Hi all...Mac Finale 2014.5

I'm having issues with the playback freezing if I am anywhere but the top of the piece...my settings in playback include the leftmost measure, and it is set for Jazz Band...

Any ideas? I have already shut down the entire computer, as it does occasionally get 'tired', but to no avail...

All your help is much appreciated...thx

What OS? How much RAM? Do you reboot daily?

Memory leaks have become a fact of life. Maxing the RAM and rebooting daily made the problem go away for me. Rebooting daily is free. See if that helps.
