Finale Forum

I re-downloaded Finale after saving memory on my laptop for a while. I bought the Finale 27 upgrade. When I first downloaded it, I also input the GPO5 soundset to it. It all looked and sounded great yesterday. Today, I opened it up and it was fine, until I minimized and then opened up a YouTube vide...

I am writing a piece with 8 bars of straight 16th notes. For all 8 bars, the first 16th note in the measure is louder than the rest. Is there a setting where I can change this? It sounds almost one dynamic level louder. Also, they are staccato notes. When I change the duration of staccato to 50%, so...

I am writing in 6/8 (edit, this also applies to 12/8 in the attached picture), and want to have two bars of straight quarter notes. I'm using a midi keyboard with HyperScribe. I want them to look like quarter notes, and not like the picture below, with tied eighth notes in between quarter notes (the...

The longer way in Simple Entry worked!!!!!!

Do I turn on “Insert Notes or Rests” at all while creating the entire nested tuplet?

I’m sorry. This is truly what I meant (picture below). Just like your picture. I’m arranging a piece. It’s in 2/4. There are three quarter note triplets, and between each triplet there are 3 eighth note triplets. I imagine it like having accents on each quarter triplet with two notes after each acce...

Yes, I am trying to get "B" from Peter's reply, except all eighth notes.

Motet, I did all the steps from your reply, and I got this. This shows my process going step-by-step. Where do I go from here to get 9 eighth note triplets total?

I am writing in 2/4 and want 3 triplets, with 3 eighth notes nested inside each quarter triplet. I have tried what others here have suggested, Speedy entry and using the tuplet tool, but I always end up with crazy dotted notes at the end of the bar. Can anyone help?

I created the new map, using GIfF sounds only, those 3 percussion instruments. Still didn't work. It's definitely an issue with using 2 orchestral and 1 fusion drum kit instruments together. I don't know how to use different layers, one for snare and bass, and the other for hi-hat. I mean, I know ho...

I’ve been trying everything I know to try and get 3 percussion instruments to play back on one staff. It’s just not working for me. I need orchestral snare drum and bass drum, and then hi-hat cymbal (closed) on the same staff. Right now I am able to get snare and bass to sound when playing them back...

I'm using a Jazz Fusion Drum Kit for Low Tom sound. When I input notes, the drum sounds extremely soft (even at fortissimo dynamic). When there is an accent placed, the drum sounds very loud compared to the regular note, like 3-4 dynamic levels louder than the normal note when accented. I want a mix...

Is there any way for me to find a clip of a slapstick sound, and then download it into Finale to use as an instrument? I see that I can use it as an audio file, placing the sound in different parts of the score, but the slapstick in the piece of music is played quite a bit. Does that make sense what...

I'm working on a piece in Finale 2014.5 that uses wood slap in percussion. I don't see that sound in any percussion maps (I have only what came with Finale, including Garritan and a downloaded Aria player). Has anyone tried to mimic the sound, and with what instrument(s)?

Thanks!
