[Finale] F2012: How to stop chord playback for specific instruments?

2013-05-01 Thread Craig Parmerlee
I have a big band chart where the solo sections have the chords in numerous parts that optionally could solo. I don't want these chords to play back. I only want the chords to play back on the piano staff. I can't find any way to turn this off in a mass edit or global sort of way. I

Dear Craig Parmerlee, In the score manager each instrument has a triangle to the left in Fin2011 and in Fin2012 under the name column which you click. There you find the separate layers, chords, and expression playbeci that can be turned off and on. I am looking at Fin2011 and Fin 2012. Does

Yes. Thanks !!! By turn off, I assume you mean to click on the mute button on the Chords line. That's what I did and it does exactly what I need. Looking back at the documentation, it does show this pulldown, but I never really made that connection because there isn't a specific chord

I believe that turns off chord playback for ALL instruments. I want chord playback on my piano track because most of that track is just slash notation with chord names. The ScoreManager thing works to a degree. If you mute an instrument from the mixer window and then unmute it, that unmutes

OK, this is probably a bug that has no fix, and maybe I'm the only person in the world who thinks this is important. When writing for jazz piano, I usually just put in enough notes to suggest a style and let the piano player use his own comping skills, which are almost always better than

Best workaround — turn off chord playback globally, create your own piano realization, and put it in a hidden layer. Finale's chord symbol playback is TERRIBLE — chord-to-chord voice-leading is completely ignored. The fact that it doesn't work with HP is honestly the least of it. Just write a
