Can't get triangle percussion instrument to work

I’ve been at this for hours and feel pretty stupid. When I add the triangle instrument to a player, I get a 1-line staff for the instrument. When I try to input notes on the instrument by hitting General Midi Ab6, Dorico only puts rests on the triangle staff. If I input notes lower on the midi keyboard, dorico puts the notes but plays the wrong instrument. Any idea how I can solve this problem? Also, can you please have the patience to answer this for a beginner in Dorico? Thanks.

Of course we will have patience! :slight_smile:

Can you upload your empty project?

Perhaps check these options under Dorico->Preferences.

Having chosen the instrument in Setup mode, I would normally choose a note’s rhythmic value and then press Y to enter notes.

Me too.

I’ll try this. Thanks.
