There are songs available on the net that have embedded commands to set the patch.

You can use F5 to check and maybe see the setting. Another method is to use F5 to test this, and if all else fails, use F5 to set the patch on bar 2. If this works there is an embedded command.

Now I'm not in front of my music computer but there are settings that permit you to override this behaviour. Someone else will chime in (so to speak what patch is chimes?) and help you some more.

As you will find, the program is rich in features, and at times it can be frustrating to learn and discover them when you are trying to work on your song.

The advice here would be if the setting works on a 4 bar test song with a few chords, it's just something in the software that is not apparent to you at this point in time.

Keep up the work, it gets easier as you go!

Bonne chance as we say north up from the 49th eh?
