Andrew and anybody else that can help,

Some songs (very few) do not open with the BASS in the black box. So, I started checking. That is just an anomaly; most open with BASS.

I tried an experiment that failed. I changed from BASS to ELECTPIANO for one song, then hit SAVE AS. If I stayed in the program and opened other songs but eventually came back to the problem song, it would open with the correct melody instrument.

However, If I closed the program, reopened it, and loaded the "corrected" song, it always reverts to BASS in the black box.

I really, really hate this, and it is not what I expected (or paid for). My IT guy who loaded it from the HD I got onto my PC is the head of IT at a local college and he knows his stuff. After loading it, registering it, and opening it, it was doing the BASS thing from the very first try out of the box.

Something must be done to correct or ameliorate this horrifically annoying problem.

Have you any suggestions?

BTW, before I came to the forum with this problem, I got on the Chat Help and told the tech exactly what the problem was. They said they were sending me a form to fill out with all my computer info and for me to describe the problem. They said they were having the "technical department" look at it and somebody would contact me in 0 - 2 days. Nobody, to my knowledge, has contacted me.

I would like some relief, but how and what? Do I need another HD program shipped? I'd be glad to ship this one back.

I await your positive response.
