Hi there,

I'm a bit frustrated, because I paid a fair amount for the Garritan Marching Band sounds and still have no drum set working. If I pick the VDL General midi set, it has the correct sounds, but it plays only every other note. I hoped the new Finale would fix this, but the problem remains.
Do you know a solution for this issue?

Thank you,

Ralph

You could post the file here and let this forum's experts (of which I am NOT one) take a look. You might also create a support ticket directly with MM.

@Brown: Thank you, yes, I already did.

I've made a video recording of the score playback to make it clearer:

As you can see, the snare roll in the first ending triggers something so that the repetition works properly. The snare roll in bar 14, however, changes nothing, so it can't be the only reason. But then again, in the next section, there are again the drum rolls which "switch" between working properly and playing only every other note.
It seems to be somewhat random.
I should add that yesterday it worked for a while for the whole piece. I've made no significant changes, suddenly the issue came back again.
