I can’t seem to get the Garritan Percussion to play on separate tracks. The all come out on the Side Drum (Snare Drum) line in sound though they are all on separate tracks. Any suggestions are welcomed. I am including a few measures as an example.

Can’t tell for sure, but it looks like you don’t have any percussion maps chosen for the Bass drum and the other instrument.
Does the problem sport itself out, when you chose the appropriate percussion map?

I have chosen the GPO Perc Map. But it only shows active in the side drum line. Notes are entered into the correct lines of the staff, but when played only sound on the Side drum line. I am new to this, (Finale user my whole life). The parts are written in different staves, but the sound comes out on only one channel, the Side Drum Channel.
In Play Mode, select the track (instrument) in question. On the left side, you should see Perc. Maps.
You can see that Side Drum, has the GP percussion map selected, but the bass drum drum and cymbals do not.
Try to apply the percussion maps there, and see if that fixes the problem. If it doesn’t, then the issue will be with the percussion map itself, and I can help you walk through setting one of those up.

I’m also noticing that no VST has been assigned to those instruments as well. I am not sure if that is just because I am viewing on my computer that may not have the same setup you have, or if you don’t have VSTs assigned,
I would assign the correct VST to those instruments, and then make sure you have the correct percussion map setup.
Let me know if you get it working.

Thanks Robby. Still no success. I am attaching a portion where I’ve tried to place the drums all in the same package. (Set). Now I can get none of the perc to play. Everything else works fine. Thanks for looking!

This is an identical problem to that reported in this other thread by two users with similar names. The supplied document has the same title and author in Project Info. Why do you have three user accounts?
Please don’t post the same problem twice, as it confuses the issue and wastes people’s time.

I do not have three accounts and I have not received a solution to my problem. Please. I am only trying to discover how to solve this problem. So far, all the threads I’ve read on it are vague and have not solved the problem. I am not being negative, I am trying to find a solution. Sorry to bother…
Please look at the link in my previous post, which gives you four simple steps to follow.
