Good morning ScoreMerger Is not working, or I don't know what I am doing. I Have assembled two programs with scoreMerger but now it isn't working. Due to the number of parts I wrote Elephant Walk by each instrument. When I went to join all the parts together, I lost the sound after the third or four part is added. At first, I added all the parts together. I realize that not all the sounds were playing. I add each part one at a time. after the third or fourth part I started to lose sound for some of the instruments. I choose Merge the parts into one score. any help or insight please.

Pat,

I would set up a new score with all of the parts. Copy/paste your scores into the new document.

OK I'll try it.

Score merger is meant to merge two partiturs, or full scores, not several parts for different instruments.

Sorry for the long wait. Mike, I tried it your way, but I messed up. Motet thanks for telling me how to use the merger. I wonder if I was using it the right way. Since I did two programs that way, I thought I was doing it right. Question. What does it mean when the instrument are split into 5 parts?

Nice look. I think you're doing it right. DC Drywall Contractors

Pat, not sure what you mean by this. Could you elaborate, please?

… What does it mean when the instrument are split into 5 parts? …

As I see the attached graphic, the instruments are not “split” into 5 parts.

Rather the (many) pitched instruments (some of them with different staff transpositions) are “joined” into 5 parts.

In Other Words:
Some (different) instruments are playing (doubling) the same melodic line.
Meaning that, musically there are only 5 different parts/lines:
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
Part 4
Part 5

An example:

Part 1 is played by
- Flute
- Oboe
- B♭ Clarinet / B♭ Trumpet (the slash mens that they play from the same layout, namely B♭ Transposition)
- Violin

But I am just guessing.
I have not seen the actual score.

Well Pete, I'll say you hit the nail on the head. as I was entering the notes in, I saw the pattern that you are trying to explain. In fact, after I enter the first set of notes for the different parts. I was able to cut and paste the rest of the instruments. I tried to show the first page of notes but was unable to get then small enough to post.

Thank you for your help.
