updating or revising instrument selection
Posted: Wed Nov 29, 2017 3:30 pm
Latest Finale / Latest Mac OS.
This has got to be a beginner's question.
I'm working on a piano score. I started it about twelve
years ago using whatever version of Finale was then current.
Put it on the shelf when I got to parts that were over my
head Finale-wise.
I now have the latest Finale running on the latest Mac OS
and have acquired Garritan Personal Orchestra 5.
When I look at the Instrument List tab in the Score Manager
window, it says (and I can hear) that it's still using the
standard SmartMusic SoftSynth Grand Piano sound. If I look
at the MIDI/Audio => Sound Map Priority window, GPO5 is
present and listed first.
However, I need a little hand-holding here ... How do I get
it to change the instrument to the Steinway Model D in the
GPO5 library? I've clicked on a bunch of stuff and don't see
it.
I should add that other scores I've produced new since
acquiring GPO5, including one piano score, do have the right
sound assigned. So it's evidently just a matter of updating
from a score originated long ago.
(And yes, I did the switch to .musx files on all my stuff
long ago.)
Thanks.
