Re: Garritan Gofriller Cello with Finale v26
Dear motet, Thank you for your advice. Sure, the clef is right (standard F-Clef) and no 8va sign. Transposition is none. I tried to transpose octave higher. It was successful but strange enough it does not sound below noted C3. (maybe Finale understand C3 as C2 the lowest note of Cello) Maybe, only ...

Garritan Gofriller Cello with Finale v26
Hello. I would like to use good old Garritan Gofriller Cello on Kontakt Player (5) with Finale v26 (Windows 10). Current problem is that with standard notation of f-clef, Gofriller plays one octave lower than noted and it does not sound when the note goes lower than C3. I wonder why I cannot find Ga...

Hi, there. The default paper size of Finale 26 is Letter Size. I would like to change this to A4. How can I do this?

Custom Lines and piano pedal relationship
Hello there,
I still do not understand how to relate custom lines (shown in the image) and piano pedal on and off.
Some lines do work, and some don't. How I can make sure to connect the lines and pedal on/off message?
Sincerely,
Jun Yamamoto

Re: Finale printing (to PDF) mystery
Thank you for your advice, motet,
It should be a good idea to lock it just before print.

Re: Finale printing (to PDF) mystery
Thank you, Hector, for your advice. I tried. Interestingly enough, the locking itself produced the same result as the printing. In other words, if I lock all the systems, the arrangement of measures changes to the one when I get in case of printing. So, the get-around should be that I should lock al...

Hello,
Here is a mystery.

The same part of violin part but apparently DIFFERENT.

Any input will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hello there, I am trying to open, edit, and save a 2008 Finale file with Finale v26. When I am trying to save by v26, it says "this file is read only so that cannot save." How can I reset such "read only" status of the file on Finale v26 (because I do not maintain Finale 2008 any more). Thanks for y...

Re: How to make custom line 22 to work with Piano Pedal?
The story is now very deep, I guess.
I tried to add "text" (#161 even blank in Maestro percussion), but not successful.
The dialog box I am working on is correct one, or maybe n ot.

Re: How to make custom line 22 to work with Piano Pedal?
Thank you, Zuill.
I barely understand that the shape (endpoint) is tied to a pedal switch.
Anyway, I saved your file as a "seed" to my "Finale" directory, and from time to time will use it for the purpose.
Thank you again.

Re: How to make custom line 22 to work with Piano Pedal?
Human Playback is very finicky (just like "Human" players). Unfortunately, Robert P., who created the whole thing, gave us little control over the beast. However, knowing a little about what HP is looking for can lead to surprising results. See attached file an let me know what you think. If it beh...

Re: How to make custom line 22 to work with Piano Pedal?
If you want that line, you can get the sustain effet with an expression -> Playback -> Type -> Controller -> 64 Pedal sustain + Enter a value (rather high). You will need a second expression to stop the sustain (value = 0) I understand that two different expression mark do the job. I wonder how a c...
