For some unknown reason, some songs reset their PC assignments on boot up.
What I do:
I start at the state of in the first picture.
Edit → Reset Program Change Assignments → Reset Program Change Numbers (first song part only) → 100 / 0 / 0 → OK
I now see the state in the second picture.
I save and reboot the program. The state is as in the first picture again.
The bug occurs since the first version that had the “Sync PC Assignments with “All Songs” Setlist” option added.
Ah, sorry. Version 4.5.8! Was on mobile and couldn’t check online what the latest version was, but just updated in an attempt to fix it. @pianopaul
That… does actually work without any error. Huh. That was unexpected given that I had the problem with different setlists and different starting numbers I used over time…
If can reproduce on Mac.
When you change manually the PC number then you will be asked if this should be applied to all set lists.
When you press the “Yes” button, all is fine.
When you press the “No” button then after reload the old PC is shown.
Not sure about your first message with Mac, but regarding edit by hand:
Definitly not!
It’s an older GP file though, started at early GP3. As mentioned in the original post, the GP Version where the problem occured first can be exactly pinpointed.
