Playback issue in Finale 2014.5

I normally do the majority of my writing in Finale using MIDI/Audio/Play Finale through MIDI. I am able to hear the playback on both the computer’s internal speakers with the playback option switched to “Speakers/Headphones” and also using my Monitor speakers/Headphones with the playback option swit...

Lost Templates

I'm not sure how this happened. I just created a new file from the Template folder (File/New/Document from Template/) and everything went fine. Saved as file then went back to create another new file the same way but now there are no templates in the folder. It goes directly to the folder where I sa...

Re: Rehearsal Marking Enclosures

Thanks Peter but it didn't work for me. All I got back was:
original rehearsal marking was 5, when adding #123 before and #125 afterwards I got:

#123 5 #125

not sure what I'm doing wrong. I tried with Broadway Copyist Text or JazzText - results the same.
Thanks,

Rehearsal Marking Enclosures

Does anyone know of a way to make the square rehearsal marking enclosures have rounded corners?

Finale 2014 & System crashing during playback

Has anyone else been experiencing, during playback in Finale 2014 ver. d, their computer crashing and creating a Data Dump? This started to happen with me 2 days ago while putting the finishing formats on a Jazz Big Band score. I'm a bit timid in going back in the file and continuing the editing, I ...

Rhythmic Notation Playback

I am discovering a problem when working with Rhythmic Notation in Finale 2014. I have written out a part of a piano part where I want chord symbols over rhythm notation. I have used Bb, above middle, to represent the rhythms and placed the chord symbols on top without any problem. I then used the St...

Reload/Refresh Command

Is there a way to either reload or refresh a composition after saving it to update the file. I find that I often will make changes, usually with instrument settings, and have to save/exit file then open up the file to see the changes. It would be great if there is a reload or refresh command, like F...

Re: Colored Text

On playback all is working well with the exception of the 2ns alt sax and the entire trpt section. They have the same volume set in score manager as the remain...

Thanks Peter! I'm not sure how to do what you suggested: [quote]"Setting the Key Velocity to 0 works for playback through MIDI, but not for VST (I think). Instead I would e. g. assign a Pass to an un-used channel. Then, change it back."][/quote I did find a video online (The Finale Projects by Tom C...

Thanks Peter! I'll do it and maybe use something from the Articulation tool. It's a shame because the playback of the Gliss is great!

Re: Intonation Changing

Yes there are a few glissandos. I found that by adding all new trumpets staves, 4 of them, to the score and copying the notes from the old staves to the new everything was normal. I then removed the old staves and all seems okay. What could have caused this?

Thanks,

I just experienced a very odd behavior in the composition I am inputting into Finale for a Jazz Big Band; a few of the instruments changed their pitch - intonation without any change by me. I wasn't aware of any change and found out during playback.They didn't change notes just that the note they we...

It seems to work on the first two measures of a ...
