Thanks, but it's the opposite I'm trying to do. I don't an instrument to be exempt from the hold. I only want some of the instruments to play the hold and the others to be completely muted for that bar or bars.




Sorry if I'm STILL missing your point but...

If you type "C..b C..b" for example, in a given measure, then ONLY the bass will play and the others will by definition be muted.

I don't know about the F5 command so don't know if that's any easier or more difficult.
If I'm still missing your point then I will BUTT OUT!!!!!
