Re: [Finale] switching between Finale and other app causes "stuck" MIDI note(s) in speedy
>Fortunately, there is an All Notes Off command in the MIDI/Audio menu. Hmmm. That command isn't doing anything for me to alleviate the problem I'm having. The only thing that works is exiting/re-entering the speedy editing frame. And it's enough of a hassle to cause me to consider setting up a dedicated computer to run Finale.

I thought that I was in the Finale Forum (Mac) instead of the FInale Listserve. Chalk it up to the hour and lack of sleep! My apologies.

Re: [Finale] switching between Finale and other app causes "stuck" MIDI note(s) in speedy
There are all kinds of situations where you can get a note to hang in Finale, particularly in Speedy. I do it all the time, by accident, say, by hitting Return to go to the staff below while still holding the MIDI key, so the original staff never gets a Note Off message on its channel. I also get hung notes when switching programs, probably for similar reasons, though I suspect the Mac MIDI engine might have something to do with it, with the way it manages MIDI between multitasking apps. Fortunately, there is an All Notes Off command in the MIDI/Audio menu. Funny that you're asking these questions in the Mac forum. The question in this case has most likely the same answer as for Windows, but that isn't always the case.

[Finale] switching between Finale and other app causes "stuck" MIDI note(s) in speedy
If this has already been discussed, I apologize. When switching between Finale and another program, if I don't exit the speedy entry frame, I'll get a "stuck" note (or notes) when I switch back to Finale. Specifically, whatever the previously pressed note(s) on the MIDI keyboard were will be added to whatever I input next. So, for example if I enter a middle C quarter note beat 1, switch to another app and switch back to Finale (without exiting the speedy entry frame) and press a D on the MIDI keyboard, I'll get both a C and a D on the score on beat 2. It acts as if I'm still holding down whatever the previous entered note was. -- Finale 2008 Win7 ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
