Re: Using Finale w/DAW, CineStrings or the like
Thanks for your thoughts on this. I'm still sitting on the sidelines, basically....lots of time occupied w/setting up a website to sell compositions, TONS of time producing high-level engraving for that purpose....haven't done much towards pursuing a DAW, although a very knowledgeable friend, expert...

Re: Suggestions for new desktop PC setup?
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...

Re: Suggestions for new desktop PC setup?
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?

Re: Expression Selection Dialogue Box opens reduced every time
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...

Re: Expression Selection Dialogue Box opens reduced every time
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......?

Re: Expression Selection Dialogue Box opens reduced every time
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...

Re: What am I missing about this program?
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...

Re: What am I missing about this program?
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...

Re: Can I reset the rehearsal numbers?
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!

Can I reset the rehearsal numbers?
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...

Re: Human Playback being difficult
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 ...

Re: Expression Selection Dialogue Box opens reduced every time
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. ...

Re: Expression Selection Dialogue Box opens reduced every time
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......

That's it: the box opens in a tight little reduced form each time, and I have to enlarge it manually.
