As I said in another post, most of the tempo changes - both wanted and unwanted - failed to survive the night. I think the cat must be getting on here after I am asleep...
Today's problem is getting the program to consistently play the notes that are there. I have a couple of sections where nothing gets played in one part for a few measures. I have some places where it gets played but *so* quietly that I am not sure it isn't my imagination providing a 'fill in'. I have the volumes turned up pretty high using studio view, and the parts are marked f or ff, but they still play very quietly. I haven't given up yet, but there are a few head-shaped dents in the wall... Phil.
