Re: [Finale] MIDI
I've experienced the 1/2 step discrepancy recently, but haven't nailed down the circumstances or the cure. I thought it was just me or my setup. I haven't been using Finale much lately, spending most of my music time practicing instead of transcribing or arranging. I'll pay better attention when this occurs, and will try Larry's fix then report. -Original Message- From: Finale [mailto:finale-boun...@shsu.edu] On Behalf Of Lawrence David Eden Sent: Thursday, June 21, 2018 7:17 AM To: FinaleList Subject: [Finale] MIDI I have a question about MIDI with FinaleMac 25/OS 10.13.5. I am working on a transposed score that includes trumpets in Bb and horn in F. When I display the score in concert pitch the notes I enter return a single note sound, but if I display my score in transposed pitch (score showing different key signatures) Finale and my MIDI plays 2 notes at a time that are a minor second apart. Most annoying! I prefer to have Finale handle the transposition, so want to use Speedy to enter the notes in transposed pitch….one pitch only. ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu https://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale To unsubscribe from finale send a message to: finale-unsubscr...@shsu.edu
Re: [Finale] Finale playback problem
David and Dean, Thanks for your suggestions. Nothing worked. Finally, I copied the music from the affected staves, deleted them, reinstalled them, and pasted the music back. Success! Go figure. Every once in a while the dot on my numerical pad stops working (creating dotted notes). The period key in the regular keyboard works as a standin. The next time I start the program everything is back to normal. Or not. Just some of Finale's inscrutable mysteries.

My previous version of Finale was Finale 2K11 and it did not behave this way. Thanks for any advice that my colleagues on the List are able to provide. That is truly mystifying! If anything, the notes should be either a whole step apart (Bb trumpets) or a fifth apart (horn in F). But to have all your sounds be a half-step apart makes no sense at all. Where are the sounds coming from? your computer or from your midi device? If from your midi device, pull out the manual and see if there is a setting for "local off." That would mean that keypresses on the device would not generate their own sound in addition to whatever midi-out data Finale is sending to it. Under the MIDI/Audio menu in Finale is a listing for Device Setup -- if you click on that a submenu opens up which has a "Midi Thru" option which has a checkmark next to it when it's enabled. What happens if you uncheck that? Good luck in finding the problem -- please let us know how you resolve the issue. -- * David H.

[Finale] Fwd: MIDI
I think I found the cure for the problem described below. Turn off MIDI thru. Now I have a new problem: Finale25 crashes after several minutes with MIDI thru off.
