Notes do'nt give sound
In a piece of music when i playback this music some notes do'nt give sound.
What can be the problem. In this case it's about high D and high E.

Please show the score that has this problem
Most likely the notes are to low or to high for the selected instrument.
In the file attached the high notes at the end of the melody ( the notes D and E) don't give sound.

right click on the first measure, Stave Properties...: I changed the instrument and then brought back to the original, check it

Thank you Shoichi.
Yes chanching the instrument is a solution.
I still have the question why the sound don't come in the first place!
In reply to Thank you Shoichi. Yes by dirkdesart
Original format xml? It probably depends on how you have filled out the score.
A question for the guys from Baker Street 239 ;-)

Shoichi's Version is an octave lower

Elementary... ;-)

These are simply out of range for an Alto Sax.
I believe there is a newer SoundFont in development that has thise high pitches for Sax included.
In reply to These are simply out of range by Jojo-Schmitz
The notes which don't play are just simply too high for an Alto Sax to physically play, even with the extension I added to the soundfont instrument to take it up to Eb6.
Normally it is not expected to write parts as high as this for saxes - the top octave of the range is extremely difficult to produce consistently, and is avoided by all composers and arrangers who know what they are doing.
Obviously whoever wrote this did not!

If I make a new melody with this same high notes and the same instrument this notes give sound and they give for the high E note the value Pitch:E5.
In the sheet I posted for this same note the program gives the value Pitch:E6
Maybe there is something wrong with the notation or there is a bug in the software.

I think the XML you imported it from might have had it wrong or maybe the MuseScore XML import has a bug, possible, so please us show the XML file you imported.

Ciao a tutti.
My curiosity is: should not those notes be colored when out extension?
In reply to Ciao a tutti. My curiosity by Shoichi
Not if the range settings are hosed too ;-)
In reply to If I make a new melody with by dirkdesart
The reason it works with a score created from scratch is that you are entering the *written* pitch, and that E is within the *written* range for alto saxophone. But alto saxophones are transposing instruments, and it appears the transposition information for this score is messed up. If you view it in Staff Properties, you will see it is set to no transposition, but when you hit the concert pitch button, you'll see bad things hapen. Probably the MusicXML it was imported from was not created correctly and that is why the transposition information is messed up, but we'd need to see the original MusicXML file to know for sure.
The reason the notes are not marked as out of range is that someone modified the range in Staff Properties to tell MuseScore an alto saxophone can play all the way to G9 :-)

Marc, my solution you find in the attachment. I dit change the treble clef with one who lower the staff by one octave. It works but it's not logical.
In reply to Marc, my solution you find in by dirkdesart
You could also just change the transpositioning, down a major sixth. Or change Instrument, like Shoichi, has the advantage to also get the range settings right.
We'd still like to see the XML file that caused the mess
In reply to Marc, my solution you find in by dirkdesart
Well, again, it seems the error is in the MusicXML file you imported this from. It would be very helpful if you could post that. That is, we are guessing that there is a bug in the program that produced that MusicXML file, and that is why you are having to do illogical things now to work around that bug in that other program.
At least, we seem to be assuming you started by importing a MusicXML file from another program. I'm not sure you ever said you did. If you did start by importing a MusicXML file from another program, again, we would like to see that file. But if you created this score from scratch from within MuseScore, we would also like to know more about how you did that, since this score has some things going on with the transposition that just should not ever happen, so we want to know how it got this way.

If you look at File/Info, there is evidence or an XML import
In reply to If you look at File/Info, by Jojo-Schmitz
Jojo and Marc
Attached you find the xml file where the mscz file comes from. This xml file comes from this tune in the music program "Encore 5".
I'm curious you can find an error in the xml file.
In reply to Jojo and Marc Attached you by dirkdesart
for me it does not open (or download)
In reply to for me it does not open (or by Shoichi
Strange, I can open the file from this website. In this form it is a long textfile.
Normally you shoot download the file and open it with Musescore, but downloading is not provided in this forum.
In reply to Strange, I can open the file by dirkdesart
XML is a very generic file type, but if you right-click on the link and use "Save as…" or your browser's equivalent you can download the XML file.

Eureka, I found the cause of this problem. First my melody was written in the program "Encore5".
The notes where configured 1 octave to high but I never noticed that and Encore5 had no problem playing this notes. I converted the file via xml to Musescore. For Musescore this notes where to high for the sax. So the cause of the problem is clear.
It is still strange for me that Musescore don't indicate that the notes are 1 octave higher.
In reply to Eureka, I found the cause of by dirkdesart
I'm not a MusicXML expert, but I think Encore has exported this file incorrectly. It includes incorrect / insufficient informatyion about the transposition. There should be two transposition tags: one for "diatonic" set to -5, and one for "chromatic" set to -9. Instead, there is only the "chromatic", and it is set to 3. I'm pretty sure that's just wrong, and that this is the cause of the octave error.
