Hi, I'm back to Finale after a few years of absence :?

The issue today is that I've prepared a score for my rhythm classes using the claves, written on a single-line staff.
All is fine, except that when I play the audio, I get two different pitches.

It's not an imported video as the file was created in Finale.

I am on Mac and input the notes with the mouse. I tried changing the instrument, for example to Marimba, and got two notes (G,A), corrected it in the marimba version (only A note), back to claves, but the issue remains.

Thanks!

Can you post the file here? I'm sure the gurus can figure it out.

It appears that you have two pitches for the claves loaded. If you select a note in the first measure, it will read Claves (2), but if you step through the notes with the right arrow, you will get to a measure where it just says Claves. You can use the up or down arrows to get to the other sound.

I don't know percussion, so I can't dig out where the error occurred, but it's an easy fix.

Amazing! It worked!
Only the arrows needed to correct it in 3 seconds.

Thanks so much for your help!
