening, and I'm getting an error message, "Cannot create file name' for three par

I am working on a part extraction job for a composer and I have recently upgraded to 2006b, but am noticing many similarities to some of the peculiarities of 2003b.  For instance, clicking the speedy note entry on any completed bar somehow helps reset the spacing of that bar, up to a point.

In Martin's original example the dynamic level was given as forte (throughout, I presumed). The situation you describe can be handled by the midi tool in 2003. Select a range of measures and in the midi tool menu select key velocities. Go to the midi menu again, choose "set to" and enter the new
