[Finale] rest question

2006-09-29 Thread VivianAR
Using Finale 2006, when there are multiple rests (4 measures of rest), a 4 appears above the measure but instead of a thick line with a thin up down line on each side of the thick line, a little slash on the middle line appears. How do I get the usual rest marking? Thanks Vivian

[Finale] differences in playback-MIDI vs. AU/VST

I've been noticing that playback is slightly different when you use MIDI as opposed to playing through the Native Instrument AU/VST. I kept all the parameters the same, using the same instruments, same reverb, same HP etc. GPO was loaded in AU for one case and in the other, I used Garritan

Ahh I see the contrails of a problem I flew many months back and never was satisfied. I could never get the sound from FIN 2006 that I received from FIN 2005. Of course, ( I now understand) FIN 2006 sets up automatically to AU/VST and FIN 2005 doesn't even posses it. The fact is AU/VST
