The first thing to check is Midi/Audio -> Device Setup -> Audio Setup : Output Source.

Microtonal intervals are possible with the Pitch Bend...

You could use an expression (blank), and under Playback, Type -> Transposition : 1.

According to MakeMusic, Finale 27 and MacOs14 Sonoma are not compatible. They have found a few problems, and yours may have to be added to the list...

Double check your midi channels and instrument sounds...

And make sure that the instruments are defined in the Aria Player and that midi channels in the ScoreManager match the midi channels in the Aria Player.

A few ideas : You didn't mention if you selected "Play Finale via Audio Units" in the Midi/Audio menu. Midi/Audio -> Device Setup -> Audio Setup : check your output device. And make sure that the instruments are defined in the Aria Player and that midi channels in the ScoreManager match the midi cha...

Top staff of score and top staff of parts should be enough in most cases. 2 boxes to check.
And it should be set like that by default, there was no need to change it.

1) To clarify the concept of Linked Parts...When you generate parts, you get linked parts, which are included in the score file (not in a "folder" somewhere else). You can view them and edit them in the Document menu -> Edit Part -> ... You can print the linked parts (or generate a pdf) from the sco...

+1 for Keyboard Maestro.

I just wrote to Michael as well. Thanks for your feedback.

I have RGP Lua 0.67.

Since I have installed Monterey, Chord Kerner generates an error message a soon as I enter a suffix ID.
Does anybody have a similar experience in Monterey ?

We agree, I follow your logic. dim should in theory mean 3 notes. 4 notes imply dim 7 (as you know, of course ;). My experience is similar to yours : to save time and remain compact, the 7 is often omitted in the suffix, even when 4 notes are used. P.S. : As I mentioned earlier, I personally use CoΔ...

I suspect that our colleague doesn't want an A in the chord.

You will have to create a new suffix (Chord Tool, double click on the score-> Select -> Create). Save the library to be able to load it in other files. Before loading the library, delete the existing library to avoid duplicates. You can define the playback of the new chord via Edit -> Set Play. P.S....

My setup :
• Main monitor (score) : Asus 27 ", 2560 x 1440, pivot
• Second monitor (palettes, parts, audio software...) : Asus 24", 1920 x 1200
The combination is fine. 2 monitors is a big bonus, if you can afford it and and have enough desk space.
Less than 1000 € these days (for both).

Is version 3 of Perfect Layout available ? The homepage still mentions 2.6...
There is a submenu for version 3 in the "Features" menu, but the related page says that v.3 is in Beta.

The buttons exist on the Mac, too, but they only make a difference with Shape expressions, not with Text expressions.

Place the 2 lines in different layers and in the Scoremanager, give each layer a different midi channel.

MakeMusic made Finale compatible with Apple Silicon from version 27.2 on (we are now at 27.3).

Updates in Finale v27.2 include:
Finale is now installed as a universal application, allowing it to run natively on computers using either Intel or Apple Silicon processors.

Finale 26 is compatible with your system. It will be hard to find. Ask MakeMusic and explain your limitation.

Document -> Page Format -> Score, define A3 (portrait I assume) and Scale Page to ... (reduce the percentage).
To see the new values applied, Page Layout Tool -> Redefine Pages -> All Pages.

Assuming that I correctly understand your description of your MacOs, the MakeMusic website specifies that Finale 27 is compatible with MacOx 12.6 (Monterey). It is my configuration, by the way.

My experience is that Finale doesn't memorize the position of palettes (and the playback widow) when working on 2 monitors (Mac).
