Re: Trumpet Lags Behind and Plays Flat in Wonderful v27

OK, the lemon is a Acer Aspire TC-780 Windows 10 Home, i5 and 32 GB RAM. The new one, yet to be set up, is a Dell Optiplex 7050, Windows 10 Pro, i7 quad core, 32 GB RAM upgradeable to 64 GB.

Re: Convert Imported Expression Font to SMuFL Equivalent

Jason Loffredo ("Conquering Finale") has a video on converting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GbkNG1a3Ow to SMUFL. At 2:12 into the video he demonstrates how to convert the old fonts.

Re: Off Topic -- Ads?

Most browser settings have pop-up controls. There are also browser add-ons. I use Ad Blocker for the Mozilla browser. Having said that, many forums rely on ads to underwrite their operating costs.

Re: How can I have two scores open at the same time?

Motet, perhaps I don't understand your post. I launch Finale, then open two different files. Even with the Finale window maximized, all I have to do is select from the Finale menu: Window/Tile Window Horizontally and both files display, one above the other.

Re: How can I have two scores open at the same time?

I often work with two Finale documents in Windows, usually to copy material from one file to another. I don't know what problem others have encountered doing this.

Open both files. Then select "Window" and then one of the choices that are listed beneath "arrange icons." Tile, cascade, etc.

Re: Arturia VST's not showing up on plugIn list

Have you checked Midi/Audio ... VST Banks & Effects to confirm that the volume slider is not set to zero? For some reason when a new device is added Finale defaults to zero volume.

Just a stretch, but alt+shift+tab will open the last used window. Is it possible you programmed those or another windows shortcut as playback meta-keys?

Re: Finale 27 temp files on Windows

There was nothing in the root folder of /roaming. Checking the Finale preferences/folders revealed that my Finale temp files are in appdata/LocalLow. And there were over 1200 Finale .tmp files dating back to 2018.

Re: Arturia VST's not showing up on plugIn list

One possible problem: Finale can only use 32 bit samples. If you downloaded 64 bit plug-ins see if 32 bit are available.

Re: No Noteperformer Sounds

I don't use Noteperformer or Mac, but the Noteperformer user guide instructs: "Set playback to be through Audio Units plug-ins:

The accent key will add/remove a slash from individual grace notes. I don't know about the Mac, but on Windows it's the key above the tab key.

Cubase is limited for scoring; ...Export Cubase files as MusicXML for Finale....
That seems backward to me. Print from Finale and export a midi file to import into Cubase. That preserves Human Playback which can then be finessed in Cubase for a playback file.

Re: Custom Articulations (KS techniques) not playing (VST)

Unfortunately there are so many variables between Finale and VE that it's nearly impossible to troubleshoot. That's why I suggested posting a few measures of the trumpet and horn section that is problematic. I have some very basic suggestions, so apologies if they seem simplistic. I assume you've co...

Re: Custom Articulations (KS techniques) not playing (VST)

I use Vienna but you haven't provided enough specific information in order to assist. One of the easiest things to overlook is entering an instrument name in the "name" column in the score manager. Without that a keyswitch will not work for that staff. Also, the newer Synchron samples use a differen...

If you only want to slow down certain sections insert tempo expressions. You can hide them from printing. It's in the manual: https://usermanuals.finalemusic.com/Fin ... expression

Re: I can´t open with Finale 25 (version 1.0.182) this his file created with Finale 2008 ar2

I was able to open the file in v. 2010 and export it to XML, then open and save in v. 27. The file is now only 317k in size, but still too big to insert here. However I'm assuming it's not complete - it begins with m. 1326 and ends at m. 1383. This was the same number of measures before I exported i...

Re: Trouble finding the ReWire:Finale plugin in Reaper

I'm guessing you didn't look at the video link I provided. If you export the midi file to Reaper you don't need to run Finale after that, assuming the notation is complete. You assign the VST playback sounds to the commensurate tracks in Reaper. Pressing the "play" button in Reaper will begin playba...

Re: Trouble finding the ReWire:Finale plugin in Reaper

I experimented with Reaper a few years ago. Rather than linking through rewire, you might consider exporting a midi file from Finale and importing it into Reaper, then setting up your VSTs in Reaper. The human playback element is preserved that way. There are videos online showing the steps, such as...

Assuming you want to copy m. 2-3 to new measures, when I pasted it looked exactly like the original measures. Do you possibly have a filter applied? "Edit/use filter" should be cleared.

Re: Disabled Features

Many software companies only offer customer support for limited periods of time. V26 was released five years ago. I don't think it's unreasonable for them to limit free support. Anyway, I suspect many of the inquiries they receive are from people who don't really know how to use Finale :wink:

Re: Reorder staves

Open score manager, add a new instrument (blank staff, if desired). It should appear at the top, but if not, select and drag the hamburger on the left side of new instrument in the score manager to the position you want.
