However, the right click menu does come up, on the track that you right clicked on, and it makes you think that you are changing instruments on that track. But you are really modifying the track previously highlighted (because to focus didn't change when you right clicked on the track that you thought you were modifying.

Apparently this is "By Design"... See attached screen shots...


Just now getting back to this discussion. Posts after this one I still need to read more thoroughly. Anyway, Thunderthud, thanks for pointing this out. BTW, I don't "right click" to change instruments. Right or left clicking, it doesn't make a difference, so I'm usually left clicking. Anyway, I tried it with the track that I was originally having issues with -- a bass track. So I clicked on the Track Name, then clicked on its description and changed the instrument, and Yay! It worked. So that puzzle's been solved at least.

BTW, I disagree with the coder's reasoning here. They've just made it so that I have to perform an extra step to get done what I wanted to get done. I don't see the advantage they're claiming.

Best,
Michael
