I meant to add the reason for all the frustration was that by trial and error I found I had to go one cursor click past the * for the INSTRUMENT name to show in the DISPLAY PANEL. I spent quite a lot of time trying to delete the *. (just in case anyone else is trying to do it) Silly me!! I also went one click back from the * to insert the new voice- I think thats what John was getting at to make sure the sound was there when the playing started. Cheers Jean.
