JW Change Pitches

[miker]

JW Change Pitches is not in the Finale bundle, and when I tried to load it, I got the message that it wasn't approved.

Does anyone have a useful replacement?

Wasn't approved? The "beta" works on Windows F27. Do you have a Mac with a non-Intel processor?

JW Change Pitches (the 64 bit version) should work if you launch Finale in Rosetta mode on the Mac.
If you get the message "Unidentified developer", check this video by Nick Mazuk :

An alternative exists in the "full" version of TGTools -> Modify -> Replace Pitches.
And there is a script for RGP Lua : "Pitch Changer" : https://www.finalelua.com/scripts (quite similar to JW Change Pitches, but written by Carl Vine to be compatible with M1, M2 processors on the Mac).

Perhaps cv186 is Carl Vine?

[michelp]

Apparently yes. He created many scripts.

FWIW, while I have had JW Change Pitches working by using Rosetta (and giving it permission to run in System Settings), I've given feedback to MM that they should add it to the "official" bundled JW plugins moving forward, and the developer who responded was of the same mind as he uses it too. I find it useful.

BTW, I just tried the Pitch Changer .lua script (thanks for the link-I somehow had missed that). In some ways I like it better, since it is more straightforward and, importantly, doesn't require Rosetta (although I have some other JW plugins that I do like to use from time to time and those are not updated for Apple Silicon). Thanks!

Thanks to you all. After sitting through Jason's Installing Lua video, I have successfully installed both the RGP Lua, and the Change Pitch plugin.

Happy camper, once again!
