Re: Auto save
I back up to iCloud and to an external hard drive. I also use FreeFileSync to back up my work from my iMac to a Macbook Air. I'm unaware of a Mac app that automatically saves files.

Changing noteheads
I'm trying to change solid round noteheads to "X" noteheads in a section of a percussion staff with hand claps. The handclaps notehead Finale initially provides is a solid triangle--like the one I'd use for a triangle. Document Options shows me that the notation font is Engraver font set 24 plain. I...

Re: Finale for iOS?
I still have manuscript paper stashed everywhere I go, but these days more often than not, I sing musical ideas into my iPhone's voice memos app. I then speak added information about the idea after I'm done singing. I then notate the idea into Finale. For me, that's so much easier and faster than tr...

Re: Last note under a slur
Are you using HP? Which defined style are you using, and have you tried to change the defined style setting to see if the playback changes more to your liking? You might try creating a custom-defined style. Depending on how often the problem occurs, you might also try increasing the offending note d...

Re: Lyrics Tool type into score and click assignment stopped working
Hi, Mike. Just closed out of Finale and opened it again, and now both of those Lyrics Tool functions are working again. I was about the report this when I saw your note. Thanks. Did you hear my big sigh of relief?

Lyrics Tool type into score and click assignment stopped working
I've been working on an SATB piece with piano accompaniment, doing a lot of editing, and suddenly the Lyrics tool doesn't work--I can't click assignment or type lyrics into the score. I erased all the lyrics and re-entered them in the lyrics window to start again, but both click assignment and type ...

Re: Opinions about Note Performer 3?
You're saying you're not having difficulty switching out percussion sounds, but the previous response was that there can be issues. Maybe it's dependent on the instruments used. I have few problems changing percussion sounds among NotePerformer, GPO5, and COMB2. I make these changes in Score Manage...

Re: Opinions about Note Performer 3?
I've been using NotePerformer for about a year or so, and I like it a lot. However, I prefer the GPO5 Basic Orchestral Percussion sounds, so I use both NotePerformer and GPO5 percussion together. Setting up the two libraries together has so far worked smoothly for me.

Re: Need some pointers for mixing in Finale
I most often use NotePerformer now, but when I was using COMB2 and GPO5, here are four changes I routinely made: 1. I've noticed that some inherent instrument volumes in GPO5 and in COMB2 are quite different. For instance, the suspended cymbal, bass clarinet, and bassoon sounds I use are very loud. ...

Re: Finale sounds
When I reassign playback sounds to NotePerformer, the sample sounds fine--including percussion. Except for the Aria player and Garritan sounds suggestions I made, I can't think of any other ways to tweak the playback.

Re: Finale sounds
So now I guess the question moves from "not there" to, how to make them useable or loud enough to actually hear them in conjunction with the rest of the chart. In addition to what ttw said, place the low-sounding instruments in their own Aria instances and pump up their volumes in "Audio Units Bank...

Re: Finale sounds
Which percussion instruments do you find lacking? When I first bought COMB2 and GPO5, I had trouble finding the right sounds that distinguished an orchestral clashed (crash) cymbals sound and a suspended cymbal sound. In GPO5's basic orchestral percussion, I settled on midi note 85 for a truer clash...

Re: Aria player
Here's a tip. I use COMB2, GPO5, and NotePerformer. In the last few months, I've been using NotePerformer exclusively except for some percussion sounds from GPO5--snare drum, clashed cymbals, suspended cymbal, glockenspiel, and xylophone. I've used COMB2 and GPO5 for years and only recently tried ou...
