Finale Forum

Exactly. Hence my similar admonition about Dropbox.

I have Autosave on but it's not been useful to me (plus I save every time I enter stuff into Finale or make an edit). The problem with Autosave is that it creates a file that may have edits you don't want; a better approach would be to have a system to save the original state of the file when first ...

TBH, I've yet to see one pop up. Maybe it's my ad blockers doing a good job.

He made it too irresistible, IMO.

Glad Finale is flawless or nearly so for you! It must be hard for you to read the many comments here by people looking for help whenever Finale doesn’t work for them. As you have pointed out many times, it’s likely their own fault and/or a consequence of their lack of knowledge, not the software. An...

Respectfully, I think you're missing the point. It doesn't work perfectly for everyone (and you may indeed be an n of 1 here). And what about enhancements, new features, etc? Finale seems to have stagnated. It works, but that's hardly a great statement. The user base seems to be dwindling, there is ...

It also occurred to me that we have not seen anything regarding Finale 28. Nor have I been part of any beta testing for a long time. This is not a good prognostic sign, folks.

I just read this and honestly, it depressed the hell out of me. And also annoyed me. Here's the comment I just posted: "As a multi-decade Finale user, this is perhaps one of the most depressing things I've read about Finale in a long while. It doesn't give me a warm and fuzzy feeling that Finale wil...

FWIW, while I have had JW Change Pitches working by using Rosetta (and giving it permission to run in System Settings), I've given feedback to MM that they should add it to the "official" bundled JW plugins moving forward, and the developer who responded was of the same mind as he uses it too. I fin...

I've noticed in several documents created in F26 and now opened in F27.4, expression playback settings are all messed up. For example, dynamics are mapped to Tempo: Screen Shot 2024-01-03 at 4.46.35 PM.jpg Screen Shot 2024-01-03 at 4.46.39 PM.jpg Same thing with technique text like con sord, etc. No...

Absolutely. Make sure you select the Aria player (or Noteperformer or any other playback engine) in ScoreManager, then in the player, select the cello (I used the cello-KS section from GPO5 but it will work with the included Garritan sounds in the ARIA player just the same). Make sure Human Playback...

I wonder whether if whoever wrote these plug-ins ever revisits them just to make sure they are still working correctly or if they do need updating. Again with the oblivious limited beta testing done by MM this too was probably missed. I already reported a bug with the updated JW Rhythm Copy to MM; ...

Your file is different from the top picture. Can you upload the version you're having trouble with? I removed most everything else to demonstrate the point (it was happening in that test file as well) since this forum won't accept the complete file ("too large.") And yes, I tried compressing it. Bu...

Have you checked the copy filter items? Have you tried it without the filter?

Yup. No difference

Does it insert correctly with complete measures? Partial measures individually, without stack selection?

Yes.I had tested that.

This one is baffling me, since it only seems to happen with partial measures selected to copy and insert in a new score I'm working on. I've tried to see if it was something I did to screw it up, like adding an extra rest, etc, but it isn't. I'm attaching some images (the maximum allowed file size f...

Perfect! Did not know about that. Thank you!

Hi Mike. Thanks but not the tuplet font, but the small number at the lower left (for note value in Speedy Entry) and the small number in the upper right (for tuplet value). Just would make it easier to read.

It would be great if, having invoked Caps Lock and the Option key (on a Mac) to enter tuplets and set the values (16th in this case), the fonts were larger given I'm using a 25" monitor. Any way to do this?

It also seems to have fixed the odd bug I had where the first page of a score, if a SMuFL font was used, was blank until I zoomed in. That's good! Well, I guess I spoke too soon. I opened a score of a new work in progress and first got the disappearing notes bug until I either hit Play or zoomed in...

Yup, I got something similar today as well. I have largely standardized on a different font anyway; this was an older version of a score and happened to notice the issue. Thanks.

The fact I remark Finale does what I want and runs very well is in fact helpful. It confirms that it is possible to have success with Finale. If you and certain others weren't so negative you may be able to see that. There is nothing special about me or my PC so if it works for me it will work for ...

Sure: Bug report

I noticed the same thing with an older score in which I had used Engraver Time for the large time signatures. Was not an issue before-usually this happens when I'm using a SMuFL music font and specified a non-SMuFL font for other elements. More recently, I don't use Engraver Time-I have standardized...

Oddly, it removed any files from the Open Recent dialogue. It also seems to have fixed the odd bug I had where the first page of a score, if a SMuFL font was used, was blank until I zoomed in. That's good! But I'm finding that some scores where i used large time signatures with the Engraver Time fon...
