On my system, the choir Oohs and Aahs sound one octave above concert pitch when played back through MIDI. They do play correctly through VST, but Finale becomes unstable on my PC when using VST; so I avoid using the VST option.

I have been adding 8vb, but then my score is technically incorrect. I see no pitch setting in HP preferences. Any way to correct the pitch of the choir voices when played through MIDI?

Either add the vb and hide it, or try transposition in the score manager.

Transposition "Up Octave" and the sound heard (an octave above playback) when entering a note had me confused, but playback now sounds correct to my ear. Thanks for the help.
