"Enable Chord Playback" is checked in the chord menu.
And I've not changed any playback information other
than the instrument name, nor have I done anything to
the chord symbols.
I'm using Bill Duncan's chord font. FinMac04. OS
10.2.8. I have a very elementary MIDI set-up.
Any ideas of what I should look at? Silly question:
Why would this stop working all of the sudden!!!
Either you have inadvertently hit something, or the file is corrupted. This happens from time to time. I assume that the chords you are talking about have already played back correctly at least once, otherwise I would suspect that some suffixes are not defined for playback.
Is the staff in the INstrument List window DARK green under Playback? LIght green means playback is disabled on some item in the staff. Hit the triangle beside the staff name to check this.
Is the MIDI instrument that the staff is set to actually set to receive on that channel? Turned on, volume up and all cables in place? Have you recently entered a p at the start of the staff, or some other expression that affects playback? This would make the playback very soft, perhaps too soft to hear properly. The same thing would happen if you took a soft dynamic, duplicated it, and changed the text to something else, like Fast Swing, without editing the playback value which would still be set to piano.
Try quitting Finale, then reopening the file.
After this step, I would go to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or you could send me the file privately and I could check it for you.
