I installed the trial version of Songwriter today and noticed there is no option for scrolling vs. non-scrolling playback. Is that not one of the features? Is there a way to stop playback from scrolling?

Also, I notice that when I first open Songwriter and play a song, it starts playing from the first measure as it should. If I re-play the song, it goes silent for the first measure, then begins to play. A second, third, fourth re-play, and it doesn't start playing until the fourth measure or so.

How can that be fixed? Does it have anything to do with my computer's sound system?

As far as I know, SW has scrolling playback, only.

I'm not sure what's causing the second issue.

I have a similar occurrence of the playback muting for the first few notes of playback. It would start only after several playbacks only, not on the second run, or it would also occur after opening a few song files. It however disappears when I restart the application.
