Well, it's stupid on MY part, because I used to write with pencil and
paper, for goodness sake. I just have really enjoyed writing with
Finale and GPO, working fairly slowly, but writing nearly the full score
all at once, listening as I go, and when I was done writing the piece,
I'd have nearly the full score and a great-sounding demo nearly ready at
the same time.
Now I'm lucky if I can get the Finale sound-font to play. I hate to set
up the midi channels for that to write the piece, knowing that if I ever
DO get GPO working again, I'll have to change everything again.
I've got some Finale tutorials and junk to go through before I start
calling for help, but I'm not that hopeful. To me, it looks like I've
gotten the NI2 screen up at some point, just like the little help files
tell me, but that all my Garritan products aren't showing where they
should be. So I haven't tried any more. (I get these little bouts of
computer-related depression that keep me from trying to work entirely
too easily).

Hi Raymond--
Im so sorry to hear this--
when technology becomes counter-productive, its time to find a new way..
and Im sure we ALL have experienced holding the momentary flame of
inspiration, only to have it lost, or become cool, by having to fight
a bad program..
I wouldn't let Finale stop that piece of yours from being finished,
and performed..
I really hope you find a way to get it done, Raymond..
Thanks
Peace, Bob Morabito
PS--hopefully someone on the list can help you get the old setup
back...anyone?

OK:
I'm totally disheartened on Finale, After being oh, so productive
for the last few years on WinFinale (several versions through 2006)
with full GPO and GJBB (using GP Studio which I gather I wasn't
supposed to be using anymore), I "upgraded" to Finale 2008 and NI2,
and now nothing plays back at all. It even screwed up my old
2006/GPO setup so it won't work.
I could have finished a solo piece and played it next month with a
local group, but I'd gotten so spoiled with the great setup I had,
it's just no fun not hearing it as I go, and I haven't worked kept
working on it.
