Having a problem and it's driving me CRAZY!

I have an arrangement that has 5 voice parts, all set to the general Piano mode when I play it back in Finale. The problem is, when I export it to a midi or an MP3, the instruments change half-way through to vocal aahhs and random other sounds. I do have more options than I usually have for playback (the original Finale file was given to me), so maybe it's something there? I've attached a screenshot of what I'm talking about in hopes that someone has some idea on what I need to do!

Select the entire score. Right click with the selection tool, and choose Clear Selected Items... In the next window, choose None, and then check MIDI Data, OK.

See if that helps.

We might need to see the file, then.
