Hi, I’, on Cubase 14 on a Mac OS (Sequoia 15.7.1). As you see in the attached example (bar 4), all the piano notes should be in voice 1, but one note ended up in voice 2 (there are 2 voices active in Instrument Settings). The way that’s worked for decades is to right click on the note and a menu appears to change voice. Now no menu appears except a small, limited tool bar (in other areas I’ve newly encountered this problem, but if I hold the option key while right-clicking, a menu does appear…not in this case though). I’ve also tried selecting the note then clicking on the voice buttons in the tool bar at the top, but nothing happens…when I click on the note it shows voice 1 button, just like the others, but it’s not, because I can’t beam them. It’s hard to understand why something that was always so easy is suddenly complicated. I’ve looked at several google solutions, but nothing applies. Anyone have an idea?
That’s how it should work. In the Score menu, enable Note and Rest Colours / Voice Colors setting to see which notes are set to be in which voice. This should give some additional information, helping to work out what’s going on.
Thanks. I activated the colors, and the one weird note was green (V2) while the others were blue (V1). But I still couldn’t change the note’s voice to V1. I worked around it by deleting the notes in that bar and copying in notes from a similar bar. That worked, but there are similar issues later in the piece, so it’s clearly something in the program not working right.
On the bright side, that terrible problem with Cubase hanging up at Core Midi by start-up seems so far to be over with after the update to Sequoia. 
If you can provide a small excerpt of the track in the form of a cubase project file, we can take a look at the specific problem.
Okay. The problem here shows in Bars 3 and 4; the blue notes and green notes are showing both as V1 on the voice buttons (also in bars 1/2), but they’re different voices. I try to change the green notes in 3 and 4 to blue V1, but they remain separate voices. The low bass notes (purple) are like a 3rd voice, but they should be 2nd voice green (if all the notes on upper stave would be V1 blue). Does that make sense? I did move the green notes in 3/4 up from the lower to upper stave. It’s not so bad like this, but I’d like to understand why different colored notes are showing as the same voice and won’t change to another voice. Thanks.

Thanks for the file.
The voice count is individual for each stave. The green notes in the right hand of bar 3 and 4 actually live in the lower stave (in voice 1 in fact). You probably used the “Cross to stave above” command on those notes, which is why they draw in the upper stave. This will be more apparent for shorter notes, as the beaming will then go between the staves. You can instead move them there by using the “Move to stave above” menu.
Thanks. So, if the blue notes and the green notes are both voice 1, the different colors do not indicate different voices? I think the wording of the menu options is confusing; it now reads “Move to Staff Above”, but it doesn’t “move” the note, it changes it just to the same color (blue), then I can move it upwards with “Cross to Staff Above”. The old option was “Change voice to…”, which made more sense to me. I think I can work with it now that I understand the logic, but it is confusing at first.
