Yo folks,

I have had multiple crashes when opening a document and starting playback.
Finale pops up "Pre-processing file for human playback. (press Esc to skip)
Retrieving score items" and get stuck on 33% or 35 % then Window deems
Finale to have stopped working. Waiting does not help, neither does pressing
Esc.

Does not occur for all files so I guess that the file I am working on right
now has gone corrupt. But what to do?


Start a brand new file with the same instrumentation defined, then copy from the corrupt document and paste into the new document. This sometimes works to save the data.

Another thing you could try, although I can't recall if I ever heard it saving a file in your situation, is to run the Data Check and let Finale try to find and fix the problems.

You could also experiment with turning off Human Playback and seeing if the raw data plays fine without the HP turned on. If that's the case, then there may be some expression defined for playback which is causing the problem. Perhaps one which you "created" by duplicating an existing one which had playback defined and then editing the text and forgetting about the playback aspect and it might be in conflict with some other nearby command.
