Re: Viola solo playback not in tune

I haven't had a single Inst go out of tune, but I've had number of Finale Files go crazily, bizarrely out of tune altogether. Time was the Gliss Smart Shape would set it off. Sometimes just one more entry, and it goes wild. Closing and restarting Finale fixed it, but was annoying and wasted time. It...

Re: playback output to headphones

Go to Privacy in System Prefs ( on a Mac ).
There's a prompt to allow Microphone, check it.
My copy of Reaper wouldn't pass the Mic signal unless that was checked,
should work for you on Finale.

Mac/Catalina 10.15.7

Hi,
I'm currently on Mojave, 10.14.6 and Finale 25.
If I get Catalina, 10.15.7, will I also need to get Finale 26, or will F 25 still work?
TIA!

Re: Artificial Intelligence to convert flat pdf's to MusicXML

Maybe just to keep the Electricity on and functioning. I was always hoping for the Version of...

Re: Ritardando playback

I use F 25/Mac/Standard HP, and it absolutely does Ritards.
Sometimes I use extra Ritard Expressions to customise the rate of Rit over several meas.
But it definitely works for me.

Re: Tempo slows down after measure 2

I cleared Midi and Tempo Marks from bar 2 to the end, made no difference,
so I added another Tempo Mark to bar 2.
Having the Flat 9th on beat one with an F9/13 Chord,
and having a Major 3rd one beat one with a Minor 7th Chord
seem to me to be odd choices.

I have a record of his Clarinet Quartet " Chamber Music for 4 Bb Clarinets."
It's played by the LA Clarinet Society, and it's a fantastic piece!

Re: Flip all accidentals

So, a guy passes out a new arrangement at a big band rehearsal.
He said, "Let's run through it, the first time just for the Notes.
Then we'll add the Sharps and Flats later...!"

Re: System Spacing Issue

I use the Page Layout Tool/Space Systems Evenly.
Then Select Page 1 ( in this case ) only, and allow 8 Staves per page.
Then I run Space Systems Evenly, Do Not Change the Number of Staves.
That will space it according to the margins Selected.
Takes a few seconds, works great!

Re: Measure spacing is messed up

Definitely too many notes/meas on that line.
Drop the last 4 bars to the next system.
Playing music with that many repeated sections to be counted by the player is maddening.
And there are so many notes to played and kept track of in addition to counting the repeats.
Glad I don't have to play it!

There are Accidentals to add to the Trill in Articulations.

Re: Short slurs look untidy

I find that Slur ends often aren't close enough to the notes, I usually drag the ends closer.
I'd do that to the Wide Slurs.
I prefer it that way.
Probably is Wrong, but...
The Top Part in the example, in the 3rd bar, seems to missing part of the Slur.

I just add extra rits here and there until I get what I want.
You could specify Tempo Markings that get smaller too, but I haven't needed to.
