Re: WAV file export -- some play, some don't

Could it be because I haven't been able to successfully download updates for version of 2014.5?
If I can get help with that, perhaps that could solve the problem.

Re: WAV file export -- some play, some don't

Before I send the files, could I be having this problem because the size of my finale 2014.5 file is 1405 KB?

tie problem

I have Windows, and use 2014.5.

I have a few slurs that I entered into scroll view,
but in page view that slurs break.
See attached for an example (problem in first horn part).

Do I need to fix these by hand (and how do I do that),
or is there an easier way?

WAV file export -- some play, some don't

I have Windows, and I use Finale 2014.5.

I have two finale files that export WAV files that play,
but another that exports a WAV file that doesn't play.
I need to get this last one to play.

I'm in a time-driven situation.

notation problem in timpani part

I have finale 2014.5 on windows.

My timpani part is displaying many note stems. Please see attached.

Did I hit the wrong computer keys to cause this?
Is there an easy fix in case this happens again?

Re: score manager -- establishing percussion part

I still have a couple problems. 1. When I go to speedy entry in my file, and then strike the appropriate piano key for a percussion note, I get silence. How can I get the percussion patches to play? 2. In your file, I get the different types of percussion within speedy entry, but along with the pian...

Re: score manager -- establishing percussion part

By seeing your edit on my file, I was able to work out what I need to do, at least part way. (I won't get into elementary details.)

I may be back shortly with a layout question, but perhaps not.

Thanks!

Re: articulation selection box is empty

Thanks!

I noticed a folder labeled "shapes" which contains four items.
I guess that's where all the smart shapes I need are located.

Re: articulation selection box is empty

I'm sorry so much time has elapsed since I posed my question, but other things were taking my time.

Please find attached an excerpt of the file that is giving me the problem. (I lopped off most content since it isn't relevant to the question.)
Any assistance is appreciated.

Re: articulation selection box is empty

I'm trying to enter a few up bow and down bow marks.
I selected the articulation tool,
and then clicked on a note to which I wished to apply an up bow marking.
The articulation selection box then appeared, and it was empty.

speedy entry

When I try to use speedy entry, notes do not enter, and the cursor goes back one bar within the same system.
