Re: Garritan instruments not playing

I am giving up. I have always been a great fan of Finale and have recommended it to many people. But this problem with the sound has defeated me, and I can no longer allow myself to worry about it or try anything else. I have re-downloaded Finale 2014, the sound works fine, I can play all my music o...

Re: Garritan instruments not playing

I just discovered that if I copy my new pieces and paste them at the end of an old piece, then i can listen to them. Now I want to know how I can download the old Finale to my new computer!

Re: Garritan instruments not playing

I downloaded Finale again following the instructions onto a new computer. Now none of my new pieces have sound on playback. I get a message that I need to install sounds, but the instructions in Help are beyond me. Do I need to reinstall? Help, please. All of my old pieces will play as usual, but no...

Re: Cannot Delete Measure Stacks

I have the same problem, and mine STILL won't delete! My only solution has been to copy all the remaining measures of the piece and move them back to the empty measures. Time-consuming and very irritating.

Re: unwanted trill

I finally figured out that I should delete the measure and start over. I had to do it four times before the trill disappeared! Hopefully it won't show up again.

unwanted trill

I use Finale 2014 for windows. I have had a trill show up that I cannot get rid of. I have checked every layer and I have tried to 'unhide' anything on that note to no avail. I would appreciate any suggestions.

bizarro occurrence!

Finale 2014 for Windows I was working on editing a piece of music when Finale went crazy! All of a sudden I saw this faint depiction of a square in the upper left corner of my screen (too faint to see what was in it), and then all my music started disappearing to be replaced by quarter rests! It wen...

keeping newly-created expressions

In Finale 2018 for Windows:

Every time I begin a new piece I have to add my pedal notations in the expressions section. Is there any way to create new expressions that would be permanent??? It would save harpists SO MUCH TIME AND ENERGY!!!

Finale version 2018 for Windows is driving me crazy. Wish I'd never upgraded. What happened to the playback menu where you can tell it which measure to begin the playback?

Re: eighth note rest will NOT erase

I'm not sure how to attach a piece of music, but I'll try. The problem is in measure 14, first beat, layer 2, the eighth rest.

eighth note rest will NOT erase

I have a composition with an eighth-note rest in layer 2 that I cannot get rid of. It will not erase. I have deleted the entire measure, but it shows back up.

beams

I am writing in 3/4 time. I have an eighth rest and 5 eighth notes. I want my beams to go 3 then 2. I cannot make them do it! This pattern is the same for every measure throughout the piece.

I have just upgraded to 2014 Printmusic. I can't find the backward curved arrow that allows you to delete the last few steps you made. Has it been taken out of the program?

midi inputs wrong notes

Hi,

I was working with my midi, inputting notes, and suddenly the only note that shows up on my music screen is F, no matter what I am playing on the midi. I rebooted, and it still does the same thing. ???
