Hello All, I finally made some progress with getting the E-MU box to play nicely with Windows 10 1903. Over the course of a few weeks, I tried several times to get Windows to allow the update from 1809 to 1903, but they always said it was available, but my computer wasn't ready. I finally uninstalle...

Thanks for all the replies. Since I originally posted my question about 2 years ago, there has been a number of recent articles on the Internet about getting the E-MU box and Windows 10 to play nicely that I hadn't seen before. (The real issue is not USB -- it doesn't connect via USB, but an interna...

Thanks for the reply! Do you have an E-MU 1820 (or similar) and does ASIO4ALL work with it instead of the original driver? I've used ASIO with my USB (musical) keyboard, but the E-MU is definitely NOT USB. It has it's own protocols and therefore it's own special driver. Back in April, I was able to ...

I've been using an E-MU 1820 audio interface on my music computer ever since Windows XP. It has a hardware card in the computer which attaches to a separate box that has connections for MIDI, mics, line inputs/outputs, speakers, S/PDIF, and headphones. Of course, this device is no longer supported w...

There is an option in the part called something like Unlink from Score. I'll check the exact wording. That's how you do it. Zuill P.S.: "Unlink all instruments in this part". This is found in the Score manager when in the part. Attached is a sample. Aha -- that works nicely. I also rediscovered tha...

Finale 25.4 Windows I don't think this should be that hard, but maybe I'm missing something. I have a score for a friend -- SATB with piano and organ. She now wants to add a trumpet. I suggested we put Trumpet in C in the score (in case the organist wants to fill in) and then produce C and Bb parts ...

The Customer Service rep from MM had me collect some system information data files. He also suggested I reinstall my printer. So, I deleted my HP printer, went to HP.com and downloaded a new driver install package, and reinstalled the printer. That seems to have fixed the problem. But, it seems stra...

I have the same problem, but I don't use the Microsoft Print to PDF driver. My default printer is a local network HP LaserJet, so the Makemusic solution doesn't work for me. I posted a support request to MM -- we'll see what they come up with. BTW: If I open my score in Finale 14.5, all the print op...

The box and keyboard are still sitting on my shelf in the computer room. The box says: Works with the following standards * Microsoft Windows 98 SE * Microsoft Windows 2000 * Microsoft Windows Me * Microsoft Windows XP * General MIDI It also came with a SoundBlaster 128 card. Requires Intel Pentium ...

I'm just throwing this out there as I know everyone has their own ways of doing things. I used to pin app shortcuts to the bottom taskbar. In fact I had so many favorites on my software devel computer (8 or so), I doubled the height so they'd take up a little less space horizontally. This was on Win...

For your first question, yes -- the two bar repeat symbol means play those 2 bars again 1 time.

Sorry, but I don't know an answer for the PDF issue. I generally export/print my music in black and white. I'm sure one of the experts here on the forums will be able to help on this one.

Yep -- looks like multi-measure rests are the culprits. When I "break" the rests, all the changes show up. I'll leave them "broken" until I'm ready to publish the parts.

Thanks all!

[Hi! I'm back -- it's been a while.] Finale 25.4.1.152 Windows I have an old score that I need to update. It was first created in Finale 2006. I opened the score in Finale 25.4.1.152, saving it to a .musx file (all in Windows). So far, so good. I did some fixups to the parts (split Trombones 1&2 int...

I still have one, but I don't think you can get drivers for it any more. I think I used it on Windows XP or earlier -- many years ago.
