From the documentation: (2) Notation programs work with Opus, but do not support the full feature set of some EastWest Libraries, such as those that use WordBuilder. Please contact support for details. You would need a DAW and after bringing in any instrument tracks from Finale, use a keyboard to ke...

Actually - hp was reading the tremolos with no issue, so I didn't create playback notes. (Which doesn't help with hidden layers that don't hide, but it solves this immediate problem.)

I'm using the easy tremolos plugin and for the sake of audio proofing, I'm creating playback notes. But hiding layer 4 only grays the notes, using blank notation on layer 4 does nothing to correct this - I still have a mess of faded blue notes cluttering up my work in progress. (It seemed before I h...

I do all my tempo changes as expressions (via controller) on a staff with no sound library attached. Most of the time, I export that staff along with one or more desired staves with voices assigned and everything lines up from zero when imported into Cubase. I make no use of MIDI at all because the ...

Any plug-in that's been in the app for 20 years should have been folded in to the core functionality Finale may not be Open Source, but it does include a scripting language allowing plug-in developers to build out the facility of Finale. Here is where the standard / pro tier seems to live in Finale...

When I export files as audio tracks, I get intermittent crashes on my Mac - this began with a new i9 mac (6 core) and v25.5 to 27.x Finale update. The crash report is dozens (and dozens) of lines saying Aria this and Plogue that... not sure how to begin to debug this. The OS is Monterey. Ideas? At l...

Was just struggling with this as JW Polyphony for some reason wasn't working (I might need to update it). But I have TGTools Pro, which worked on one click. I couldn't find a Lua script that did this.

I do this by creating an expression with a tempo, along with a special expression for the tempo after the effect is complete. (I rarely put these in a score, but if required for proofing, I hide these.) I usually place these in a staff visible in studio view only It and it works very well for me - a...

Brass sounds blow Garritan's away. This depends on what you are expecting your audio to do. I write brass quintets - five solo instruments - for organizations whose budget only permits this, and having tried a number of libraries (and wasted the attendant amount of money) I have found only the Garr...

This Terminal Command works nicely.

sudo spctl --master-disable

Yes it does.

The extra speed really comes in handy when frequently needing to restart Finale.

Ridiculous.

That absolutely does not work any more. I've done that. It looks like Jari needs to register with Apple.

FIrst, I have to go through and activate them one at a time. Monterey pretends it's doing what it's asked - but on Finale relaunch, I just get the same message. Maybe Finale could program in an exception? JW doesn't come with package installers - TG Tools was fine. Alas I need JW because it does stu...

And when that doesn't work?

GPO5, GCPO, a couple up to date SFZs from active publishers, and Aria I go through this after every update and it takes weeks (months) to debug. Any theoretical gain in speed from my older quad core x 16 gb ram machine is not even recoverable. But I am getting far better audio...waaaay better. I can...

Just a vent. I don't expect much help, and besides, we need world peace. Please don't answer.

Answer: Install current Plogue Sforzando, which includes the correct Aria engine.

Following a Mac upgrade including Monterey, hence the demo of Finale 27.1, I cannot push the Aria Player high enough.... I was told I required Aria 1.961 (from 1.959) so I installed that, and look at the result. I can't find that one. (And why doesn't Finale simply install the required assets instea...

Where's the like button? Thanks @michelp.

nvm - i found a way using staff styles that works. now if I could only explode layers on a linked part.

I have cue notes in different clefs - but when I hide the cue notes (blank notation layer 4) I am left with clefs in the score in front of a blank measure or two. Is there command or a standard workaround for this I've overlooked? I'm hoping not to extract parts.

To up the realism - I tweak (as you do) FInale / Aria / GPO5 about as far as it can go, after which I have proof of concept for an audience of one (me). Because I am not famous, I need squeeze as much convincing realism out of my instruments as I can in order to sell the occasional score. (My end pr...

I posted something to this effect a few days ago - somehow somewhere some (not all?) audio assets needed for GPO5 have disappeared from my system, and even a fresh install of GPO5 from the correct download doesn't install them. All I have is some instrument (not all?) folders that are empty where th...

None of these worked. I try to assign a dynamic to a part, and I get the arrows for lyric baselines instead. Did all the steps outlined, and there was no change. When I export a music xml file, I see all the dynamics that didn't appear on the score I'm working on - which unfortunately is a score pro...
