creating videos for Finale scores
I would like create scrolling videos of my Finale scores for use on my Youtube channel etc. I also realize that Finale does not have this export to video feature like other apps do - though I wish that Makemusic would build this into a future release! I have Finale 27 and the full suite of AVS4YOU e...

exporting Finale scores to video
HI all, This may well have been discussed before, and I may be late to the table. I was wondering how I might create videos of my Finale scores with scrolling and sync'ed audio. I'd like to create videos of my scores with playback audio. I have Finale 27 (Windows 10/64-bit) and the full Garritan Per...

Piano Pedal marking and Playback
Is there anything special I have to do in Playback settings to make the Piano Pedal marking sound during playback? I am drawing the pedal marking with the Smart Shape / Custom Line tool, and I've been trying a few different Human Playback styles including setting that to "None" and I'm not sure I he...

Guitar bends and styles
I'm working on transcription project that will be laid out in Adobe Illustrator or InDesign. I've always struggled with notating guitar bends despite using Finale for almost 30 years. In the attached example, I have bends where the bend is into the note, and the target note does not occur on the bea...

Re: Scrolling and Playback issues
Oddly enough it seems like I could get the scrolling to work better with previous versions of Finale and on my older slower computer. Now I have a newer machine with plenty of horsepower and I start having these types of problems with Finale. Funny how the tech world is sometimes. I will probably le...

Scrolling and Playback issues
I seem to have some playback issues that impact the Scrolling feature and vice-versa. For me this is Finale 26.3.1.510 under Windows 10-64 bt 1. Play Finale through VST -Scrolling does not work; is very late in tracking across the page if it works at all -Playback Audio is wonderful though; I can us...

Re: Creating Rubato for playback
I couldn't really get the Rubato function in the playback settings to work to my liking. But using hidden expressions tied to tempo fluctuations seemed to work pretty well. I need to tweak it some more but I think I am getting there with it.

Re: Creating Rubato for playback
Yup, sorry for not being a bit more specific. #2 of what you list is more what I need for this particular example I am working on in Finale. Brief tempo fluctuations over a small span of measures. How do I get the Playback or Expression settings to reflect this?

Creating Rubato for playback
It's been a long time since I've had to do this in Finale, so long that I've forgotten. I'm using Finale v26.3.1.520 (Windows 10) now and I'd imagine it is different now. How do you create rubato in the Finale playback for a short span of measures.

Re: Template file - no sound from playback
I changed the Windows sampling rate to 44.1 and rebooted the computer. Still same issue - playback audio is now fine, but scrolling does not initiate until after the playback ends.

Re: Template file - no sound from playback
My Sampling rate in Windows is currently set at 16 bit, 48khz. Sound works great in my browser and for other apps like ITunes etc.

Re: Template file - no sound from playback
A restart of Finale worked kind of - strolling works but it is well behind the actual audio. I've entered a 4-bar phrase, and the scrolling only starts after the audio is finished.

Re: Template file - no sound from playback
Reload MIDI Driver didn't fix the scrolling. Playback sound is great, just no scrolling. The cursor will start but won't scroll.

Re: Template file - no sound from playback
I notice when switching to DirectSound the actual audio playback is fine, but the scroll still doesn't work right. It is off, behind, or sometimes doesn't work at all.

Re: Template file - no sound from playback
I usually use ASIO. But I just tried DirectSound and that seems to work ok. WASAPI works too but not nearly as well. Is there some what Finale interacts with ASIO mode that can cause trouble?

Re: Template file - no sound from playback
The file you provided didn't play back for me either - same issue, no playback sound and no scrolling. Here is the file I created and am working on.

Re: Template file - no sound from playback
I clicked on both "Reload MIDI Driver" and also "Reassign MIDI Sounds" and neither of those helped. Attached is my Instrument List from Score Manager if that helps.

Template file - no sound from playback
Hi all, In Finale 2016, I just created a new string quartet from the Template file. I've entered one measure of music - and I am getting no sound from the playback. And it is not scrolling during playback either. Contrast that with using the Setup Wizard, if I create the same quartet there and follo...

Hi all, I'm working on piece of some guitar tabs. I've ran into this issue before and I can't remember how to fix it. I have a segment of guitar tab in Finale (2015 for Windows) that is going to the wrong octave or fret (as evidenced by the circle area - note how the circle area shows the wrong fret...

I got the error to go away by going to MIDI/Audio / Device Setup / Audio Setup - and then changing the Audio Driver to DirectSound. But then when I open the Finale file of a string quartet that I am working on, in that file, I have now lost all of my VST sounds. They're all missing and can't be foun...

Re: Lyrics tool: Melisma lines question
Here's a screenshot. I'm working on chart of 'La Bamba' for a project hence the Spanish. I did add extra space to measure 11 and that worked - it did show the melisma line for that syllable. But I'm a bit concerned that it makes the spacing look off when compared to the measure directly below it. I ...
