Have not run into this one before. Using V. 27 on a MAC. Concert Band piece. Playback is Noteperformer 3 All slurs are playing back correctly EXCEPT in the two Trumpet Staves. In those two staves alone the slurs are not playing back as slurs. I don't know where to head on this one since it is instrument specific. Any help appreciated.

I am surprised that you got a slur to work in playback. If your project involves producing an audio file, you can always simulate a slur by temporarily adding a second instance of the instrument and writing the melody in two parts: say the slur is C to D. The effect may be rendered by writing the C note a little longer, so it still sounds at the star of the D note.

I mix such audio clips in Ableton, but Audacity (free) handles them just as well and is easier to use. The audio clip can then be imported back into Finale if desired.
