[Finale] Bizarre playback

[Finale 2009] I am encountering a range of unexpected results from playback. I have tried VST instruments (with and without human playback) and normal MIDI, but all suffer from the same problems. 1) If I play from the beginning I hear all the parts, but if I start playback elsewhere, some

3) A tempo change (crotchet = 60 becomes crotchet = 90) only lasts about 1/2 bar before reverting to the previous tempo. When this happens to me, I use Jari Williamsson's JW Tempo plugin to force it to manually override the unpredictable vagaries. Matthew

One thing you could try if you haven't already: Click on the speaker icon button on the Playback Controls toolbar, then on the Playback/Record Options button near the bottom of the panel. Check that you have Selected Chase from First Measure in the Dynamics and markings box. Hope it helps

Hello Jef, Selecting the Adobe PDF printer to print a PDF no longer works in 10.6. If you are on 10.6 using Adobe Acrobat Distiller, FinaleScript will not help you. If you have QuicKeys write a sequence to bring up the print dbx, select Save As Postscript under the PDF pull-down menu, and send

Michael, About your playback problem, if you have Human Playback activated, you might try a different playback type (or none). I found out last July that at least one of the Human Playback modes (Jazz) has a feature which degrades playback. ns ___

It's a longstanding bug that most expressions chase from measure one, but keyswitches don't (say, arco to pizz, mutes, and for all I know maybe softer versions of some instruments.) Balance is a tricky issue, because one can't expect a p trumpet to be balanced with a p flute in its bottom
