Following the advice given by several folks on the list, I tried changing the volume of one orchestral staff by assigning it a fixed value rather than applying a percentage. Still no go. The loudness is unaffected, though Finale does at least seem to recognize that something was done.
What now? Exact sequence of events: opened file, scroll view. Selected MIDI tool. Clicked to L of clar. staff to select it; the staff highlights in response. Chose Midi Tool/Continuous Data, then Midi Tool/Set Value. Entered smallish number in dialogue box. Pressed Return to exit dialog. Spacebar-clicked score to begin playback. No change in clarinet volume observed. _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
