Re: weird think to ask the tremolo?
Shape Designer. Create an arpeggio with an arrow pointing down on the bottom of it (I've also seen a down arrow next to an arpeggio).

Re: new computer
When it was time for a new computer, I couldn't find an off the shelf one that suited me. Ended up building my own.

Re: reverse cymbal in symphony notation???
It can only be noted to play a recording. It's physically impossible to play a cymbal roll in reverse, hence there is no notation for it.

Re: Windows 7
According to Make Music's website, Finale 2014.5 is the highest version that's compatible with Windows 7. Keep in mind that Finale 2014.5 no longer has technical support through MM. Might be time for a new computer.

Have you tried opening a backup file (bakx)? Rename it to something else (myfile ver2), save as musx then try working on that one.

Re: How to remove red line in lyrics
I believe you are speaking about word extensions. Very easy to eliminate:
Document Options (ctrl-alt-A)
Choose Lyrics
Word Extensions (bottom right radio button)
Uncheck Use Smart Word Extensions
Click Okay
Click Okay in Document Options box.

M-Audio Driver Question
I have an M-Audio keyrig 49 which I have used for years to input notes in Finale. However, Finale 27 will not recognize the keyboard. M-Audio's website does not have a driver supported by Windows 11 (worked fine in Win 10). I did download the last driver software, but it seemed that it just wasn't i...

Re: Migrating to new computer
Thanks, Zoots. Very helpful info. Sounds as if cloning may be more of a pain, and makes sense to just start things afresh. Don't know which I'm going with and the cost is negligible at this point, but my 2 choices: CPU: i5-11500 [or i5-12400] (I don't play high graphics games, so I don't see need fo...

Re: Migrating to new computer
There is cloning software you can try. I have done it on installing a new C:\ SSD and it working beautifully. Would that work for a new system? I'm planning on building a new computer sometime this year with Windows 11 (currently running Win 10). 1TB SSD in M2 slot; current HD is 1TB in primary SAT...

Re: Does the Ossia Tool work in v26?
I have v. 26. No, it doesn't work; at least not to my satisfaction. It has never worked and this "feature" should have been dumped years ago since MM can't fix it.

Re: My ole Dell
One thing to watch is if you go to a larger SSD than you original HD boot drive, it wants to make the additional space drive D:\. However, if you don't care even that is no problem. I'm a tad confused, perhaps. Scenario: My current D drive contains all my documents and backup files from my external...

Re: My ole Dell
Did you have to download and reinstall any programs after cloning or did the SSD run as if you still had the old HD in? I've used AOMEI for data backups in the past.

Re: Time to upgrade to 27?
I read the reviews here with every new version to see what the, um, "new features" are. I usually wait until the "new features" have been fixed to upgrade.

Re: quantization
I think the OP is referring to the playback. Quantization doesn't affect the playback. You'll want to adjust the Human Playback setting.

Re: I do I do it.
If it's for playback only, it would work. But if you're expecting people to actually play from the score, you need to use cross staffing. It may have been "faster" for you, but as a keyboardist, I'd be sitting there wondering what that was all about, then send it back to be done correctly.

Enter the notes in different layers. It's a basic function within Finale and is covered in the Quick Start videos under the "I Want To..." heading.

It must be McAfee. I opened their support forum in Chrome and Brave (chromium based). I experienced no problems on any of the help links. Turn off McAfee briefly and see if you get the same warning.

Re: Another F27 blog entry
Better balanced playback?
Does that mean I don't have to crank my sound all the way up when using Finale; and forgetting to turn it back down, receiving a sound notification of some sort, with me needing to change my underwear after the sound scares the you-know-what out of me?

Re: Finale don't understand musical notation.
IT IS A TIE. 1. Please do not yell. 2. What you describe is normal for Finale entry. You stated that in the first measure you have a C# and in the second measure a C-natural. The assumption, since you didn't state, is that C is not sharped in the key signature. That being said, when you enter the C...
