Finale Forum

Without knowing your operating system, everyone with a specific answer is guessing. Windows what?

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 ...

Hi

Are these color profiles listed in Display Settings as in my screenshot?


if so, change to Apple RGB and see if there's any difference.

What Display Profile(s) are you using?

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...

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...

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 ...

After reading it was gone, I had no trouble finding it immediately nor digging down. Unfortunately, the only way I know to search it is through Google. It would be nice if MM allowed it to have a Search field.

…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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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...

I wish he'd get the Overture update out first. We've been waiting for a LONG time

We don't talk about that. I have a license for Overture, too. One of the possibilities is that Overture may be updated to open Encore files instead.

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...

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...

One thing for sure you Mac owners are long suffering for sure.

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. The least expensive ones or this page have 8 or 16 pads. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/search.php?s=midi+drum+pads&sb=low2high Howeve...

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...

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...

I was hoping that this from BOZ would have that but it doesn't. https://www.bozdigitallabs.com/product/claps-stomps-and-snaps-bundle/ Other than that, you may have to roll your own and create a Sound Font compatible library. It's not hard to do but not recommended for anyone on a tight deadline. The...

If you're a senior manager at MakeMusic, then tell us who you are. If not, then you have no credibility as a source.

Yep, time to upgrade. You can do that for $149 through your MakeMusic User account.

I just read somewhere that there is a phone number that you can call between 9.00 am and 5.00 pm. MakeMusic discontinued direct phone support a few days after Finale 25 was released and has not brought it back—no doubt due to the sheer number of calls they received in the immediate aftermath.

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...
