[Finale 2009] A couple of weeks ago I asked about a
problem with Finale failing while human playback is on.
I got no response to that, but I am now encountering
several problems with playback, including one I used to
have with an older version of Finale. Following is a
list of the various problems.
1) With human playback switched on, Finale will only
work playing back from the beginning of the file. Set
the playback to left-most measure or a specified bar
number causes Finale to collapse in a heap.
2) The above problem is now also happening when human
playback is switched off.
3) A problem I encountered with an earlier version of
Finale (and never really fixed): playback is
intermittent, some bars play, some do not; some parts in
some bars play, others do not; some parts in some bars
play some of the time (i.e. notes are truncated). This
consistently happens in the same place. I copied the
offending section to a new file - the playback error
still occurs. When this happened in v2002 once the
playback stopped, it did not come back in again. In
v2009 the playback comes and goes.
My only guess is that I may not have enough RAM (2GB).
Can anyone confirm this or suggest other causes?
I think that you might need to provide some more clues, such
as which playback method are you using (i.e. soundcard
synth, external midi module, SmartMusic soundfont, GPO or
other VSt playback), what sort of score you're working on
and how complex the music is, how many different staves are
set to the same midi channel or soft-synth patch. Do you
get the same errors no matter which playback method you use?
Are you on a Windows PC or a Mac?
Along with the potential for a problem due to ram (although
on a PC with 2GB you should be alright, depending on what
other apps are running in the background), the specs of the
processor you're using and the OS you're using can have an
effect as well.
