This has probably been covered extensively before, but I've never
been concerned with playback. I'm using MacFin2008b and would like
to have Garriton Sounds playback (to play for a producer). When in
the playback window I hit the playback button, it loads up to 39%
then the ball just keeps spinning permanently. I can't stop it and
the only result is that I must Force Quit Finale.
I have reinstalled Finale and downloaded and installed the latest
2008b update. No difference.
Is there a solution here?
In the meantime, I've gone over to Sibelius, where I'm not getting
the Garriton sounds.
Hopefully,

I have found it is usually a tempo marking, or some expression that
contains playback instructions for tempo (like a rit, or some
expression that inherited playback from another expression that I
duplicated and edited.)
Try this. Calculate where about 39% of the way through your piece is.
Look there for expressions with playback enabled. Try deleting the
expression, then undo if that isn't it.
What I ended up doing once is working on a copy of the file, deleting
half the expressions, then test. If it crashes, then next time delete
only half of THOSE. If not, then try deleting the other half. I
eventually pared it down to a tempo marking, which I edited not to
have playback in my original file. That worked.
Send this to tech support, as they should know about it. It is a
very common bug.
