Re: Swing 16ths not working

I've had tunes that needed Swing on some staves but not on others.
I assume the Parts will say Swing Feel,
how else would the players know?

Re: Playback Temo Not Responding

I always use the Expression Tool, and set Tempo with Number of Beats per minute.
Always works.

Re: Audio engine (Error 7)

Try setting System Prefs/ Sound to same as what Finale uses. Also, long shot here, look in System Prefs/Security. Look at Microphone settings. If Finale is Checked, uncheck it. Or vice-versa. It's unchecked on my Computer. I recall some problems being caused/solved with headphone settings too. Seemi...

Re: Double the durations and number of measures in all parts

The time I tried it, I had to do only a few bars at a time, otherwise there were problems, similar to yours.
Try 4 bars at at time, some editing will probably be needed anyway.

Re: diminished 7th chord with a major 7th added

The B replaces the A, in 4 parts, in Jazz harmony.
It's still a Diminished 7th chord/scale

Re: Resizing page in linked part moves the copyright

5 Note Chord?
What are the other 2 Notes?
But seriously, what's the definition of a Triad?
It's a Chord with the 6th left out.

Re: Viola solo playback not in tune

I haven't had a single Inst go out of tune, but I've had number of Finale Files go crazily, bizarrely out of tune altogether. Time was the Gliss Smart Shape would set it off. Sometimes just one more entry, and it goes wild. Closing and restarting Finale fixed it, but was annoying and wasted time. It...

Re: playback output to headphones

Go to Privacy in System Prefs ( on a Mac ).
There's a prompt to allow Microphone, check it.
My copy of Reaper wouldn't pass the Mic signal unless that was checked,
should work for you on Finale.

Mac/Catalina 10.15.7

Hi,
I'm currently on Mojave, 10.14.6 and Finale 25.
If I get Catalina, 10.15.7, will I also need to get Finale 26, or will F 25 still work?
TIA!

Re: Ritardando playback

I use F 25/Mac/Standard HP, and it absolutely does Ritards.
Sometimes I use extra Ritard Expressions to customise the rate of Rit over several meas.
But it definitely works for me.

Re: Tempo slows down after measure 2

I cleared Midi and Tempo Marks from bar 2 to the end, made no difference,
so I added another Tempo Mark to bar 2.
Having the Flat 9th on beat one with an F9/13 Chord,
and having a Major 3rd one beat one with a Minor 7th Chord
seem to me to be odd choices.

So, a guy passes out a new arrangement at a big band rehearsal.

Re: System Spacing Issue

I use the Page Layout Tool/Space Systems Evenly.
Then Select Page 1 ( in this case ) only, and allow 8 Staves per page.
Then I run Space Systems Evenly, Do Not Change the Number of Staves.
That will space it according to the margins Selected.
Takes a few seconds, works great!
