I'm writing a piece for live players and a fixed audio file containing a spoken text. To compose the live musician parts (there are six players), I've plopped 3 and 4 minute segments of the audio file into Finale. As I play it, the file 'slips'. That is, if I start to play from the beginning, the words in the audio file are in the same measures, but if I start to play in a later measure, the words end up in earlier measures. Initially I had grabbed whatever words fit into a particular measure and popped that into a text block attached to the measure. Then I realized that I wanted to write close counterpoint between the audio and the players, and so decided to notate the spoken word part rhythmically, for the musicians to follow, and so that I can better write counterpoint. Now that I'm doing that, the text block that had been in m16 is now playing in m. 15. The slippage is substantial: 60 seconds in, I'm already 4 seconds off. Can't very well write counter point to that!
Does anyone have a way around this slippage? Sheree Clement macbook pro V. 10.12.6 Finale 25.4.1.163.
