I have a file set up with an orchestra.  About twenty-odd tracks.  I was trying to edit some velocities in a trumpet part, and it seemed that my edits didn't make any change.  I'll skip the long process that was involved in discovering the following phenomenon:

When I select any woodwind track, the midi tool correctly highlights the notes from that track and accepts the edits.  Same for the strings. But when I select any brass instrument, instead of highlighting the notes in that staff, it shows Violin I..!  So all my trumpet edits were being applied to the violin part :-)

I've checked all the midi ports and channels, can't see anything amiss.  I tried adding another instance of Vienna Ensemble and re-adding the trumpet part on an new midi port.  Same problem.

I can't see anything in the staff menu that enables a user to see the port and channel selection, that all seems to happen in the ScoreManaager.

Any ideas for troubleshooting or a workaround most welcome..

Update: After saving work and re-opening the file, I get different odd results. Such as, select midi tool, selection flute 1, midi tool grabs violin 2 and trumpet 2.  Sometimes the midi tool grabs the right thing, but just as often, some odd other condition.

The midi tool is unusable. They carried the bugs from Finale 25 and added new ones as a bonus.

OK, I think I have a workaround.  I created a bookmark with only the track I wanted to work on, and when I selected some measures for midi editing the notes did get selected!  It's not as grand as being able to edit many tracks at once, but it's something :-)
