Re: previous Windows window popping up when playing newly loaded Finale file
Good idea, but no, I checked (and disabled) all progammed shortcuts involving the spacebar etc., but that's not it. Any action to start playback (via menu, transport panel, or shortcut) switches to the last seen window. Weird ...

No, with whatever the previously open window was (any program, Thunderbird, Word, etc.)

Re: previous Windows window popping up when playing newly loaded Finale file
No, that's not it. I never use Human Playback. Example - I am looking at your post (Firefox browser), I posted a reply. Then I loaded Finale, chose a file, opened it, and when hitting Play the windows switches back to Firefox (Finale keeps playing). I can then click on the Finale window to see it ag...

previous Windows window popping up when playing newly loaded Finale file
This is probably some sort of Windows issue (something to do with focus" ?) that I don't really understand, but the following is an annoying occurrence: I am working in Finale and have some other programs loaded (usually Firefox and Thunderbird). Ever since (I think) from going to windows 10 and Fin...

Re: Acoustic Guitar Sustain
Here's an example that seems to work just fine, using the Finale Classical Guitar Template, with the Pedal and Pedal Up articulations (Ped. and *). Human Playback is set to Standard.

Re: Explode Music doesn't include hairpin markings
The JW Staff Polyphony Plug-in will do what you want. It splits the music and copies everything, such as expressions, articulations, smart shapes, even text boxes (and it doesn't matter what, if anything, you have chosen in the Edit Filter).

Re: script macros in V27 help
You can do it less "labour intensive" by using JW Change - make your selections and save them with the Sequence Editor as a sequence. You can assign a shortcut to bring up JW Change and all you have to do is click on Apply the sequence which will remember your steps and choice of notehead. Since tha...

Re: TGTools menu shortcut for ties
I don't believe you can call them. But you can file a support ticket on their website and they will answer one on one, like email. Hmmm, all I found was a phone number on their support page.

Re: TGTools menu shortcut for ties
There is a trial version of the full TGTools Installed it, the 0 keyboard shortcut for ties still doesn't work (even after adjusting various keyboard repeat settings) Back to the T. I think the real cause is the interference with that Finale pre-programmed setting for the 0 which opens and closes a...

Re: TGTools menu shortcut for ties
If you go to the plugin folder, the TGToolsLE.bundle file should show you the version number. Mine shows 27.08. So does mine. I have also experienced that problem with defining a ties shortcut to 0 in Speedy (as soon as I updated to Fin27.3, some time ago already). After trying various things I fin...

Re: Print to Adobe PDF
See this topic: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=22408
The only way to resolve this (for me), was to un-install 27.4 and re-install 27.3 (luckily I still had the original installer, unfortunately you won't be able to get it from their download page)

Re: Anyone know if the display of tuplet and note value in Speedy Entry can use a larger font?
In Speedy Options you can change the percentage of "Use fixed scaling of" to a higher value, which increases the size of the numbers, alas also of the whole frame ...). But it seems that should work for you. No?

Re: Anyone know if the display of tuplet and note value in Speedy Entry can use a larger font?
I'm not exactly sure what you're asking - size of the note heads? (I would imagine not ....), the size of the number you can change in Document Options > Fonts > Notation > Tuplet (it also works retroactively for tuplets you have already entered).

Re: PDFs in 27.4
Here my response: Thanks for your reply. I know that I can work with the Microsoft Print to PDF feature, but it's really too bad that your "improvements" have ruined a widely used feature. After all, creating PDFs is, after inputting and laying out the music, perhaps the most important element to ac...
