This is a tough one, I think.
I would like to change the Chord Symbol playback sounds to be different in the opening measures than in the rest of the piece.

For example, in the first 8 measures, I have the chord symbols in a separate channel and set up for "Instant Orchestra/Orchestra Power Hits". They sound great.

But after the intro, I would like to have the Chord Symbols play as "Section Strings/Cellos KS".

I have wracked my brains and even tried to create a second "Chords" layer in ScoreManager to do this but couldn't figure that out either or if that would even solve the problem.

Boy, could I use your guidance! It would be greatly appreciated.
