I have a doc where the top system (two staves of vocal parts) will
not play when HP is on. I have tried Standard and Custom and have
looked for any obvious reason why. If I turn HP off (None) or if I
use Spacebar-Click, they play fine.
I've tried changing MIDI channels, changing patches,

The systems that DID play back had notes in them created by me. It

better understand it.
