Hi All!

I've put a metronome in my score. It plays fine, I mean, I can hear it.
However, when I export to MIDI (or to MP3), it's not heard.
Could anybody help me how to configure Finale so I can export to MIDI, so that the metronome is heard?

Thank you in advance!

Regards,
Joelson.

I believe you will have to add another staff, and enter the metronome as percussion.

It will depend on which product you have. Which one, and which version, are you using?

In the staff menu, there should be a New Staves>with Setup Wizard. Add the new staff for percussion, and enter the sound and tempo you want for the metronome ticks.

Mike: man, that worked just great!!
Thank you soooo much!
It's a complex song, which mixes 3/4 + 3/8 + 2/4 + 5/4 measures, alternately.
Now, my choir can learn the song better!
Thank you!
Have a good day!
Best regards,
Joelson.
