Thank you Rachael and JazzMandan.

Ok now I'm feeling really dumb.

I right click on strings and I select Soloist under "assign to this track". Now what. If I then "Generate Track" I don't get the Soloist part on the Strings track. If I select the instrument from the list, I still don't get the track.

Is this supposed to generate a new solo? Set it up so that the next solo gets put on the strings track? Something else?

Regardless, I am not getting the soloist part on the strings track.

I really appreciate your taking the time to hand-hold me through what I expect is pretty simple.

John
