Those were string harmonics? Some time ago I entered the flute and bass lines for a sonata by Francesco Mancini (not Henry’s father, as this is music from baroque London) into FM2011. Playback drove me insane as there were occasional 3 and 4 part chords. From my years as a recorder teacher I knew that difference notes could occur in two-part playing, and especially when between sopraninos these difference notes would rattle my eardrums in an unpleasant way. So I thought there were difference notes coming out of my speaker cones.
My plan was and is to make a 4 part version of this sonata for flute and recorder quartets, possibly also for other winds or brasses. I opened my raw sketch in FM2012, and the playback of the solo line was immensely much better, whereas the bass line was muddy when harp was chosen. No harmonic/chords, thank you! I started the flute version by transposing the bass line up an octave and set flute as instrument. Not good, as there is no playback below B natural just below middle C. Garritan apparently has no options for bass flute and not even for alto flute. My solution was to use SmartMusic set to recorder for that part. The combination gives good clarity so far. And then I had problems reordering my staves, until I tried to drag them in the score manager. Very easy.
