just pressing the space bar has never started nor stopped playback, as far back as I can remember. You need to click in the score as well.

Thanks for your reply - I should have been more clear - I'm used to the Mac version where space does start / stop play. Trying Finale out on Windows and trying to get used to it.

Maybe a keyboard mapping program or something.

Anyone have any luck? Every piece of audio / video software I have ever used, and I am old, uses the space bar to stop / start.
