Re: No more Smartmusic synth playback

That did the trick. Thank you.
Didn't think it would work.
And as I like to understand things, I'm very frustrated !
Thanks again.

No more Smartmusic synth playback

Hello Forum I just don't know what I did. Everything was working fine. And then Smartmusic synth playback became silent. Everything is still working. I can start a piece, everything seems as usual. But no sound if I choose Smartmusic synth. I can route the playback to MIDI to Roland Keyboard. It wor...

Zoom in/out with mouse scroll

Hello
Mac user.
I'd be darn happy if I could zoom in/out in Finale with mouse scroll and a key.
This is a standard in all Adobe softwares and it is sooooooo... practical.
Is there a tweak to do that in Finale ?

Re: Midi echo : only one Keyboard for input/output

I had never thought of this. Thanks for searching. Unfortunately, what it does is deactivate the direct sound of the keyboard to leave only the Midi signal sent by Finale. The result is : I do have one note only, but the lagged one ! There is a significant (a half second) between pressing the key an...

Re: Midi echo : only one Keyboard for input/output

(System is High Sierra. Works fine). Alas, my keyboard IS my playback device (Roland FP30). It serves both for entry and rendering. I constantly need to be at the keyboard (to find the right chord or melody), and then back to the computer to write stuff in Finale. I need them both to communicate at ...

Midi echo : only one Keyboard for input/output

Hello Forum I have a very simple set up. Finale and just one midi keyboard. When I play the keyboard, it sends midi to Finale, which sends it back to the keyboard. And I hear a double note with a few milliseconds lag. Kind of unpleasant unvoluntary echo. Tried to switch off midi thru, but Finale fre...

Playback tempo uneven and bumpy

Dear Forum I' m on Mac Book Pro 2012, High Sierra 10.13.6. Finale 25.5 I only do very short pieces, piano sheets. I always playback with midi via bluetooth. My keyboard does the sound. The playback tempo is uneven. Sometimes it's quicker for just a couple of notes, or slower. No rule. Sometimes it's...

Very unstable playback

Playing a score via finale has been an ordeal so far. - playing thru Midi usual does no sound. - I have to "Play thru audio units" and choose randomly some sound bank I have on my mac. Results are erratic. - Sometimes, I come back to the score later (I am learning a voice), and poof, no sound. Didn'...

Re: Printing staves

thanks I've managed to get my voice on one sheet. But the whole "manage parts + edit part + print/format" options was just mind boggling. I am a professional user of Adobe Softwares, and I am used to rather complex interfaces. The Finale interface for managing / editing part is just outlandish and m...

Printing staves

Hello I sing. I need a "pocket format" sheet music for my voice. On the original score, I've deleted all staves but mine. And I now want to print it nicely on 1 or 2 sheets of paper. But there are blanks everywhere. https://imgur.com/ZkZz8XL I need to make it compact. Is there an automated laying ou...
