This seems to be a fairly common problem on both platforms...I must confess to finding it most irritating...does turning off chase slove this issue universally? Why is chase problematic, especially when starting from the beginning leaves nothing to chase? I am on WinFin 09B. Jim

This is a well- documented problem in WinFin as well. The solution from MAKEMUSIC is to trash the Finale and Midi preference files. I cannot say that this is the solution for MacFin though;-) Henry Howey Professor of Music Sam Houston State University Box 2208 Huntsville, TX 77341 (936)

Hi Carl, $1000 is a fair price, $500 a super friendly one - depending on the length and complexity of the arrangement. These are low end quotes and don't include a parts production/engraving fee. Anyway, that would be my suggestion, if I understand the circumstances. Chuck On Jan 23,

I see the Play Only on Pass checkbox in the Playback tab of the Expression designer, but I don't know what to set in the Type popup. I've tried setting it to None, changing the channel to an unused one on the pass I don't want it to play, and setting the channel pressure and key velocity to zero.
