Yes, the bass flute works (no double barlines here, though; probably in the preferences somewhere), but the contrabass flute apparently doesn't exist except as a name in the list. > So there's clearly a problem with the instrument definition list, but > when I opened it (using a program which can display both hexadecimal and > ascii) I see no way to change the entry for contrabass flute to make it > work properly. Don't know where this list is. Is this the SQLite database file that jef mentioned? Finale.instruments or GIFF.Soundmap? One more list.

The Olde Way. Thanks!
