First, no problems playing my music (with NotePerformer sounds). Today I “touched” something searching for my designed shortcut cntrl-option-S to show accidentals.
Suddenly - no sounds when writing, no sounds playing back.
Restarted Dorico. No changes as Dorico saves my settings. Noticed that while using the soundless playback if I pressed option-S I heard little bits of the playback for a while, then they stopped until I pressed the option-S again. Not usable…
Can someone enlighten me what this is about, please?
While that project is loaded, please do from Dorico’s menu Help > Create Diagnostic Report and post the corresponding zip file here. From the contained data I most likely can tell what is wrong.
Okay, its easy, go to Play mode and then in the lower pane have a look at the mixer channels, the leftmost channel called DoricoBeep is in Solo mode, i.e. all other channels than the one for the Metronome gets implicitly muted.
So on the DoricoBeep channel click on the little S button to disable Solo mode again.
Now you ask, how come? Because you never consciously put DoricoBeep into Solo mode, right? Well, you most likely hit the shortcut Alt-Shift-S or similar, which puts the currently selected channel into Solo. If there is no selection then the first channel gets soloed.
Thank you very much, Ulf! That worked - I sort of guessed I had done something stupid involuntarily…
Btw, there have been to namesakes of you very important in my life - our family doctor in the 50s (boy I was afraid of his vaccination needles!) and later in my professional life our long time chief conductor of the Finnish National Opera, a strong supporter of new Finnish modern operas, Ulf Söderblom. He worked in his job from the 60s to the early years of this new millenium.
I’m glad that my instance will keep in your mind on the better side
