Kevin, although I've done this workaround many times in the past to do the drums without pushes, I found that version 2011 now makes it unnecessary. I also have my preferences set to increase the volume of pushes by zero, and that helped (Opt,. Preferences, Arrange). Perhaps the Latin styles I primarily use may react differently from others?

ps I fear having six questions in one lengthening thread may cause some of them to be lost. If you don't get the information you need, you might consider a separate thread for each.
