Ryan, I'm using Fin2005 and the percussion map issue is the same as 2001. Entering notes while Percussion notation style is applied simply doesn't work, I've spent many exasperating hours trying to figure it out. Maybe there is a better method I haven't discovered, but entering notes in Standard style definitely does.
Later versions may have simplified percussion entry a lot, but there are so many other bugs and issues to contend with. I upgraded in 2007 and 2009 and found myself wasting time trying to figure out and learn workarounds all over again, so I've gone back to using 2005 (without embedded parts, which aren't helpful for me), because of, well, its simplicity and reliability. :) Peter ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ryan" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, June 01, 2014 6:02 PM Subject: Re: [Finale] Percussion playback > The percussion clef uses the same staff positions as the treble clef.
