Thank you both for your input (no pun intended... well, maybe a bit). I found that the LoopBe window was indeed set to "Mute," so unchecking it solved the problem at hand. I'm sure I will run in to other issues, but I am relieved to at least get it connected the way I wanted. Sherry, thanks for the template files. I've used Notation Composer for many years and am just now venturing out in to using it with another program.
