Hi
since a few days 'add instrument' in the Score Manager won't work.
I can click on 'add instrument', the pop-up menu with the different categories appears, but when I try to click the desired instrument, the menu vanishes, and nothing happens...
The same when I try to change the sound in the instrument list.
Any ideas?
Thanks

If a reboot doesn't fix it, you might need to recreate the preferences file. Save a backup first, in the event this doesn't fix it. That way, you will be able to reinstate the preferences you had without doing them from scratch.

Never mind...
Today the problem decided to fix itself.
Restarting the computer didn't fix it yesterday, but apparently overnight it did...
Computers.... sometimes they're just weieieird.
Thanks
