I've been work in Fin Mac 2008 for a few days and I've run into some
problems.
1. When using the full version of GPO I can't get pizz. and arco to
trigger correctly in a double bass part after entering those
expressions in my score. I've tried putting notes F-2 and C-2 in
layer 4 and that doesn't seem to work consistently either. I've also
tried doing the "dump" setting in the playback options as described
in the manual for the pizz. and arco expressions, and that doesn't
work either.
2. Since I couldn't get the previously mentioned triggering to work
in full GPO, I reverted to Fin GPO, in which case I can't seem to get
percussion to play back loud enough, especially the snare drum in the
Orchestral Percussion sample. I can't hear it at all unless I solo
it. I've tried adjusting the volume levels everywhere I could find
them--in Studio View and in the Kontakt Player, but to no avail.
I've also tried marking the snare FF, which I wouldn't really want
in my score. I just can't get it loud enough to hear.
3. After copying and pasting music I get some strange volume levels--
certain instruments suddenly loud, the 2nd violins drowning out the
first, etc. I don't know if the copying and pasting is creating the
problem, or if volume level is just erratic in general.
4. I tried Score Merger today on a collection of alto sax duets that
I wrote last year. Everything went fine, except that I want the part
names to show up on the first line of each duet, and I can't find any
other way of doing that short of entering the names in new text
boxes. It seems that this would be standard practice, so I should
have the option to do this. I mean, the part names are already
there, they're just hidden.
5. I'm also getting crashing during playback, when using AU for
playback. I just got a crash while trying to record beats from an
imported audio file. This is on a dual 2 GB G5 with 4.5 GB RAM. I
don't think I'm overloading my computer--this last crash occurred
while playing two instruments in player Kontakt 2 along with an audio
file about 3 and a half minutes in length.
I'm not exactly new to Finale--I've been using it since version 2000,
so I don't think my problems are due to "pilot error." But I don't
know if these are just bugs, or if I can do something to fix these
problems. Any input from the list would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Lon
