Instrument sound changing on note input

Dorico
1

I’m running into a weird issue. As I start note input on a staff, say tuba for instance, the first note or two are the tuba sound, but then it switches to another sound (most often flute).

To note: I’m writing a marching band arrangement with flute being the first staff. I’m also using NotePerformer (latest version) for sounds.

Thoughts?

Thanks,

Brad

Known and fixed in 6.2 From the version history:

Note input

Under some circumstances, the sound used for auditioning during note input would
unexpectedly change to the sound of the first staff in the system; this has now been fixed.

TERRIFIC! Thanks for this. I had been holding off doing the update, but now I’m going to do it. I appreciate it.
