Finale version 25.5.0.290
Windows 10

Hi Finale Forum,

Window / Score Manager

-In the column INSTRUMENT I can' t modify anything , name, instrument... If I click the right arrow, a list shows down but I can't operate a change
First line: Blank Staff Second Line: Piano Third line : cello
-The column NAME has the right names I gave, but whatever name I input there will not be reflected in the column INSTRUMENT
-In the column DEVICE I can choose GARRITAN INSTRUMENTS for FINALE
-In the column SOUND I see STEINWAY PIANO however I am unable to modify it. If I click the right arrow on the right, a list appear, I make a choice but it comes back always to Steinway Piano. I have assigned different channels to each INSTRUMENT though.

It looks as if my song is cadenassed for the sounds.

Help appreciated
Thanks
Daniel

What happens if you do "Reassign Playback Sounds" in the MIDI/Audio menu?

Might be a corrupt Preferences file. Do you know how to regenerate the Preferences file?

I have also tried to reinstall Finale but it stays the same...

Since reinstalling Finale creates a new preferences file, then that won't be needed.

P.S.: Your profile says you are using 2014, yet your question is about v25. If you still have 2014 installed, does it have the same problem?
