Re: Can't see Smart Shapes
Yes, I did, to no avail. HOWEVER, I did click the minimize and maximize square and discovered that I could move the whole screen over so I could see everything. How do I delete this post?

Can't see Smart Shapes
I know this has been an issue in the past, and I have read previous posts from users who have had this problem, but they haven't helped. I just got a new Dell SPX 13, and Finale was working fine. Then all of a sudden only the edge of the Smart Shapes window shows on the far right of the screen. I ca...

Re: Open Mac Finale File on Windows PC
Okay. Thanks. They both have to be updated to the latest version, or at least be the same version. It works now.

Soprano audio disappeared
I'm finishing up a work for SATB chorus and strings, and I deleted the strings (put them in another file) so I could hear the choir by itself, and now I can't hear the soprano line. I can hear the others fine. In Studio View it shows audio for the sopranos, but I can't hear them. Any ideas what's wr...

Create unique staff name
I want to create an SATB vocal score with a fifth staff at the top called "Child," or "Solo Child." How do I go about creating my own staff name?

Changing to Mac
How is Finale 27 going to work on a Mac? Years ago Finale was awful on Macs.

Mini Score
I'm having a devil of a time figuring out how to create partial scores midway through an orchestra piece, so I can have more than one system per page (juat few instruments playing at a time). I've been using Finale for ages, but I can't find the answer to this one.

Pipe organ dynamics
Why is there only one kind of organ in Finale? And why don't dynamics work on playback? (I did a search here first and didn't see anything helpful).

Can't hear clash cymbals
I gave the cymbals their own staff, their own channel, and wrote ffff as the dynamic. All I get is a barely audible suspended cymbal played with a cotton ball. How can I get a good, loud cymbal crash? Do I need to import something from Kontakt?

Can't make measure numbers disappear
I've tried everything suggested online. All references to measure numbers are unchecked. But they won't go away. Any ideas?

Problems with ScoreMerge
I have tried and tried to merge four string quartet parts, but every time I do, many problems show up. Some of them very time consuming to fix, others unsolvable, like the one below. The cello part shows up with C clef staff at the top. When I try to delete the C clef staff by every method available...

Re: Please see my post under Playback Issues
You're right. I went back to the original file and found this: if I insert rit. before a slower tempo change exactly two measure later, the music slows down nicely. But if I insert another rit. after the tempo change, the first rit. doesn't work. See the example I attached. However, if I move the te...

Re: Please see my post under Playback Issues
Thanks for responding. It was just that one file that wasn't responding, so I wrote it again as a new file and it worked fine. I'll go ahead and delete these posts so I don't clutter up the forum. Thanks again.

The problem here is that both the right hand and the left hand sound an octave lower. I just want the left hand to sound an octave lower. How do I make the right hand sound as written?

Re: Equalize measure width
That's what I do: I use the handles to minimize the width of the repeat measures. Then I have to manually adjust the remaining measures. I wish there was a way to tell Finale to make all repeat measures a maximum size.
