Finale 2014 Glissandos
Posted: Thu Aug 13, 2015 4:05 am
I am having trouble implementing glissandos in Finale 2014.
Once I write in the two notes I want to connect, along with rests in between, I use the glissando tool to connect the two notes. Upon playback, instead of a smooth glissando, the playback consists of a quick repetition of the first note for the duration of the glissando and a single hit of the second note at the end. No notes in between, it's as if there were no notes in between for it to play. What is the issue here? I've tried manipulating glissando settings, but nothing seems to work. The other day, while writing a piece, I put a glissando in, expecting the same sad result, but out of the blue, IT WORKED! It was a miracle. I was beside myself with joy... but I immediately attempted to recreate the same exact glissando further in the piece, and it would not work. When I copied and pasted the previous glissando in a different location, it worked fine. But, if I attempted to transfer it from the current instrument (piano) to the organ, I again found that it wouldn't work properly... It has become a great hinderance, and I cannot find a solution anywhere. Please Help!!!!
Thanks!
