Hey! May I ask why this tutorial doesn't work once you're done with the Bar Chimes part? I'm following the tutorial exactly (changing notepad, changing staff type, sound, etc.) but the notes on the staff don't change nor make a Bar Chime sound. This is strange since when I'm in the "Edit Staff Type" window, I can hear the Bar Chime sound on the top space. I can even change the pitch. Any clue as to why it stops working once I press "OK" to exit all the windows to get back to the page?
Hey Chaz - thanks for checking out my video. Your situation sounds frustrating! After thinking through what could be the culprit, my best guess is that the note head type in the Edit Staff Type window is not the same note head type that was used to input the notes in your score. For example, you may have designated diamond note heads to sound like bar chimes in the Edit window, but perhaps you have inputted regular note heads in your score. I'd go back and be certain that the note heads are matching up with what you're mapping in the Edit window versus what you're inputting in the score. And of course, make sure the staff line or space that you designated in the Edit window matches the staff line or space you're using in your score. I hope this helps you get it to sound right; best wishes!
This was so helpful and now I can change note heads and get many other sounds!! Bravo!!👏
I'm so glad it helped, Walter! :-)
