Re: Another Garritan No Sound Question
The vibraphone going suddenly missing was due to a mismatch between Aria and Score Manager. There is still the problem of missing Glockenspiel sounds though. I checked the transposition in the Score Manager. I had it up an 8ve before due to the MIDI sounds. I changed it back to no transposition. The...

Re: Another Garritan No Sound Question
And even stranger. I tried changing the vibraphone staff to glockenspiel to confirm it was an issue with the instrument and not the staff. No sound. So I changed it back to vibraphone. Now there's still no sound. So a track that was fine is now silent. I restarted Finale. Same problems.

Re: Another Garritan No Sound Question
It gets stranger! When I change the instrument to marimba or xylophone, it works. When I set it at glockenspiel or crotales, there's no sound!

Re: Another Garritan No Sound Question
And now I have the problem where all the instruments work, except one for some reason. When I solo the track in Studio View, there is no sound at all. The channels listed in the Score Manager are out of order at that point, but it's just channel 2. Don't see what the problem would be? Any ideas, any...

Re: Another Garritan No Sound Question
Thank you! The audio setup seems to have been the problem. Strange that MIDI was working fine anyhow before. Also, while I was adjusting that I got the ol' “Finale’s audio engine failed to load. Please restart finale. Error code 7.” Of course I had already restarted Finale and the laptop before and ...

Another Garritan No Sound Question
Hello. I am not getting any sound when I attempt to use Garritan Instruments in my newly-installed Finale v26. I got a new laptop and installed v26. At that time I believe there was some alert that popped up regarding Garritan Instruments, and I'm not sure now what it said. But all the instruments s...

Re: Playback in wrong octaves.
Hmm. Maybe the problem is that glockenspiels transpose two 8ves higher than written, not two octaves lower, as one of the commenter's said, as perhaps as Finale does? Because that's the problem I'm getting right now. I wrote G4 so I expect to hear G6. Instead I'm hearing something lower. Also, I tri...

Double the durations and number of measures in all parts
I have a score in 4/4. Originally the tempo was going to be about 60. I've decided it should be 120 instead. So quarter notes will now become half notes, half notes become whole notes, etc. And there will be twice as many measures. Now, if I select all and choose "change... durations," it halfway wo...

Re: Audio Engine failed to load Error code 7)
I get this constantly. My question is - do I really need to restart Finale, or can I just keep working if I don't care about the audio in the program (which I don't)? Is it going to harm my files or the program if I do that?

Hello. I have created a shape with Expression Tool.

Hello. I'm using the line tool in Smart Shapes. Is there any way to adjust the line thickness on a case-by-case basis? When I go to "Smart Shape Options" from the Smart Shape menu, I can change the line thickness there. But it changes the thickness for all of the lines. Is there any way to just chan...

Applying default tuplet to existing tuplets
Hello - is there any way to apply default tuplet settings to existing tuplets? Or does the default setting only work on newly created tuplets? I have a score with hundreds of tuplets but want them to appear differently. I made a default tuplet the way I want it. Now I want to make those hundreds of ...

Re: System stuck on a specific page
Attaching the text boxes to measures instead of pages solved my problems! Now, just in case anyone is curious, I will say the following. When I started on page 4 and moved that system down, it *did* make that "dummy" system I put at the end disappear! And that made me remember that that was part of ...

Re: System stuck on a specific page
Measure attached text!! I didn't even know about that! I always leave notes to myself and get frustrated when they get moved around and this solves that problem. That should take care of this situation too. I'll see how it goes and let you know. Thank you!

Re: System stuck on a specific page
I am going to be adding markings and such to page 4, which has two systems on it currently. There isn't enough space on the page for both systems after I do that, so I am going to have just one system on a page for two pages. Therefore there will need to be more pages in the document overall. But th...

Thank you both. I am not able to delete the page break because it is greyed out in the menu, even when I select the system in question. I have attached the file here.

Hello - I am working with files that were originally created with Finale 93. They were later reopened and saved in Finale 2008. I am now opening them with v26. All of the versions were opened with Macs. The last system of music seems to be stuck on a specific page. I tried dragging the system downwa...

I just found a solution. Insert the hairpin in scroll view. Then it shows up with the open continuation hairpin on the next system.

Thanks everyone. For the record, I did find a solution to the situation.

However, I managed to find the original file -- and the articulat...

Re: Unable to add articulations to older file opened in v26
Peter - thank you. I see them now. I went to Load Library, then selected the Petrucci articulations and pressed Open. Still, nothing appears in the Articulations window (as in the screenshot). I tried the same thing with the Maestro articulations. Still nothing.

Re: Unable to add articulations to older file opened in v26
@motet: Thanks for asking. I am not confident about uploading a library to the document. For one, it's something I've never had to do before. For another, it seems that the document is behaving in most ways as if it were a Finale 93 or 2008 file. So I'm not sure what the "correct" library would be t...
