Finale Forum

But if Bill’s v. 5 worked, can you just delete the existing v.4? As far as the side note question, unless there is a very good reason not to, I attach the lyric to the melody line. In a hymnal, that’s probably the soprano. If there is something like a bass pickup, I would attach those lyrics below ...

I just re-entered verse 4 using Click Assignment and it showed up just fine, and continues to display. By the way, you don't have to enter the music in layers if the rhythms are the same between S&A and T&B. Just use common stems. Do use layers when the rhythms differ, as in m12. N. Yeah, this one ...

Messing around with it, it did seem something was hinky with verse 4. I switched to verse 5 and put the words in there, thinking it would be easy enough to move that verse up, but when I did that, verse 4 suddenly started working properly. Go figger. Bill Hey Bill, couldn't get this to work for me,...

Attach a (small) Finale sample document here, and probably someone can examine your Finale sample document, and find the culprit. Thanks Peter, and whoever takes a whack at this. Please let me know how to fix this. I also tried creating a new file, copied the bass clef line cleanly, but the treble ...

Thanks Bill, it was a long shot, but all the parameters are in line. Nothing wacko on the Baselines locations.

I had a 4 verse hymn with 16 bars and no refrain, straight ahead SATB. I decided to remove verse 3. Then later I decided to put it back. Now I can't. I have tried removing all verses and installing 1 at a time. The 4th verse never shows up, just the first 3. I've expanded the system to make room, do...

Yes! just changed the playback expression to "none" and it works fine. thanks so much! I will take a look at how to do the articulation method. thanks for the advice...

Thanks Peter, the relevant file is attached. I verified that it still fails to pause on the 3rd fermata.

I had trouble working with the articulation tool. Seems it's missing some things that the manual says it should have. Since I'm brand new and although I've had this program since 2005-6, can't remember, and I'm unfamiliar with how a forum like this works with a person's creative product, I'm concern...

I have a simple piano piece that plays back the first 2 fermatas just right. Nice pause. The third one doesn't seem to play back at all when playing back the entire piece. However, when I set playback to start a few measures in front of it, then it plays with a pause. I put all 3 in the document at ...
