Finale Forum

I keep having a re-occuring issue in two of my finale files. The document is functions fine except intermittently I can't seem to select measure or staffs. It also seem to only allow me to select one measure, but then the measure is permanently highlighted and I can't unselect it or select any other...

I can't seem to space out my notes in my measure properlly. i've try the select>utilities>music spacing and all of those options don't do anything. How do I space this out legibly? thank you an attachement of a print screen of what is going on is included

Every time I go into human playback mode finale crashes on me. This problem has not been an issue before, I haven't changed anything on m computer and I only have the one application open, finale and my internet browse open. It's stopping loading at 73% - "processing hairpins" any suggestions on wha...

I keep trying to compress it but it can't get smaller than 100 kb.

In playback, My metronome is counting as if in 2/4 but I am in 4/4. It is counting 2 beats per bar when i am clearly in 4/4 and I have set the tempo to quarter note = 110. on playback each bar is being counted in 2 beats so everything is moving in double time. I'm syncing this to video so it's impor...

No not in the score the parts came from

turns out all of my parts except my cello part has extracted wrong and is missing bars! Even when I've tried copying existing notes in my score and paste them into the extracted part it still would not paste the correct notes. I ended up opening entirely new document and when I pasted it finally did...

I'm extracting individual parts from my string quartet. Very strange, My viola part is missing several bars near the end of my piece. It seem to be missing bars in between one section, and then also in another. I've gonna back to my score to make sure there are notes there and there definitely are, ...

That worked! thank you!

I exported MIDI files from cubase and imported them into finale. Everything was quantized and it all imported properly with no timing issues. The playback however is not performing properly. The notes are holding for much longer than written creating huge cluster chords that hang on for a long time,...

I'm following these steps to load the file: Choose View menu > Studio View. Audio tracks are only visible in Studio View. Choose MIDI/Audio menu > Audio Track > Add Audio Track. An empty audio track appears beneath the TempoTap staff. Choose MIDI/Audio menu> Audio Track> Load Audio. The Open File di...

I have loaded an MP3 file into my finale score, for some reason when I play the file in the score, it is transposed! The file plays fine in itunes, I have set the tempo to the same tempo as the piece was recorded in and it's in the same key as I've put in the score. What could be causing this? thank...

Thank you! that worked

I also receive this error message after attempting to save it :

While attempting to access “The Weight of Water dec 5 2014.mus” the File Manager reported an error.

The file appears to be corrupt; attempting to continue, but resulting document may be unstable.

I keep trying to save my document and I receive this error message : While attempting to access “~TemporarySaveFile~” the File Manager reported an error.

What can i do? I've attempted to save it under a new file name, that won't work.

thank you!

I want to change the direction of the stems of these notes (the fitst one pointing down, second pointing up, and third point down) but they are automatically beamed together and I need them separat to change their direction, how do I break the beams? I've tread using the special tools palette and no...

I have a midi keyboard, but I can't seem to get it to work in finale and I've had a hard time finding out the step by step instructions on how to set up my midi keyboard and input notes using my midi keyboard, can someone give me a straightforward instruction on how to do this easily or point me in ...

I want to manualy group my rhtyhms for legibility. At the moment in 2/4 time I want to group my 32nd notes in groups of 4 as opposed to 8, and I want to break beams in some cases. The "Beam Break" tool doesn't seem to do anything when I try to apply it, Hoping there is a simply enough way to do thes...

For some reason when I am in the playback window, and I click the little arrow to give me more options, it does not allow me to access the tempo area. I want to hear my piece at different tempos just to get an idea, I don't want to add in tempo markings, how do I enable the playback tempo changer?

How do I create one staff in 7/8 and another staff in the same piece 4/4, right now if I change one the other changed to the same things. I am writing a polymetrical piece and it calls for two different time signatures thankyou!
