You could try sending to the email address:

... though I've no idea if that's a "no reply", unmonitored address.

Re: How to change the Simply Entry Tool default note value?
As the first note of any piece that I'm going to enter could be anything, I'm OK with pressing a button to set the value, as I do for all other notes in the piece.

Re: Finale/ProTools issue
Does it happen when there's no document open in Pro Tools, (but the app is running)?
Really, if it only happens when PT is involved, then it's a PT issue.
Could be a MIDI Thru issue, or Mac IAB (Inter-appliction Bus).

Re: moving Finale to a new computer
I have found that you need to run the Finale installer again, as Migration Assistant doesn't quite copy everything over. You can get that from the Finale website, under "My Account". There's no separate versions: just the one for Mac. As for licensing: Finale lets you install Finale on two computers...

Re: Mac OS Sonoma - problems using older fonts
What is the name of the font? What format is it? Apple now describes Type 1 PostScript fonts as "legacy", which is alarming. If you're using any T1 fonts, you should find TrueType or OpenType equivalents. Is this an 'old' music font in a SMuFL document? If it is just displaying the wrong glyphs, tha...

Re: Finale Will Not Recognise Aria Upon Instal...
If you've installed Finale twice, then you know your problem is not with the installation. Does the ARIA standalone app work? Can you load Garritan samples there? Do you have any of the Garritan libraries, like GPO5, etc? Is the ARIA VST listed in Finale's VST Banks dialog? Is Garritan listed in the...

Re: No Vibrato
Obviously you have to tell it not to use vibrato. NotePerformer uses a large number of MIDI CCs to control various aspects of the sound. They should all be listed in the documentation. Vibrato is turned off with CC20 set to 6. You will need to make sure that this switch is set, either in an expressi...

Re: How to change plugin names in .mus files without launching?
I don't quite understand what you're asking, but if you mean "How do I change the VSTs and samples assigned to each staff, to something else?": You can only do this automatically if there is a "Soundmap" for the specific library; and these aren't widely provided by many libraries and players.

Re: Export Manuscript Texture Setting to PDF????
Do you mean screenshot? That's going to be low-resolution, and very pixelated, compared to a vector PDF exported from Finale.
And why use an online PDF converter, when you're on a Mac, which can do this instantly?

Re: v27 Problem #44: ARIA 1.9.6.7 Wait Till You Hear This One!
Read this thread which discussed the current state of versioning in ARIA player, and includes a link for the ARIA Engine 1.9.6.7.

But realistically, you should file support tickets with MM for all of your problems.

Re: v27 Problem #42 I Think: Aria Player Error
That's a bit bleak! I sincerely hope that's not the case!
At the least, you could send a support ticket in to MM, who need to be aware of problems that people are having. That said, you do seem to be unusually unlucky in your experience.

Re: v27 Problem #42 I Think: Aria Player Error
You should only have to do it once for the entire JABB library. At worst, you would have to do it once for each additional Garritan library.
If you can't find the JABB samples anywhere on your disk, then you may have to reinstall JABB.

Re: v27 Problem #42 I Think: Aria Player Error
That error suggests that the JABB samples aren't installed; or at least, they aren't in the place where ARIA is looking for them. Follow the instructions here to check where ARIA is looking for the files; and then check that the JABB samples are in the same place. https://makemusic.zendesk.com/hc/en...

Re: Page format - score
Finale's Page Layout workflow is a classic example of exactly what's wrong with its user interface. Pretty much every single other app in the world that uses pages -- be it notation, or DTP, or whatever -- has a Page Format dialog, and when you press OK, the entire document is set to those values.

Re: Open Synchron Player From External Drive In Mac Finale
The host app just deals with the AU/VST plug-in, and the plug-in has its own configuration setup for finding its libraries. (In the same way that ARIA Player must have the location of the Garritan samples correctly defined in a .plist file.) So you need to follow advice from Vienna Instruments about...

Re: Screen redraw problems while scrolling?
It seems to be ok for me with a quick test on an M2 Pro Mini with two displays. Are these large files? What OS version are you on?
What's it like if you don't show the bar numbers in the Window frame? (View > Show > Measure Number Bar.)
Does it occur if you only have one display connected?
