Looks like all that is needed to do is un-click the enabling of any instrument in the same menu as the muting. I also have the volumes of any instrument I don't use set to 0. The volume step I don't have to do anymore. When any instrument is disabled it's name turns from red to gray. So you were correct in how the mute option works. Later, Ray
