Tremolo absent on tambourine, piano, marimba in larger score, works fine in "test score"
Hello: In a score I am migrating from .XML to MS, at some point in the recent past I thought there was no playback problem with notated tremolo on tambourine, piano and marimba parts in the score. Then those articulations have seemed to stop working.
I erased and recreated a few locations where the tremolo was at, no effect. I checked the 'instrument' setting in Mixer, seemed sensible. Then I created a brand-new score with said 3 instruments, and added some tremolo locations. All those work as desired.
"New Rhapsody..." is the problem score.
Apprecaited.

14 staves, 44 pages, 112 measures.
Please tell us exactly where to look. It saves time.
Sorry, yes, it's a big place to find the problems in...
(Marimba, piano, cajon, tambourine, vocals are SOLOED... The rest is muted.)
Problem measures:
Measure 38, marimba & piano
Measure 80, tambourine
Measure 112, marimba & piano
Thanks

Looks like you turned off playback for those notes in the Inspector, no surprise they don't play :-)

Marimba and Piano in meas. 38, the notes need to be marked "Play" in the Inspector.
Tambourine in measure 80 needs to be marked "Play" in the Inspector. Also, in the Mixer, uncheck 'Drumset" and then check it again to restore the Tambourine sound.
Marimba and Piano in meas. 112:
"Play" is unchecked in the Inspector. Notes were made stemless. It's not a tremolo at all, but a 1:32 tuplet. Notice the number 1.

(also Marc Sabatella) Well I have NO IDEA how those problem spots had their PLAY setting disabled! But now I'm understanding more about the Inspector pane. And for the notation clarification... Thanks alot to you both for the help. I'm proud of this work and was chomping-at-the-bit to get it added to my scores. As a Vocal/Choir K-12 teacher, learning the many instruments has taken a long time to acquire notation comfort.

Might have been something from the XML import?

I've only recently been using .XML for dump out of Finale and import into MS. Would things have gone better if I imported MIDI? Anyway, the clean-up has been tiny compared to re-transcribing the whole piece. Thx.

No, XML very certainly is the better format. But you might consider using the Dolet plugin in Finale to do the export.
