I appreciate your reply but some of it is a bit over my head. I tried turning off just about everything on the Human Playback Preferences Dynamic/Volume Tab. Nothing seemed to help. It is probably my ignorance about the program. I guess I will just have to live with it.

Thanks, again.

I am finding that when I turn on Human Playback, longer notes (half notes, whole notes) seem to have a built-in crescendo that tends to get really too loud on some instruments. In my case, the Flute part. Is there a way to adjust this? Also, if I may, is there a way to apply Human Playback by indivi...

This is a tough one, I think. I would like to change the Chord Symbol playback sounds to be different in the opening measures than in the rest of the piece. For example, in the first 8 measures, I have the chord symbols in a separate channel and set up for "Instant Orchestra/Orchestra Power Hits". T...

Can you copy an instrument in the Score Manager? I'd like to copy the one instrument and then just change the sound selection.

I feel like a jerk.
My sincerest thanks for your help. Greatly appreciated.

I truly appreciate your advice but it didn't work. I guess Finale just has playback "issues". I'll just live with it. Not much else I can do. They really should address this sometime.

Many, many thanks. Let me try and digest this and I will give it a try and let you know how I make out. I do really appreciate your advice.
Be well, stay safe and I'll let you know.

I am going nuts with this. I have a couple of measures where the notes are slightly different on Layer 1 vs. Layer 2 for each of two passes. The attached file shows what I mean. Capture.PNG How can I set this up so that the separate parts are played on their respective layers with each pass? The bla...
