Playback on bottom clef
I am trying to compose a Cello Duet but when ever I do play back it only plays the top line. I don't know if it is because I have to bass clefs in my score. I have downloaded 2 cello soundfonts but I still can't get it to play the lower clef.

Is the SoundFont for cello only? What you need is a General MIDI SoundFont as described in the handbook. This will allow you to hear more than just the top staff.

No. It was doing it when I had the default piano. I have looked all over the web and am having trouble locating a General Midi in the .pf2 file format. the ones I have are .sfArk ... And when I set one as the default it tells me loading font failed. Now I can't find the default piano sf2 to get any sound...

Sfark is a compress format. You need to uncompress file of this type.

No Sound. Thank you for the info on unzipping the sfark. Now it will load the soundfonts but now I can't get any sound on playback. I exit out of Musescore after each load under preferences and then I go back into Musescore but when I hit playback I have no sound whatsoever... Ughhhh.

Please following the instructions in the handbook. There is also a troubleshooting section. See SoundFont

Although I am using just the instrumens suggested by the Musescore menu, I am also having troubles with the playback on bottom clef.

As just described above you need a GM SoundFont . Alternatively you should upgrade to MuseScore version 0.9.5

That works. I think my problem is solved. I had already read about that in "help" but once my original language is not english I was in doubt about the topic in the pdf-file. I thought it would be another kind of problem/solution.
Thank you.
