Is there a way to quickly change all devices in Score Manager from Garritan Instruments
for Finale to Aria Player without doing each instrument manually?

To Aria Player. Is there a way to change the device from Garritan Instruments
for Finale to Aria Player without doing each instrument manually? It's located in
the Score Manager(Ctrl+K) - Instrument List then look under Device.

I have never had to do that. Garritan plays through the Aria Player by default. You can access the Aria player through the Midi/Audio menu.

If you do need to change that in the Score manager, I think the only option is to do it one at a time.

I'm using JABB 3. Unless there's another way each device (Garritan or Aria Player) must be
selected.

Maybe someone has discovered how to do this. I don't know.

I know there's a window where one selects the priority of VST plugins. I'm not sure this would affect your situation, but worth a try.

I would like to see a "Select All" button on several of the Score Manager settings.

I'll look into that. I've been using Finale since the early 90's and I'm still learning.

I'm thinking of making templates of orchestras and bands I use. Maybe that'll save
some time in the future.
