How can I enter notes in the 33rd measure and later?

When you start VOCALOID4 Editor, it automatically generates one part with 32 measures. You can change the length of this part. To change the length of the part, use the arrow tool (Right-click the Track Editor and then select "Arrow") to point to the rightmost end of the part (the area in light green) on the Track Editor. The mouse pointer changes to a red arrow. Then, you can drag the pointer horizontally to adjust the length of the part. If you want to enter notes in the 33rd measure or later, drag the pointer further to the right.

I entered notes and played them, but I cannot hear any sound.

There are several possible reasons. Follow these steps to find a solution: (1) On the Track Editor, turn off the "Mute" or "Solo" setting. (2) In the Mixer window, if the track fader or master fader is set to the smallest value, move the fader up to the 0 dB position. (3) In the Mixer window, if the "gain" knob is at the bottom-left position, turn it back to the "0" position (which is the 12 o'clock position). (4) In the Mixer window, clear all the "Mute" and "Solo" settings. (5) If you have selected an expired singer, no sound is output. Select a singer that has been activated successfully. You can view activated singers by selecting "Help" and then "About VOCALOID4 Editor...". (6) In the "Preferences" window, select the "Audio Settings" tab to check if the correct audio device is selected. (7) Open the standard Windows sound mixer, and make sure that VOCALOID4 Editor and its destination device are not muted or set to a low volume level.

I entered lyrics and then changed the singer, and now no sound is output.

Did you select a singer for a different language? The software ignores phonemes that do not match the language of the specified singer, and thus notes with these phonemes will not be voiced by a singer for a different language. In this case, select the "Lyrics" menu and then run "Convert Phonemes".
