Thanks, David (B), for reminding me to send this to support. I'm getting the impression this is not happening to very many people, and may be specific to my situation & David van Ooijen's. I am quoting what I wrote to winsupport just now, which gives a little more detail. Please let me know if anyone out there has any insight into this.
I have not been having any trouble with the playback side of the MIDI interface. But I am in the dark about how to do anything with setting up how the MIDI works with Finale on this XP machine. Any help would be appreciated. ------ here's what I wrote to Winsupport ====> I have been having problems with speedy entry since I upgraded to Finale 2003 (for Windows) a few months ago. Just before that, I had also purchased a new computer with Windows XP - so it's possible there are some issues there. The problem is that when I am entering music in speedy entry, I am constantly getting extra notes appearing on the screen. In doing this in treble clef, I have been consistently been getting extra notes which are lower than what I am entering - sometimes a little lower, and other times with about 18 ledger lines below the staff. The entry I am doing is with a MIDI device (A Yamaha PSR-220 keyboard). I have "Use MIDI keyboard for input" turned on. I have been primarily doing this with the caps lock on and number choice made to specify rhythmic value of the note. However, if I leave the caps lock off and enter music by holding keys on the MIDI keyboard and then pressing the rhythm value on the computer keyboard, I have similar problems. I have the MIDI setup MIDI in device set to SB PCI External MIDI - the only choice which is made available in the drop down box. It seems to me when I had my old Windows 98 computer, I had the option of MP 401 and was using it. Please let me know what I can do about this. ================ James M.
