No need. Somebody has had the same problem, maybe with another instrument, and will answer.

I'm writing a part for penny whistle using Garritan's "Clark's Penny Whistle in G" that came with Finale 25.

It's not responding to dynamics or volume control. It's constantly playing FFF.

Any help or ideas will be appreciated.

Windows 10, Finale 25 and VST.

What is the SFZ editor? I've tried searching for it but haven't found anything helpful. Once you understand how they work, it's easy. Any text editor will work. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SFZ_(file_format) http://www.keyboardmag.com/miscellaneous/1265/create-your-own-virtual-instruments-with-sfz...

The last response was in 2010. It's now 2016. I'm writing a bass concerto and the Garritan bass range that came with Finale 2014.5 goes to D6. Far lower than a typical bass concerto range. I need more range! Like an octave and a half. Is is possible to do today what wasn't in 2010? If you know the a...

Let's both back off with the personal insults, and let me pose a situation. You go to the hospital, and say, "It hurts." You might even say, "My head hurts." This is apples and oranges. The problem, that has been fixed, was very easily done so by another poster via pm. How did it get fixed? Peter i...

How stupid of me. Here I assumed that, expert user that you are, you had already tried setting the widgets to ABC, and it it didn't work, and so, you had a problem You made several unintelligent assumptions. 1. Had I set me widgets to abc then all would have been well. 2. I'm not an expert nor has ...

Oh, by the way, the problem as since been solved. I set my widgets to
abc and all is well.

If you want to know how to do that then ask Peter, whom I believe is a
very nice person but not a problem solver.

No? Then how was he supposed to figure out what is causing your problem? Figuring it out wasn't necessary. You know it, I know it and he knows it. There is a way to create a MIDI file using Garritan sounds. 1. Set your widgets to abc. 2. That's how it's done. Yes. It's that simple. You're no help, ...

Let's be a little more polite... Peter is trying to find out as much as he can, so he can try to give you a correct answer. He doesn't work for Finale (nobody here does,) and is under no obligation to tell you anything at all. I was very polite. There was simply no need for 20 questions. Secondly, ...

Does anyone know how to solve my problem?

If you do then please provide the necessary information to
solve the problem.

Thanx!

Let me get this straight: You are using Finale 2012 with the Garritan sounds, and you are saving from Finale 2012 as MIDI, right? And the exported MIDI files only have piano sound, right? 1) What settings have you chosen in the dialog box "Export MIDI File Options" (see the screen shot)? ExportMidi...

Which piano sound do you hear? Is it the Garritan Steinway Piano? Or is it the SmartMusic SoftSynth Grand Piano? I don't know. What if it's SmartMusic Softsynth? What it it's Garritan. Maybe I should ask how to make a MIDI file that uses the sounds on the piece. All I know is that before 2012 there...

I have Finale 2012 and I'm using Garritan sounds. Why do the
MIDI files only play with the piano sound? I want the instruments
to be heard.

All of a sudden my Hyperscribe isn't working. It was just fine and then pfffft!

To my knowledge nothing has been changed. Even when I open a new document the Hyperscribe doesn't work.

HELP!!!
Don the Arranger in danger

I'm trying to find out why I couldn't find the answer. Was I calling it the wrong thing? I tried searching for Prefix, which is musically correct. That flopped real big.

Any help. I remember when Finale used non-pro lingo in the 80's. Musicians couldn't find anything. Now it's so much better.

How do you remove a CODA system if you at a later time decide to alter the CODA? I do not seem to be able to remove it. I'm using Finale 2007 This might be what you want. Click the 'Repeat Tool' icon. It should put a handle on the coda and the repeats. Highlight what you want removed and push the d...

So easy. Thanks a lot.
Don

I'm trying to change the size of the font for chords. For example I have an A7 chord. I've changed the suffix size, that was easy. BUT I can't find how to change the A to a larger size. Every chord needs to be larger because we work in low light situations.

HELP!
