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?
