Sound does not match name of instrument
One of my instruments is a triangle. After a Time Signature change, the line is still labelled Triangle but plays the sound of a wood block. I have tried selecting a note and in Stave/Part properties used Change Instrument to Triangle (hoping it would play triangle, even though it was shown as selected) but it still plays wood block. How can I get it to play triangle?
Thanks

Score needed.

The triangle sounds are OK up to bar 169. From the time change at bar 170 the triangle line plays woodblock sounds.

Strange, can't find the reason.
Rewriting all these notes fixes it though

Thanks for looking at it. Perhaps you can note it as a bug.
Whilst you've got the score, can you offer a solution to another problem.
The vocal line is not really tied to specific notes, as a singer would expect. Hence it has been written as an Expression Text. The position of that text does not stay where I put it.
I can drag it to be central to the page it is on and save. When I next open it the position of the text will have moved and sometimes will have half of it on the next page.
Is there a different way of anchoring it?

Thwere already a wrong sound in measure 48 and some in measure 70
And correct in measures 207-212

Thanks, Jojo. I will correct those measures you've identified in my next edit.

Well, those are woodblock notes, as you can see if you copy the passage to another staff. Probably you copied/pasted them in from another staff, or otherwise entered them in some way other than directly onto that staff.

The triangle notes that sound like woodblocks were copied and pasted along the music from other triangle note groups that sound like triangles.
That is also how I am repairing them - by deleting the woodblock sounding notes and copy/paste from similar duration groups. It works.
Thanks for your interest.

Somehow it seems the notes were transposed, then, maybe you had a staff that mixed pitched and unpitched notation? If you figure out a way to reproduce this, let us know, but normally copy and paste from the same staff should work.
