I have FINALE 26.2.1 and I have MAC OS Catalina
I want to use HUMAN PLAYBACK and not have Finale crash as soon as I press playback.
Any ideas?

Is this true in all documents, or just some of them?

Have you recreated the Preference file?

You might also try Clear Selected Items > MIDI Data

Hi Mike,

I was having persistent crashing problems with Finale 27, Mac OS Ventura 13.5.2, on all files, even ones that had previously played back correctly last week. Every time I hit Play it would immediately crash.

Your suggestion to Clear Selected Items > MIDI Data cleared it right up; thank you very much for that.

I am, however, having trouble understanding what had gone wrong, and why this worked. Especially since files that previously crashed would now play back WITHOUT me invoking the "clear MIDI data" solution. I only needed to do it on ONE file and they all started to work again. Do you have any insight?
