Re: Playback won't start
I am having the same problem. Neither VST nor MIDI plays. I have no Propellerhead nor Steinberg software so I haven't tried resetting ReWire. Could it affect Finale anyway? I've tried all the Audio Driver settings, and all three audio output devices (but not my USB headset.) Windows 10 Pro; Finale 25

Re: Finale: Audio Device is Taking a Long Time to Initialize
It appears there was a system- wide glitch in my laptop. I was having the same issue with Sibelius. I tried changing all sorts of settings but to no avail. Then, a day later, when I booted up my laptop, the issue just disappeared. So, yes, it was solved in the respect that it no longer exists, but I...

Finale: Audio Device is Taking a Long Time to Initialize
When I tried to start Finale, it hangs on the opening dialog box and after several minutes posts the message "audio device (DEVICE NAME) is taking a long time to initialize. Option buttons: Wait; Quit Finale; Disable device and quit Finale. The first time the audio device was Direct Sound. Tried (1)...

Re: Save File Fragment as Idea
Thanks for the idea. I am on a PC - Windows 10. I tried CTRL-ALT-S and also did save as, but I see no option to save only the selected fragment I'm trying to save for later use as a motif. In context, I'm writing for a full orchestra and have just introduced a new theme only for four F Horns. I like...

Save File Fragment as Idea
I am writing an extended work for orchestra and frequently try a new idea that I ultimately reject for the composition - perhaps for a later point, perhaps for another composition - but don't want to simply throw away. I would like the capability of simply highlighting (salecting) the idea/fragment ...

Re: a.2 in Finale
Primarily I'm looking for balance without having to artificially inflate the written dynamic, but having two instruments would be appealing, from the standpoint of slight mismatches in tone, intonation and timing (like a real performance). From your reply, though, it appears that Finale doesn't resp...

a.2 in Finale
I am writing a piece for full orchestra. At times, I wish for two voices (e.g., 1st and 2nd Bb Clarinet) both to be playing the same notes. Normally one uses the a.2 notation. I also want the score to play back realistically. This means that the two parts would reinforce each other in volume. Howeve...

Copying Shortcut
Finale 25, Windows 10 Years ago, when I wrote scores by hand, I used to write 'Col meas 17-20' for example to indicate music should be copied from one location to another verbatim. Currently the same task is carried out in Finale by finding the source measures, selecting them, Ctrl-C to copy, findin...

Selection of starting measure in playback too is greyed
Finale v25, Windows 10. I cannot select the measure from which to start playback, because that part of the playback tool is grayed out. I have seen comments on the internet about the same thing happening with earlier versions of Finale. This is my own personal copy of Finale. I teach music theory in...
