Re: Finale 27 Won't Boot - Mac/Monterey
Deauthorize Finale, uninstall, reboot, and reinstall. If it works properly, reinstall the plugins a few at a time (although I doubt that’s the provlem.) Don't! If one has a large number of plug-ins on a Mac, do not quit, remove, uninstall etc. Wait till the crash, reopen and try again. Once all of ...

Re: "Nothing but Squares" help and links
It's very weird that Finale 26 should "seek out and destroy" fonts which, at the time it was created, are nothing to do with Finale 26. They're not new versions of Maestro, Engraver, Jazz -- they are new, different fonts with new, different names. Hopefully, it's not deleting fonts that are just "n...

Re: Tuplet adjustments are extremely slow
I'll post this in both places. This may actually be an Apple issue—very easy to find out. Go to System Preferences/Displays (System Settings/Displays in Ventura) Uncheck the Default profile. This should let you chose a new Profile from a dropdown list. I like Apple Cinema HD Display Calibrated Close...

Re: Missing font?
You did reboot after installation, right? If not, try that first. Otherwise, as Motet suggests, find out if the font is installed on your computer. If Finale can find it, easy to select. If Finale can't but it exists on your laptop, you need to establish a path to it. Since you already have 2014 on ...

Re: mid-measure repeats
…The user manual is not very informative. It needs a lot of work. … Yes, you are preaching to the choir on that subject. While finding the Split Measure tool in the manual is easy, it assumes that you know to select all staves in a system before it can work. For most of us, that wouldn't even make ...

Re: Dual monitor issue on Mac
Finale 27.2 became a necessity because 27 is not back-compatible with previous versions, and I have new students who use 27. Yes, I know one can go through musicXML ... that is another way to say that files are no longer compatible. … Of course it is, same as 2014 — 26 in that you can save it as a ...

Re: Finale sync with DAW
With Monterey, Apple has removed all ReWire code from the MacOS. Surprisingly, sync'ing with my DAWs still works on my wife's M1 and my iMac Pro through CoreAudio as long as Finale is the Master—no more bi-directional communication. With 27.2, I'm not running over Rosetta 2. Digital Performer is my ...

Re: Dual monitor issue on Mac
The "Finale Palette Mover" solution actually does not seem to work with Finale 27.2. The palettes are "left behind" when the main window is moved to the second monitor, and are still left behind when the Keyboard Maestro macro is fired. [The solution is also far from being elegant! You would need t...

Re: Finale AND Dorico (maybe MuseScore, Notion Sibelius, etc. also)
I noticed online that "Encore" is still for sale. Does anyone still use it? I remember trying to decide between Encore and Finale back in 1996... I chose Finale. Encore has been superseded by Overture, which is Don William's new evolution of his work. I tried it once and the slurs were hideous, for...

Re: JW Plugins not working
I stepped around this problem by turning off "Gatekeeper" (using the Onyx utility). Then the plugins load readily. Gatekeeper will turn itself back on every month or so and the process needs to be repeated. This Terminal Command works nicely. sudo spctl --master-disable It sometimes needs to be res...

Only someone who never worked in Windows Support can say that. I did my time and will never own a Win machine again.
Have you ever kept track of the ratio of Win/Mac problems on the official board? You really should.

There are many apps that can convert audio to MIDI. Any good DAW can do this including Logic. Even better is an inexpensive MIDI drum controller that you can play.

There were two delay issues. One was fixed in Finale 26; the other in Finale 26.3.1. This one has yet to be fixed: Glissandos may not playback correctly. In the Human Playback Configuration, we must set Start/Stop Time to "No HP Effect", to preserve the written length of notes. Unfortunately, the sa...

Re: Wht good is all this speed if I have to relaunch Finale every three minutes
I'll guess it's this: version 27.1… MacOS 12.2.x Monterey 27.2 is running smoothly on both my iMac Pro and my M1 MacBook Air over Monterey 12.3. Hasn't crashed once on either machine once I got it running. If there are plugins and VIs in your system that Finale doesn't like, it might crash during au...

The new Finale v27.2 Update and NotePerformer 3.3.2 work fine together on Intel Macs and Apple Silicon but only when 27.2 is opened in Rosetta 2. Since NotePerformer 3.3.2 is not a Native app, there are no surprises here. If you run Get Info on Finale 27.2 and uncheck the box Open using Rosetta on a...
