Finale Forum

That's a shame. I'll miss them and their insightful, thoughtful comments.

Yeah I checked on the supposed user and they apparently joined the forum at the same time they created the post with the nonsensical "Finale 2020" designation. The post itself reads like a typical AI-generated comment/review you often see these days, which I should have recognize right away. I can o...

Wow I think you are correct. I deleted my response and just noted that it's years late. What is the upside on this? What would be the motivation/purpose?

My post was from several years ago.

Yes, that was my make the window a little bigger or a little smaller, and see if it sticks. Yes, I always tried that first: just adjusting the borders. But now I see it is holding the same borders/parameters on every piece....that is, I adjusted the borders manually, and it maintains what I adjusted...

Funny thing is, I am NOT running v. 26.....I did install v. 27, I just double-checked just in case- and it says v. 27.4.1.110. The mystery is where they are storing the new folder....regardless, if I can just put this issue to rest, I'll be more than happy. And it appears to be the case, so THANKS.

Well, the window does open normally after making the change. previously it was: SelArticWinpos=685 282 1235 869 I changed setting to: 685 282 1535 1169 Do we expect things to now work going forward......? I'm inclined to not look a gift horse in the mouth, etc. Note: I did not see Finale 27 in the M...

Thank you, I will try that tomorrow morning. Hope it works.

Hi, thanks for the suggestion, which I NEED, as this problem simply will not go away, even after I upgraded to V. 27. Done complete uninstall/reinstall more than once, tried everything...no luck. However when I go to Window, I do not see those options (maybe it's a MAC thing?) I have "Tile Windows V...

Be careful there. This forum doesn't like it when Finale works for you especially if it works well.

Haha.....yep...."pride goeth...", etc. etc....but it's great to hear! I love Finale too, in spite of occasional tear-your-hair-out periods.

ebiggs: UNDERSTOOD! When I said, "if I was starting out" I meant "When I was just doing horn parts," etc, etc. At that time, for such simple stuff, an inexpensive (free?) program would have been fine; Finale was capable of orders of magnitude more than that. Now, today, no way would I "skimp"- I'd u...

Years ago when I was just writing/transcribing horn section parts, I used a primitive version of Finale my brother gave me, and it was ideal: very simple, intuitive, no issues. If I was starting all that today, I'd probably use something like Muse or another free program. When I decided to start com...

Well, that worked! It was a matter of correcting the right one....A and B would duplicate....in other words there was a false one created, and if I reset from either, I'd just get A A B, or A BB, or BBC, etc. Once I started w/C, all was well. Thanks!

Finished piece months ago (engraving, etc., score + 8 parts), everything just fine, but last week I decided to revise a short section near the beginning, and now the rehearsal numbers are off: A appears properly, but where B should be It's A again; and every subsequent number is similarly off by one...

You can try MIDI tool/Apply Human Playback/Clear items.

Thanks, I'll try that.

Absent anything specific, you're wasting your time posting here.

Thanks!

I'm not sure about tremolos per se....maybe that's related to what's happening? The playback sounding "off?" Sorry, I wish I could be more specific about what HP is producing on playback....it just sounds "primitive," for lack of a better term; it's "missing something." fwiw: What I usually get from...

HP decided to start being difficult today....same doc I've been using all along, now it is messing with some of the articulations HP certainly has bugs, but it isn't conscious, so--assuming you've tried rebooting--if something changes it's because of something you did. LOL- thanks; I understand HP ...

HP decided to start being difficult today....same doc I've been using all along, now it is messing with some of the articulations: not holding some notes out, being long when it should be short, etc. Not everywhere, just on certain things, but all throughout the piece. I turn off HP, everything's fi...

Try closing the document, exiting Finale then re-opening the document. If the problem persists but does not appear in a new document then it is corrupted. Finale is a wonderful program but very unstable: the more I edit a document, the probability of running into the issue you describe multiplies. ...

I guess I didn't understand the comment: "I think the various window and palette locations and dimensions are stored in the Windows registry rather than per-document. I don't know why it's not updating your changes. A reinstall might fix it." Regardless, I hate to say it, but the problem returned......

Well, since Motet suggested it's probably Windows-related more than a Finale issue, I tried the old "clear browsing data" (AGAIN- already tried it a couple times before), as well as Finale Forum cookies, and now it is working again. Happy to be back to normal, not looking a gift horse in the mouth, ...

That's it: the box opens in a tight little reduced form each time, and I have to enlarge it manually. Have tried closing/opening Finale many times, I looked all around Preferences in every category (I think), made sure "window states when exiting/starting" etc. are checked....looked up the issue onl...

Yeah, me too! Weird one.....but good to know. In dealing w/my elderly mom's difficult year before she passed, doctor(s) would say things like "We can improve kidney function by doing xyz, but it may negatively impact the heart." All sorts of stuff like that, which taught me how all systems are relat...

Okay, this is SOLVED! But in a really curious way: I was on the phone w/MS tech support, and I mentioned the issue I was having w/Finale, "which obviously isn't a MS issue," is how I put it, but he had me show him the exact issue on Finale (he's sharing screen), and he says hmm....he looks it up and...
