Just wanted to let you know that the article "Finale hangs when launched" referenced in the link you sent, did the trick! I followed the instructions and Finale launches perfectly now. Many, many thanks!!!

Finale Failing to Load
Finale is failing to load. It looks like it's trying, but the little blue circle just keeps whirring round and round, and I just have to exit and go do something else. I've done all my computer diagnostics and everything is working fine. Any suggestions for my way forward? I use vs. 25 with Windows ...

Re: Beginning Second Movement With a Pickup
Thank you so much. It worked! This is exactly what I did before but I was initially put off by the fact that the notes that were in the bar disappeared and were replaced by a dotted quarter rest with an enormous space after it. I figured I'd done something wrong. This time, after following your inst...

Beginning Second Movement With a Pickup
I have a piece of music for flute and string orchestra in two movements. The first movement is in 4/4 time; the second is in 6/8 beginning with an eighth note pickup. I have tried to create a pickup bar at the beginning of the second movement and have followed the instructions in the manual exactly,...

Re: Moving a Voice into a Separate System After Completion of Score
I am SO sorry! I didn't even speak proper musical speak, let alone Finale Speak! As I look back at my work I see that, in fact, the Baritone Solo IS correctly separated from the SATB choral lines but Finale is not placing the rehearsal letters or the tempo markings above the baritone solo line. I mu...

Moving a Voice into a Separate System After Completion of Score
Hi, I have just completed a score for a work that, from top to bottom, includes SATB Chorus, Baritone Soloist, and String Quintet. I set up the score with Chorus and Baritone Soloist all in one system but I've decided now that I would like to separate the solo line from the rest of the voices in ord...

Re: Part Appears in Score but not in Editable List
Thanks for the ideas. I'm afraid attaching the file probably won't help because there is now a new Harp Part which I created while trying to figure this out and it overwrote the original one. So I can no longer show you that it disappeared. I suspect that I must have accidentally deleted it. I will ...

Re: Part Appears in Score but not in Editable List
I already did and managed to write over the old one which apparently was still there although not in the list. (Yes, I'm talking about the Document > Edit Part list.) This means I have to start from scratch setting it up again the way I want. I stupidly used the same filename. Fortunately, I already...

Part Appears in Score but not in Editable List
I am trying to retrieve my harp part which appears in my score but no longer appears in the list of editable parts. I had already made a beautiful part but it requires a small edit. Now I can't retrieve it. Any ideas what could cause this?

Unwanted hyphens showing in cues with lyrics
I am needing to include some short cues with lyrics that end in mid-word. The cues are appearing correctly except that a long series of hyphens continues for several bars until the next cue begins. I can't find any way to delete these unwanted hyphens. Any idea what I could do here? Thanks! (vs. 25)

Re: Cue Notes Not Appearing
Yes! Somehow "show active layer only" was selected. Never saw that before in my life! My lap-top's poltergeist must have been at work. I'll remember about this if it happens again. Many, many thanks!

Cue Notes Not Appearing
I'm trying to enter some simple cues and the only thing showing up is the cue name and a decrescendo. When I try to retrace my steps and start over, Finale prompts me to choose a different Layer for the cue destination because there's already something in Layer 4. That tells me the program has recog...

creating a custom dynamic marking
I would like to create a rinforzando (rfz) marking. This should look like sfz but with an "r" instead of an "s." Finale is interpreting my "r" as the stem & flag of an eighth note. How do I get an "r"?
Thanks for your help!

Re: String Harmonics don't play back correctly
Hi again. Everything is working great! Thanks for your help. I made sure all the harmonic passages were done with the plug-in and then played back only the part that contained the harmonics so I could hear it clearly. Everything's great! Thanks again!

Re: String Harmonics don't play back correctly
Thank you for your responses. Sorry to be so slow replying! I'd like to re-examine my file. I know that I began by simply changing the type of notehead but then discovered the plugin.

Does anyone know how to get string harmonics to playback correctly? Finale seems to be recognizing the harmonic as the printed pitch. Any ideas?

I have a simple time signature change from 2/2 to 3/2. The number of beats in the bar is changing correctly but the time signature is still displaying as 2/2 in the 3/2 measures. What can I do to get the display to show correctly? Thank you!

Re: Removing staff name from only one staff
I've got it! I decided I didn't need the group anyway, so I deleted the group and worked with the "Staff Name" instead, with your instructions. Worked perfectly! Thank you so much for your help! My choral score looks MUCH better now!

Re: Removing staff name from only one staff
I created a new staff style, and turned off the button for including the Staff Name in the parts. I applied the style to the first bar of the line in my score where the unwanted name was appearing. It's still there. I think my problem may be that it is a "Group Name" that I want to turn off rather t...
