Hi DWG

Just a thought have you regenerated the song since you introduced the mutes into the original, if so do you have you frozen any tracks, as this will stop regeneration. Therefore you will be saving /rendering the old original non muted version.
In other words, when you play the chord sheet prior to saving or rendering to wave are the mutes effective in the play back.
Just a thought
