So clearly, I'm not an organist, but here's my scary organ ignorance story… The fire alarm company was installing a new fire alarm system in the church sanctuary. Our organist came in to practice and saw a pair of feet dangling from the ceiling. "Oh, hey! Whatcha doing up there?" "New fire alarms, don't worry, I'm just about done… Hey, what are all these pipes?" Organist: "OH MY GOD! COME DOWN FROM THERE RIGHT NOW!!!" The guy had stepped all over everything, and having accidentally crushed one pipe really obviously, had thoughtfully tried to squeeze it back to a reasonable shape with a wrench. :horrified: Good thing the company had insurance. It was thousands and thousands of dollars of damage. Unfortunately, it was about a year before we could get on the schedule for the organ rebuilders to come and fix it all for us. So we only had about a half an organ for a while.

But… you have 32' stops?! Holy crow! 1. Okay, so the invisible is currently visible, and nothing is visible that looks suspicious… 2. A chromatic scale over a wide range does not seem to trigger any problems, everything is in the correct octave, when I do that. 3. And yet, in the part I'm actually composing, things aren't always where they should be. Sometimes the problem is in the bass stave for the manuals, sometimes in the pedal. Haven't seen it pop up in the treble manual staff yet, but I haven't written much yet either, so maybe it would if I kept writing. 4. The MuseScore forums don't seem to contain any complaints about this, and there are complaints there about everything else, so either I'm missing something REALLY obvious to everyone else, or I've got a bug in my score. Probably a bug. There are lots of bugs. You'll be writing along in 3/4, and all of a sudden a single measure in only one voice of your score will decide it is in 4/4, and resist all your efforts to delete it, or change it to 3/4, for example. At which point you cry, pour gasoline on your laptop, and light it on fire. I'll see if I can delete/function delete/start a new score from scratch to get things working properly. Thanks for all the help!!
