Nothing happens. Playback is totally unaffected. What now?
Two ways -- invisible (easy) and graphic (more specific & harder): 1. Choose Midi tool. Select the staff. Choose Midi Tool, Edit Continuous Data Choose controller 7, volume Enter (say) 64 Since volume stays until you change it, entering the value on the first measure will remain unchanged until it encounters a change. 2. Choose Midi tool. Double click the staff you want. The Midi window will open above the staff. Choose Midi Tool, Edit Continuous Data Choose controller 7, volume In the Midi window, click-drag across the area you want to affect. Choose Midi Tool, Set to Enter (say) 64 Since volume stays until you change it, entering the value on the first measure will remain unchanged until it encounters a change. That should do it. The reason nothing changed: When you choose percent alter, it starts with zero, so it remains unchanged. Once there's a value in place, you're set to go. Keeping track of volumes is tricky in this window, as the only place you'll see them is where a change occurs; otherwise, no value will be shown in the 'bar chart' presentation.
