I do all of my DAW work in Logic Pro and use Dorico 6 (now 6.1) for writing scores. However, over the past few days, I’ve had the annoying problem that MIDI input into a particular staff gives me the right note in the score, but never the right sound (the sound is like a cheap synth) during input. …

If I expand the lower panel, I get… [image] …which is similar to the older view you have , only the piano roll is now at the bottom rather than at the top.
