Finale Forum

If you can live with the error pop-ups and you don't care about playback, then I don't think you need to worry. But for me:

You need to go to your iPhone (yes -- iPhone) and Settings > General > Airplay and Handoff > turn off Continuity Camera.

5notechord,

PL3 is beta, so on the purchase page you'll need to use the pop-up to switch to beta to update your version.

I just checked it and yes, it fixes the endings problems.

Measure Attributes > Time Signature > Always Show

There is a page break at the top of the second page. If you delete the page break you can move those measures to the bottom of the first page.

The tablature is an octave low. Select the guitar staff and type 9 to transpose up an octave.

::: Bill

If this only happens a time or two you could make the triplet with no bracket (number only) and then create the bracket you need with the Shape Designer. If it happens a lot that would be a huge pain.

If you get this: Audio Engine Error: Finale's audio engine failed to load. Please restart Finale. Error Code: 7. You need to go to your iPhone (yes -- iPhone) and Settings > General > Airplay and Handoff > turn off Continuity Camera. If that doesn't allow playback, then post a file here so we can se...

You've probably thought of this, but under Bluetooth on the menu bar is the selection correct?

If Bluetooth is de-selected, does it play back correctly through the internal speakers?

::: Bill

You can use Special Tools > Note Position Tool to drag them to the other side of the barline.

Also in Speedy, if Jump To Next Measure is turned off you can put the two 16ths at the end of the measure and change them to grace notes. Probably the same thing can be done in Simple.

Lynn,

Now that you have located the Preferences file, it's a good idea to make a copy of it in case that file goes bonkers, which happens occasionally. If it happens you can just drag the copy into that spot.

Glad that you had a happy ending.

Go to makemusic.com and log in to your account to download the program.

You can save your preferences file and use it for the new download.

If you turn off out of range notes does that make a difference? View > Out-of-Range Notes > Off.

::: Bill

Another option is Special Tools > Note Position Tool. That allows you to select multiple notes and nudge with the arrow key. Not as precise as Peter's solution, but maybe quicker.

I tried Perfect Layout and it didn't help. It fixed the spacing but it put the beams at the top rather than between the staves. Maybe there is a setting I am missing.

::: Bill

I posted this elsewhere but I thought it might help someone to also post it here to my original question. ===== So the problem is with the iPhone (!) and Continuity Camera, whatever that is. I have not received the error code since applying this solution: If you do not use Continuity Camera and you ...

Oh my! BuonTempi's post led me to what appears to be a solution to the irritating "Audio Engine Failed to Load" error. (Surprising that MM customer support told me there wasn't a solution, though the solution was in their post of last December.) So the problem is with the iPhone (!) and Continuity C...

I have problems with F27 and Ventura on my laptop when the screen goes to sleep. I get the alert that the audio engine has failed to load. Finale still works, but without playback. I still do all my work on F26.

Bill

>> I don't have perfect layout (yet).

I tested with Perfect Layout and v26 and it did not fix that issue, which surprised me.

Try Plug-ins > Scoring and Arranging > Split Point.

Peter, I was trying to figure out the problem the OP was having, as were you. I am testing on 27, not 26. It looks like the grace note is on the beat if there is just one, but OP was asking about 3 grace notes and I haven't been able to figure out a way to get them on the beat. An articulation such ...

Peter,

Curious to know -- does it work on the beat for you? If so, could you post a snippet that works?

::: Bill

I assume you've taken the routine first steps -- reboot Finale, and if that doesn't work, reboot computer.

Another long shot might be to Save As instead of Save.

Hopefully a Windows user will have further suggestions for you.

::: Bill

Are you saying that files created in v27 get saved as 2012? Or old files opened in v27?

::: Bill Stevens

Following on what Peter wrote, using the Custom Stem Tool you double-click the note and then replace the flagged stem with a plain stem. You'll probably need to create the plain stem in the Shape Designer, then when you place it, you will probably need to nudge it. It seems like a lot of fuss if you...
