Re: Can't get Note Performer to show up on Finale 27
UPDATE: Note Performer IS an option in the "Audio Units Banks & Effects" window, but it is still not an option in the "Sound Map Priority" window. I've seen that. Reinstalling NotePerformer again after Finale fixed that for me. If you had an earlier version of Finale installed, I got this from Supp...

Re: NotePerformer refuses to change sounds from the score manager
I am trying to change NotePerformer's sounds on the Score Manager. I have a test document with just strings, where I have one string staff per corresponding NP patch. When I set each NP patch do a different one, it refuses to change the sound; it only sticks with the default sound that it was assig...

Re: Another F27 blog entry
Finale has a very low Output Level. That's why it has to be turned up so much. Same with Exported Files. That's separate from Mixing Levels, where some Inst are too soft to Balance . Both need improvement. I've never experienced this. I hope Finale 27 will be 24/96, not the 16/96 that it has been. ...

Re: Finale for iOS?
I still have manuscript paper stashed everywhere I go, but these days more often than not, I sing musical ideas into my iPhone's voice memos app. I then speak added information about the idea after I'm done singing. I then notate the idea into Finale. For me, that's so much easier and faster than t...

Re: Finale 2008: laptop won't read third install CD
What was on disk 3—training videos? I recycled most of my old installer sets so can’t go back and refresh my memory. Here’s an old post saying that disks 2 & 3 could take forever. https://forum.makemusic.com/default.aspx?f=5&m=201038 There are many reasons a 13 year old CD cannot be read. I used to ...

Re: Settings to export PDF scores, monochrome or not
… I was wondering if, when you export scores, you set the pdf printer on monochrome or not … If I understand you correctly, you need a PDF file in true Black-&-White - right? To get true Black-&-White, do not “print” to a PDF file. Instead, use the Graphics Tool to export as PDF. Thank you :) The q...

Re: Trying to install BBCSO VST but Finale 2014 does not read it.
Just a guess but…
If it’s a 64 bit only VST, then Finale 2014 and earlier will not be able to read it.
JBridge may be able to help.

Re: Finale v.25 and Mac OS Catalina
I was at the Macworld conference in Boston where Finale debuted (1988?) and I remember chatting with the developer there. Windows at that time was version 1.0 or 2.0 and was very crude compared to the Mac. PCs also had 16-bit processors, which had limited memory, compared to the Mac's 32-bit proces...

Never heard of it. Glad I’m not the only one! Frankly, I was surprised to see a question about it on a notation app board. IZotope plugins are very popular for DAWs but I would never think of using any of them in Finale — unless one is generating backing tracks and recording a vocal into Finale, th...

Re: Nectar Elements
Nectar Elements recently flagged me that it was in demo mode and that I needed to authorize it. I've been using it for years, so this was a surprise. Meanwhile, any file in which it is activated inserts silences at periodic intervals, making playback virtually useless. I was wondering if others hav...

Re: Finale 25.4.1.152 loads VERY slowly
One more symptom I forgot to mention -- after I use Finale and close it, the next opening tends to be very fast, even like 3 seconds. It seems that the longer the interval that I use the computer for other stuff, then the longer the next Finale load will take. Yes, that's normal. That's what a memo...

Re: Minimal laptop requirements to avoid total frustration
If one, that’s not a bug. Each instance of a VI uses one core. Multiple instances let the OS balance the load among the cores. Finale pegs 100% of a single core on ANY CPU during playback, regardless of the number of VST/AU units being used. (Even if you're not using any, but playing to Smart Soft ...

Re: Minimal laptop requirements to avoid total frustration
On My Mac, Finale uses under 500 Mb of RAM, while playing back 16 tracks using Garritan. It does, however, use one entire core of the CPU while doing so (a known bug). So you definitely want to get a 4-core CPU, so that the whole computer doesn't grind to a halt when Finale monopolises the CPU. ......
