No sound unless I put everything to "Solo" in the mixer.

Basically, the title explains everything.
I'm working on a score where no sound comes out unless I turn on the Solo buttons on the mixer.
When an instrument is not in Solo, I can hear the notes when I select them as well as when writing. But when I press Play, only the cursor moves.
Sound works fine with other scores, though.

I don't know if this is relevant, but all the notes appear with the "Velocity Type" at "Offset", and the "Velocity" at "0"


Comments

Those velocity settings are normal and the default, meaning no offset from whatever the dynamics ask for, mf (80) otherwise.

Please share that score.
I see in the past you posted about SFZ, is this happening with using SFZ soundfonts?

I might try creating a new score and just copy the items.
Now I remember. I was writing this on Sibelius, then I exported the file as an MXL in order to import it to MuseScore.
This might be a compatibility problem with MXL format (not sure, though).
But previously there wasn't anything like this.

Based on the title alone, the most likely explanation is that one staff was already set to Solo, that's why you couldn't hear anything else. If that one staff had rests only, that would explain why it created the illusion of no sound at all.

Try turning solo off for all instruments and I think you'll find all is well. If not, please attach the score once you get it to that point.
