Re: playback on Finale 25 is slower than a turtle

I'm High Sierra/Latest Finale. Here are my Settings. Same with Mytek Dac, and Built-In Output. Look in Audio/Midi in Utilities Folder. Make sure Built-In Output (and Dacs, if you use any) are set to 24/96. As to why you don't have 4096, I believe there were those Incidents and Allegations.... ( Copy...

Re: playback on Finale 25 is slower than a turtle

Its in Midi/Audio/Device Set-up/Audio Set-up.
I set it 96 Sampling Rate, and 4096 Buffer.
Select your Source, Internal Speakers, or Dac.

Re: playback on Finale 25 is slower than a turtle

Is the Buffer in Device Set-up set to Max?
4096 is the highest in Mac, needs to be set there for glitch-free Playback.

Re: Vertical position of root note in slash chords

Hey, Thanks! I also use the Forward Slash, but it puts the suffix next to the chord symbol. I make a different one for each Bass Note I use, and Select as needed from the Chord Menu. Then you can use the usual Edit Suffix tools for exact placement. You may not like having the Suffix next to the Chor...

Re: Vertical position of root note in slash chords

How about this?
I used the Smart Shape line, positioned it under the top chord symbol,
then added the bottom chord symbol, and repositioned manually.
What are you using Numbers instead of the usual Chord Symbols?

Re: Can't Insert Notes

I was working on a File the other day, had no trouble inserting notes between other notes or rests.
I use Simple Entry and Mouse, latest Finale Version/Mac.
As long as the measure isn't already full.

I'm on Mac/High Sierra, latest Finale.
When it has happened to me, I just quit and relaunch.
Only happened 3 or 4 times.

Re: Can't Insert Notes

Maybe you need to un-check Check For Extra Notes in Simple Entry Prefs.
That would cause problems down the line, tho.

In iTunes there's an option to Convert to Wave, so iTunes should read it. Check the Prefs.

Re: Converting to Mp3 format

Choose Custom, and set it to the highest setting.
Then you retrieve them in the iTunes Folder in the Music Folder.
Works and sounds as good as it can, and they are easily e-mailed.

Re: Human playback inconsistent pt.2

What settings in Aria did you change?
And why?
When I've had dynamics or even tempi that weren't observed, I cleared Midi Data and all was fine again.

Re: Anchor the page

Why do you want to change the size of individual notes as you go?
That can be changed later after the piece is finished.
Note Size, Page Size can adjusted Globally.

Re: vertical line / microtones

Exactly how sharp is 6 cents sharper?
Quarter Tone? 8th tone? Minor 2nd ?
That kind of Precision might not be that easy to get.
I mean, 6, not 5 or 7?
Maybe a more general "Slide up a Quarter Tone" might be enough detail,
and get the job done.
