Re: PDFs in 27.4
Darn darn darn. Same problem here. I normally use Nitro Pro, which I love.
I am very unhappy with Microsoft Print to PDF. I see a reduction in quality.
Is there any way to undo the latest update?

Re: Importing from midi - can't split staves
Thanks, MMike and Miker! How can one tell whether a midi file is in different channels or the same channel? If the two notes were on separate channels, I would not need to split them, I could just use "auto set to channels", and it would split them. So, when is the split tool useful? I tried Explode...

Importing from midi - can't split staves
Hello Forum! I am importing a midi file of a four part vocal piece. When I keep the default input values, everything comes out with a doubled octave. I don't want that, so I thought I could split the staves in two. I went to: open file Import midi file options set track to staff list auto set to tra...

Re: Split measure tool not working
I reported the bug. Maybe if enough people trip on it, they will get to it. I also mentioned that improving the complex meter tool would be helpful!

Re: Split measure tool not working
Just found a weird bug. I went to Edit Measure Attributes, and changed the measure numbers to every 2 measures, as suggested by Motet. (See above in the thread.) But the renumbering isn't consistent through the Finale software. I'm adjusting all the clefs to make cellists happy. When I select a meas...

I've never understood why this works so poorly. To get around it, I have my own default documents that I set up with the libraries I want.

Re: Split measure tool not working
Interesting idea, Peter! I'll think about that.
By "tiny image", I meant the size in kB. I was surprised that a picture at about 350kB was rejected as too big.

Re: Split measure tool not working
Hi Peter, I did not know about the copy with filter feature - thanks for telling me about it! I tried putting the expression dashes in the measures. I would need to do a lot of nudging. There are lots of accidentals, and some eighth notes are touching lines. My smallest unit of time is eighth notes....

Split measure tool not working
I am trying to notate a few hundred measures in a complex meter: 4+3. I would like to show a dotted line in the sort of middle of each measure. The split measure tool worked great, but it only works on one measure. If I select multiple measures and start the tool, it says it only works on one measur...

Re: full score dotted bar lines
The split measure tool worked great (until I found the bugs), but it only works on one measure. If I select multiple measures and start the tool, it says it only works on one measure. If I select one measure, I get an error message "only a partial measure region is selected". If I click continue, I ...

Re: Pizz sound not working
Well, darn, now it's back again. I think it's got to be the midi files I'm importing. But I'm guessing that only because they are from the outside; not generated in the software by me.
At least I have a working solution, if I'm in the mood to do all that again.

Re: Can't change tempo - a midi problem?
I have no explanation for this, but it started working normally again. Your revised file worked, my old file worked. I even opened an older draft version of the file, where I hadn't cleared the midi data as suggested, and it worked, too. So odd, since all my other files worked fine all along, but al...

Re: Can't change tempo - a midi problem?
I just tried that, but it didn't work. Any other thoughts?
I attached the file to the original post (I was editing it while Zuill was commenting that I'd forgotten it.)

Can't change tempo - a midi problem?
Hello Fabulous Finale Forum Helpers, I imported a midi file for source material in the attached file, and I can't change the tempo at all. I'm not having trouble with any other files in Finale. I don't think it is relevant, but I don't have a midi device of any kind currently connected to my compute...

Re: Pizz sound not working
The Finale tech support suggested a "clean reinstall" which was even more thorough than what I did. If that didn't work, they suggested creating a new admin account on my computer. Fortunately, it worked. I have their instructions here in case anyone else has a similar problem: I'd recommend that we...

Re: Pizz sound not working
Thanks, Zuill for the file. When I tried to play it, it said it was written for Aria version 1.959, and I had 1.872. Since I just downloaded everything today, I guess the older Aria is what you get with Finale 25. I couldn't make your file play any sound at all, with Midi or VST. The only way I coul...
