RE: [Finale] Pizzicato volume problem
Thank you for your suggestion. I could not find anything unusual with the expressions, but am able to manually adjust the velocity for each instance. As all pizzicati are in Layer 2, would it be possible to globally set the volume/velocity for that one layer only? TIA.

Re: [Finale] Help--Can't Change Tempo
Yes, what he said, and also look for any expressions you might have used or edited that might have playback attached. This used to bite me all the time until I got wise.

Something is in the score which is making finale interpret the desired tempo as 8th=80, so it's either human playback interpreting the tempo expression or the program itself interpreting an expression. -- David H.

Re: [Finale] creating a Nonstandard Linear Key Signature
The Nonstandard Key Signature dialog box is broken, as of (I believe) Finale 2006. I've encountered the problem you describe when importing older files with nonstandard key sigs -- which *did* display correctly in older versions of Finale. I have not found a solution.
