The instruments "Percussion" and "Drum Set" does not react to dynamics. They perform pp and ff equally. All the other instruments in my orchestra score performs dynamics. Any idea what might be the problem? (I have Finale27).

Not sure any perfume is the solution.
But it's ludicrous that someone should have to pay for a plug in or sound library to possibly fix a problem within Finale. That's a non-solution in my opinion. I could just as easily say "get a Mac since your PC isn't working."
I've never noticed any of my few percussion scores having this issue, so I'm wondering if it is a problem with a specific file. Could you possibly post it here and I and others can take a look? Thanks.

I rarely use Garritan, but I've noticed with my VST plug-ins that HP (sometimes even keyswitches) doesn't always work with older files that were created in earlier versions of Finale. If that's your situation I'd suggest testing by opening a new v. 27 blank file and adding the instrument(s) that are giving you trouble. If the dynamics work in the new file that might be the answer.

Wow, you're the first person I have ever run into that doesn't use any plug-ins with Finale. Since they all either fix or make things easier in Finale. Just because Garritan comes with Finale does mean it is part of Finale but I bet you still use it.But it's ludicrous that someone should have to pay for a plug in or sound library to possibly fix a problem within Finale.

A plugin to make things easier is different than one to fix a problem. The first is a boon to the user, but the second should be addressed and fixed by the programmers.

I tried out with Drum Set, and found that the problem just related to triangle and not the other instruments. On triangle in Drum Set, dynamics have no effect. But if I create triangle (from Percussion) as an individual system in the score, it follows dynamics. Thanks for your answers!
