Finale Forum

Hello, I just finished a chart wherein timbales / Softsync / Cuban was working fine, and still is. However, in previous charts and new ones, I'm getting only two timbale sounds, instead of the whole kit (bass drum, cymbals, bells, rims, sides...). I'm thinking uninstall then reinstall Finale (2012)....

So, not only would I have to upgrade to the latest Finale, but you're saying I'd have to upgrade my Garritan and Aria too? Garritan Libraries haven't been updated for years. They are just files, apart from ARIA. There are free updates for the Aria player and plug-ins. Great to know. Thank you.

Thank you. That did the trick. All set. Up and running like usual. Have bookmarked that page. Now, all I gotta do is figure out how to afford a Mac. :lol: Skip the lattes! It's worth it. In all seriousness, refurbished is certainty a good way to go. You can get genuine Apple refurbs, at https://www...

As Zuill alludes to, the downside of Finale on the Mac is that new versions of the MacOS almost always break Finale, so you're forced to upgrade to the latest version, and not just of Finale. Whereas I'm still using Finale 2014.5, Office 2010, and my favorite paint program, Jasc Paint Shop Pro, fro...

I am sure that Windows is not the cause of the ASV file issue. I have been a user of Finale on windows for 25 years and have never had a problem with ASV files. I know that Finale was originally introduced on Mac. However, they seem to have put much, if not more attention to the Win version of Fina...

All of a sudden, My Finale is not backing up to AVS files. When I close, the program does save changes, however. While working, everytime Finale tries to save a backup I get the Cannot Find Specified Path prompt. Also when closing the program. Using Windows 8. Sounds like you're talking about autos...

Make sure the path and folder exists. Finale doesn't create either. You need to do that if you have specified a path and folder other than the default.

Thank you very much.

If the path is correct and the folder is where preferences looks for it, then you should be okay. If Saving and backing up (bak) files are going where they should go, then it appears Finale is working correctly. If this suddenly started, and nothing else has changed, then possibly your Preferences ...

In Preferences, the path is indicated. Make sure Finale can find the folder.

Hello, I see the paths in preferences. How do I make Finale see them, please?

Hi, I'm very sorry I was distracted; would have thanked you sooner.

Yes, them grace notes come in handy! But OK, I'd rather write them out that fuss with definitions and such. Great idea, thanks. Can really make them sound realistic that way.

Hi, I posted before but the thread seems to have disappeared. If you answered, so sorry.

Anyway, I can not figure how to get JABB 3 brass falloffs. Glissando sounds more like a slide. I have Finale 2012. Are falloffs only available if you use Broadway font? I hope not.

Thank you.

Hello, I'm completely stumped. I have Finale 2012 and JABB 3. I cannot get the brass to play fall offs. I've read something about fonts? Do I have to use Broadway Copyist document style in order to have fall off shapes that will play back? I hope not, as I prefer the regular document style. Also, I'...

Hi Billy, Thanks and agree about Billy May! Thanks very much. Good to hear from ya. I could never be more than a wannabe next to Billy May, but I hope I at least come up with a couple neat things here and there. In 1982 I actually telephoned Billy May to ask him if he knew who scored the cues for t...

Billy - Glad all is working. No need for additional instances of the player! And yes, I was referring to choosing garritan sounds in Score Manager, which automatically loads aria. Best! RVSL And special thanks to you for guiding me along. And glad to know I won't need additional instances of Aria P...

You bet, in tribute! And yes those scoops! And the Conrad Gozzo hit and release. Thanks to my dad, a WWII vet, I grew up listening to Billy May long before I knew the name! I came to arranging later in life and I'm proud to say Billy's influence on me was set very young, and I'm never afraid to let ...

Well, actually, all's working well now. But it was thanks to you that I got everything working. You see, last night I uninstalled / reinstalled ( for the probably 40th time). Both Aria players were installed with Finale 2012c. I had never played JABB through Aria as a stand alone. However, I now did...

Wow, this is getting interesting. I'll tell you what happens when I play JABB through Aria on my ancient Windows 8 computer--it's plays great! But on my new Windows 10 computer--well, please see the screen shots. By the way, I did activate both Aria players. So that message no longer appears. Howeve...

Hi, thank you. I was just thinking along those lines, but how would I go about doing that? Also, JABB does show in the score manager device column. So it is recognizing JABB. I think.

Hello, I have set up a new Windows 10 PC and installed Finale 2012c on it. I have installed JABB 3 also. JABB appears in sound mapping and also in device list in Score Manager. When selected, Garritan Instruments and SoftSync are both working; but when I select JABB 3--nothing, no audio. Thank you f...

OK, I used the resize system tool. All's good. Thank you for steering me in the right direction.

Thank you. I have forgotten how to remedy that. Last time this happened, there was a way to choose 8 1/2 x 11 and still get the whole score on paper.
