Re: Can the sample rate of exported audio be changed?

I don't know the answer to your exact question, but I would perhaps experiment with turning on/off the different types of Human Playback, just in case that is a factor.
Cheers,

Re: Beam angle tool problem

It seems that shutting down my mac and starting it up this morning has solved the problem for the time being...!
PS: Thanks, motet, for that workaround. I hadn't thought of it!

Re: Beam angle tool problem

Thanks very much, Djard, for your advice, which is much appreciated. I will see what I can do... The strange behaviour only presents itself when I have two windows open (of the same document). I tend to do that for comparing early and later sections of my score. Interesting that the file works norma...

Beam angle tool problem

Hi all, Sometimes the beam angle tool doesn't work when I have two windows open. No handles show up on the beams when clicking in a bar and the click makes text expressions suddenly enlarge. Strange. Mac Fin 26.3.1.643. Maybe I need to update to the next version. Any one else noticed this or know of...

Re: stop making room for accidentals in other parts?

Thanks very much, Peter. I checked in the Document Options>Music Spacing and it is set to "Ignore". I guess that's the default, as I don't remember finger poking that! Anyway, I'll remember that screen when it happens next time and try the "clear" option. Cheers and thanks again,

Re: stop making room for accidentals in other parts?

In a really busy score with lots of grace notes and hemidemisemiquavers etc., and wanting 2 bars per system, I occasionally resorted to editing the spacing using the note spacing tool to fix collisions, however I was a little taken aback when I noticed that upon extraction (yes, I'm an extractor), i...

Re: Unable to place accents where I want them

I experienced misplacement of some accents in my score, due to the slur avoidance feature. Some were way too high. Some were fine. So, I duplicated the default articulation then tweaked the duplicate by turning off the stacking and making it ignore slurs. I then used the duplicate where necessary. H...

Rehearsal Letters

Hi all,

My Rehearsal Letters are enclosed in a square, but when I reduced the size of the stave to 70%, the letter is no longer appearing centred in the middle of the square.

Any tips appreciated!

Re: Order of rests

Thank you, motet and John! I am not 100% sure why Finale is behaving like that.
You might be able to replicate the issue by doing this:

step 1. notate this bar.

step 2: highlight just the rests and press delete, and these are Finale's default rests that I get:

Order of rests

Hi all,
In this bar of 6/8 (setup as two dotted crotchets per bar), Finale is wanting to put the 32nd rest before the 16th rest.
Is Finale correct? I am confused!

Re: PLayback doesn't work

Hi Marius,
I don't know for sure, but open the disclosure triangle to reveal the full playback window. Then perhaps check to see if the playback region is set appropriately (See yellow arrow).
