Re: [Bluemusic-users] problems opening sample files

Hi Michael and all,

(If this doesn't make it to the list, could you forward it on Michael?)

The instructions you gave aren't quite right.  If you load an older
file, all the instruments in the arrangment should be properly
migrated over.  In the older system, instruments in the arrangement
were references to the instruments in the per-project instrument
library.  When they're migrated, those references are resolved and
copies of instrument are made in the new orchestra.  I added the
"asking for importing the library" only as an extra precautionary
measure, if the the project had instruments that were in the
per-project library but not in the user's arrangement.

If it happens to be the case that after migrating an older file that
the arrangement is blank, then that is a bug.
