Re: Unable to hide staves

I'm just noticing that the program has added in some groups on it's own, with piano brackets, which are formatted to not allow hiding. Vry odd and slightly annoying, but that's solved it.

Unable to hide staves

I had to add a new grand staff to this document, created years ago, probably in 2014.5, possibly earlier. Now some pages won't hide staves, no matter what I do. Any suggestions on how to fix this? https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ttrxakbrobls17kigo8rz/Summer-Day-Part-1-formatted.musx?rlkey=af1ssvn11yc...

Removing duplicate articulations

Windows 10 Finale 27.5 NP 4

As mentioned by MM themselves, some of my older files that employed Implode and Explode now have duplicate stacked articulations: usually two, sometimes 10+. Is there a way to easily reduce these down to one? Google searches have not produced any results. Thanks.

Banjo won't play back

Windows 10, Finale 27, NP 4 My banjo line won't play back at all. I've searched through Score Manager and all of the MIDI and VST setups, but no luck. I've tried reassigning it Tenor Banjo, re-entering the notes, reassigning the channel: still nothing. But if I create a brand new document of just ba...

Re: Installing Lua

That's probably where I went astray: C:\Program Files\MakeMusic\Finale\27\Plug-ins\Lua. So I've deleted that, and they're all back. But I still can't figure out where individual lua scripts would go in my files. Why do the instructions tell you to manually create a LUA folder in Plug-Ins, but then a...

Installing Lua

I've followed the instructions on the site, I think, but my Finale is now hiding all plug-ins.

Re: Ghost held over notes in Playback

Thanks so much for the quick response, Heinz. I've tried your suggestions, but no luck. I've also tried playing back selected brass instruments alone, and also the harp and piano, but that reverb doesn't show up: only in the full playback. I am going to ask NP about this directly, but any other sugg...

Ghost held over notes in Playback

See mms. 73-74 and 79-80. There's a mush of notes from the previous measures that sounds like there's a pedal or l.v. somewhere, but I haven't notated that, and indeed have tried to purposely notate against that, but to no effect. I've also tried clearing MIDI data. Suggestions? https://drive.google...

Installing JW Plugins in 27

It's been a while since I've done this: I've extracted my plug-ins to my Finale 27 folder in my system, but they're not showing up in the program. Do I need to extract items from the bundle folders themselves? If so, what and to where, please?

Music spacing: fixing spacing conflicts between layers

Trying this again with the CORRECT image: Is there no way to automatically fix the spacing between layers 1 and 2? E.g. have the layer 2 notes not be in the same space as the layer 1 notes at the beginning of the measures. There's a fair amount of this, and having to fix it manually is really cumber...

I can't copy or paste script text, either within a script, from script to script, or to an outside program. Any suggestions? FInale has had me do a complete clean reinstall, but has since stopped responding.

Unable to deauthorize old equipment

I've replaced my laptop, but the program won't let me authorize the new one (in addition to my desktop). The old laptop died so I can't do it there, and when I try finalemusic.com I get an error message saying that the site has limited ability to do this function. Help?

I'm trying to match the plus sign size to the time signature, but no matter what font I try, all I get is this umlaut "o".

Re: Weird stem direction problem

So, it gets worse / more annoying: Motet, I've now attempted to correct the problem by rewriting that opening bar in a different instrument, copying it in, adding back in the articulations, and then copying that to the appropriate other measures. This solves the problem... for a while. Then when I t...

Weird stem direction problem

Windows 10 Finale 2014.5

Stem directions in some parts are all over the place, and I can't figure out why. See measure 1 in the clarinet.
