Happened yesterday, I wasn't present. We have the scoped lighted pistons. From what I can gather, the organist wanted to add to an existing (divisional) piston's registration. She pushed that (wanted to add to) piston and apparently pulled several stops with the setter on. Releasing the setter, etc, now 2 pistons (1 & 2) are activated when either of them is pushed. Appears the added hand registered stops are what was programmed for #2 piston.
So pistons 1 & 2 were effectively joined together. I went thru the process of re-scoping that division and all works as previous. Find this joining together of pistons doesn't occur when strictly hand registering only when pushing a given piston and attempting to add to that existing registration. Again, some of the above is assumptions. Any suggestions as to avoiding the problem? Being a headless instrument, there is no way to select the do not save feature.
Some of the answers are here:

We don't use the sample set's native pistons because the ODF doesn't not allow for lighted pistons. If a console's piston is programmed to use the sample set's native pistons, the console's piston only blinks but doesn't stay lit. Using the scoped pistons does light the console's pistons and the active piston stays lit until either another of that same division or a general piston is pressed which is the correct operation. This is complicated by the fact that this instrument is headless and there is no way to see what is happening or to make selections that one could do with a screen, keyboard and mouse such as not saving a change.
On a personal note, some of you of aware that my wife (of 50+ years) passed in late January. In that regard, one of our doctors prescribed for me a "sedative" med saying it would help me better cope with the loss. Finding out (now) this was a mind altering drug given patients contemplating such things as suicide. Furthest thing from my thoughts. Any way, this drug had some very negative results for me, as not being able to focus or think clearly. On my own, I stopped taking this med and things are starting to clear up. Some may have noticed I had trouble initially contemplating the (simple) issue of scoped pistons and several other things like that. Quite scary. Lesson learned, don't trust everything a doctor prescribes. Seems this doc prescribes this med routinely as there is a high rate of suicides among Alzheimer's care givers which I did for the past 5 years.
