Fermata Trouble
Posted: Thu Apr 09, 2020 6:37 pm
Using Finale 26.2.2 on a Mac. Been having this problem for over a year now. Can't figure a solution.
Here is a description of the scenario:
Piece starts at a given tempo (say MM=120). Piece then reaches a fermata. Following the fermata there is a new tempo (say MM=86)
When playing back, The fermata executes fine but whatever comes after the fermata is not at MM=86. It reverts back to MM=120. I have checked the playback parameters on the new tempo of MM=86 but Finale ignores this and goes back to whatever the original tempo was. It does this even after multiple fermatas. It's like a fermata cancels out any new tempo indication. The next tempo is always ignored and the playback reverts to the same old MM=120.
By the way. If I go to Scroll View and start the section after the fermata (the fermata is off-screen) the new tempo plays back at the correct value. It must be the fermata that is messing things up.
Any help appreciated.
