Finale Forum

I just noticed that there is an issue with Finale 25.5.0.259 playing a tie (I know the difference between tie and slur).
Finale only play the first note and drop the second. Am I the only one seeing this issue?

Thanks.

Can you post a sample file showing this misbehavior? Since ties work for me, I'm guessing there is something else going on.

Under Deice Setup, what is the Buffer setting?
Set it at Max.

When I tried to post a testing file (1.6MB), I am getting the following message:

The file is too big, maximum allowed size is 250 KiB.

Is there a way to get around this limit? I made a testing file with two measures only.

Thanks.

Regarding to the device setup, I set it to max of 4096 but the issue still remains. Thanks.

To reduce the file size of the {two measures} file, go to the Selection windows (= Articulation Selection, Chord Suffix Selection, Expression Selection, Shape Selection &c.), and delete the items there.

I did "Clear Selected Items..." to remove Articulation, Expression ... etc but the file size remains at 1.6 MB.

Just create a new file with a tie and send that.

If I make a new file, then tie is working o.k.
This means that there is something is wrong with that file.
If I remove everything except two measures, then this issue remains.
But I can't find what is causing this issue though.

What happens if you copy those 2 measures to another file?

Zuill

P.S.: Also, what happens if you re-enter those measures. Does the problem persist?

I found what the problem is. There is a conflict with chords.
If I remove chords, then there is no problem.
If I play notes while muting chords, then I hear silence form the second note of the tie.

This looks like a bug.

It works fine for me. How are you muting the chords?

The attached file shows the problem I mentioned.
I mute chord from the score manager.

I'm not sure this is a bug. It is just MIDI interfering with itself.

2 Workarounds:

1. In the Score Manager, still mute the chords, but change the channel of the chords to another channel.
2. Instead of muting chords in the score manager, uncheck the playback of chords (found at the bottom of the chord menu).

Zuill

Do you want to hear the chords play back ?
If you don't, uncheck "Enable Chords Playback" in the chord menu. The flute will hold the note as written.
If you do (most of us don't use it !), in the Score Manager, expand the Flute staff and give a different midi channel (and sound) to the chords. The flute will hold the note as written.

(same answer as Zuill)

That would solve the problem. Thanks!
