Finale Forum

Hello tdlucas, I too was having this problem with a particular spot in one of my pieces. I duplicated the problem on a test score. For me, the problem was the use of a fermata in the measure preceding the accel. If I started the accel on the first beat after the fermata measure, the playback did not...

Zuill,
You are the BEST. That fixed the playback rhythm problem for both Internal MIDI and my Clavinova!
Thanks to all for your time and expertise.

Motet, My friend verified your finding, that the playback from my score fragment is normal on his machine as well. That leads me to conclude the problem is in my machine, hardware, or setup. Does anyone have MIDI device setup recommendations for my situation? Here is my hardware: midi controller (Ya...

Motet, I have asked a friend to try to duplicate the problem on his machine. I took a short video of the problem measure, but I don't think I can upload it. Maybe someone else will have some ideas. It is really just an annoyance when you are creating the score and you want to verify the sound. At le...

More information. If I save audio to MP3, it sounds correct. The unevenness is only apparent when I play it live from Finale. I tried to upload my mp3 sample, but it says invalid extension.

Motet, Thank you so much for your time and replies. I started a new project, and I have removed many variables, but it clearly exemplifies some of the playback issues. In the attached example, I did NOT use hyperscribe to enter the rhythms. I used the keyboard method to select the note values and us...

Interesting. When I set Human Playback to none the clarinet part is at the softer volume both times. BTW, in Human Playback preferences, I have the options on the MIDI tab set to Ignore Data for all options.

Thank you for your replies Motet. I have downloaded and installed Audacity on my Windows 10 machine. That worked great to convert to MP3. The problem with playback seems to be mostly audible when I playback through the midi connection to my midi controller (Yamaha Clavinova CLP-124). I am using the ...

Hello forum. I am having exactly this same problem. I tried the clear option (with only MIDI options checked). No help. I then tried the playback options, unchecked everything, and still the gross rhythms that look correct, (because I quantized down to the eight note), but sound is embarrassing. I a...
