Finale Forum

As anybody who uses Finale may already have noticed, one of the biggest disadvantages of this program, is ability to view the whole score during playback. I think its great competitor ( I mean Sibelius) has a very huge advantage on this case.

Why would you want to view an entire score at once? I would think that a long score would be reduced so much, that you wouldn't see anything but the green line moving.
If you want to view a single page, that's easy enough, by reducing the view. Then, you can see your page, and recognize where the score is playing.

That's exactly the kind of response you get when you ask Sibelius support how to do something unusual.

Anyway, this feature has been available in Finale for many years. In page view, click on View > Show Multiple Pages and zoom out (Ctrl -) so you can see all the pages at once. But as you say, any more than 2 pages and the music will be too small to read.

My apologies but I think there’s been a misunderstanding!!!:!: ; I know these so called capabilities of finale!!
But I meant the ability to scroll a score from top to bottom during playback!!
Does anybody know how to do this in finale? Unless perhaps you don’t think this capability of Sibelius as a kind of advantage!!
