Finale playback problem
Posted: Sat Sep 08, 2018 2:17 am
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am having a problem with Finale playback. When I pressed play on the finale file, the file bugs and closes, saying that finale encountered a problem and had to shut down. Then, when I recovered the finale file, it was corrupted with grey "hidden" notes denoting the trills, temolos, etc of my piece. I was luckily able to rescue the file, but when I tried to play it again, it continued to shut down and exhibit the same problem. Restarting my computer and uninstalling/re-installing Finale didn't help.
I then narrowed down what I believed the problem was; when I went to my smaller files (fewer instruments, less measures) the playback had no problem. Then, I returned to the file which was originally having problems and removed some measures, and the playback worked again. However, when I returned the measures into the file, the file once again bugged and shut down. My file does have many notes on it and I suppose it is quite "dense," but the file doesn't seem too large, only being a bit over 600 Kb. Does my problem have to do with the size of my file? Is there anything I can do about this? Help is greatly appreciated, and thank you for your time.
Best,
Corey
P.S. Playback via holding the spacebar and selecting a measure to play from isn't a problem, only clicking the play button creates this bug, regardless of which measure I start from.
Edit: I narrowed down the problem even further. It seems this happens specifically when I use the trill continuation symbol on a double note in the horn. Can anyone illuminate why this is a problem?
