Re: Page format - score
Finale's Page Layout workflow is a classic example of exactly what's wrong with its user interface. Pretty much every single other app in the world that uses pages -- be it notation, or DTP, or whatever -- has a Page Format dialog, and when you press OK, the entire document is set to those values. S...

Re: Open Synchron Player From External Drive In Mac Finale
The host app just deals with the AU/VST plug-in, and the plug-in has its own configuration setup for finding its libraries. (In the same way that ARIA Player must have the location of the Garritan samples correctly defined in a .plist file.) So you need to follow advice from Vienna Instruments about...

Re: Best version of Finale for Mac Ventura

Re: Screen redraw problems while scrolling?
i've seen chatter online speculating that the M1 chip has some problems running displays, so maybe it's an M1 issue. That sounds fairly speculative. (And Adobe is not known for reliability in their Creative Ca$h Cow software.) The Base M1 might be limited in the number of pixels and displays it can...

Re: Screen redraw problems while scrolling?
It seems to be ok for me with a quick test on an M2 Pro Mini with two displays. Are these large files? What OS version are you on?
What's it like if you don't show the bar numbers in the Window frame? (View > Show > Measure Number Bar.)
Does it occur if you only have one display connected?

Re: Help setting up two Garritan Aria Players in Logic Pro X
It's possible this is something you need to configure in Logic, rather than the ARIA plug-in itself. You might get a better (and less belated) response on a Logic forum.

Yes: this issue has been fixed by the 27.4.1 update, so I don't think this needs to be a sticky anymore.

Re: Auto save
It's worth saying that "iCloud is not a backup". It doesn't do versioning; and you can only recover deleted files for 30 days. You can't recover overwritten files, for example.

Re: finale and cubase
Regarding Dorico, I've heard good things about it and how it integrates better with Cubase compared to Finale, but I haven't tried it. There's no specific integration between Dorico and Cubase yet. You can drag MIDI directly from Cubase into Dorico (or from any other app that supports dragging). An...

Can you post the XML? Perhaps there's something in it that will explain it. At least open it up in a text editor and search for "121".

Re: Export Manuscript Texture Setting to PDF????
Doesn't this mean that the notation is now bitmapped? Obviously, the image is a bitmap, but it would be better to keep the music as vector.
You could add the image as a background object in Illustrator.

No; but there are ways to add a tinted background to a PDF. Some PDF editors will do this (e.g. Adobe Acrobat, Master PDF Editor). As you're on a Mac, I've written a short python script that will add a tint panel to a PDF, which, you can put in an Automator Quick Action or a Shortcut.app workflow. (...

I'm not aware of any easy solutions, having spent over 10 years trying to do this sort of thing routinely in Finale. Either you have to create a combined separate document for the parts, (with the risk of inconsistencies from the score); or just waste loads of paper. Or possibly do actual old-fashio...
