Hi Darcy, I tried your/Robert's suggestion yesterday and turned MIDI Thru on set to a fixed channel of 99 and that worked for the time being.
I did report it to MakeMusic! through the Finale support website, and Ben L. in support told me that although others have reported this issue they have been unable to replicate it in-house so there's nothing they can do about it. Funny thing: when I quit and re-launched Finale, turned MIDI Thru off, and tried to make it happen with a new default document, it didn't happen. And now I'm able to work on my original file (generated in Finale 2012 with the Setup Wizard so there would be no older-version file issues) with MIDI Thru turned off without any problems. There must be some strange interaction with the system-level MIDI manager or something. I'm curious if this issue is Mac-only or if Windows users have run into it as well. -Brian On 3/24/14, 10:00 AM, "Darcy James Argue" <djar...@icloud.com> wrote: >Hi Brian, > >Please please please report to MakeMusic!
