I've "Saved Song with Patches and Harmony" WITH the box checked to save the volume settings, but it won't save them! Every time I reopen the file, the old default volume settings for the instruments are back. I've even saved the file under a new name; it doesn't help.
What else to do?
Thanks,
Jim

Jim,
I believe there is a setting in the song properties that sets the beginning volumes by default, but it can be turned off if you can find it. It's been so long sice I dabbled with that problem that have forgotten the details.

From the PG Music FAQ:
In some cases, your volume settings may not "stick". This is a style specific problem. It can occur with a limited number of styles if Volume Changes are enabled in the Style. In this case, the style is sending a Volume (Controller 7) message when you press Play, which is causing your volume setting to revert to the default volume for the style.
There are two things you can do. The first is to edit the style (Styles | StyleMaker | Edit Current Style), press the [MISC] button, and uncheck "Allow Volume Changes with Style". Note that this is a permanent change to the style. You may want to make a backup of the style before changing it. The second option is to go to Opt. | Preferences | MIDI Options, and uncheck "Style Volume Changes". This may not be desirable because it is a global setting and may have other unintended effects.
Another possible source of confusion may be if you are trying to set the "Master Volume", using Ctrl+Alt+D, or the "Combo" part. This function sets every part to the same volume, so you normally wouldn't use it if you are adjusting the relative volumes of the parts.
