Re: mid-measure repeats

Thanks to both of you. The split measure tool worked great. Much appreciated. The user manual is not very informative. It needs a lot of work. This forum is a God send.

How do I create a mid-measure repeat between the quarter rest and the 2 eighth notes? I've tried the plug-in with no success.

Error Codes

I'm trying to open up one of my arrangements and I get the following error codes: 62 and 55. Does anyone know what those mean? Is there a list somewhere of all of the Finale error codes?

Garritan Aria - SmartMusic Soft Synth

Whenever I create a new score with Setup Wizard it automatically uses SmartMusic Soft Synth instead of Aria to all the instruments. Any suggestions on how to make Garritan Aria the default?

Trouble with 1st and 2nd repeats

My 1st repeat should play measures 1-12 then repeat to measure 5. Then it should play from measure 5 to measure 8 then go to 2nd repeat at measure 13.

Re: Finale to Sibelius not working

Yes. XML. Sibelius states "it is not a music XML and cannot be loaded. Element caesura contains not allowed child content." There is no lyrics. The music is Carol of the Bells.

Finale to Sibelius not working

I use Finale, V27, a band director I send music to uses Sibelius. I export it in the format Finale states is for Sibelius. He is unable to open it. He states it is not in a true Sibelius format. Any suggestions?

Re: Rehearsal Marks

I’m using numbers that are not associated with measure numbers. I make sure that they are assigned to the correct measure. They just move without any reason. Very strange and frustrating. What is category placement and meta tool?
