>I have the same problem. I can't fix it, so it's not just you! >Sarah B. After Noel Stoutenburg's post, I had a look on the Makemusic Forum and I found a temporary workaround for the aforementioned problem. If you change the numbers in the Ex.Sh. box, and click OK, but then when it goes back to the line selection box, DON'T click Select, but instead either just close the box, or click "Cancel" and then do the same with the last box, and it retains the time and level information, and plays back. Bizarre but true. What I do not however have a workaround for is the fact that using the executable shape seems to crash Finale. This only happens when I use the Ex. Shp. In any case, although Forza is currently out of action, I mremembered I had Jari's tempo plug-in which is infinitely easier to use than the Ex.Shp., (available fromthe Finale tips site http://www.finaletips.nu/ ), and it worked perfectly (though I then decided I didn't want a tempo change after all. Go figure!) Thanks Noel for the Forum Suggestion, Colin. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Colin Broom Sent: Friday, December 26, 2003 6:46 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Finale] Executable shape Bug? (FinWin2004) Okay, I've finally decided to try to get my head round executable shapes for doing rallentando/accel type things, but it doesn't seem to be working right in Finale 2004. Anytime I change the the values of the time or level scales then go back to the score, when I go back into the expression playback, it has gone back to the original value (and yes, I am pressing OK, not Cancel!). Can someone try this on FinWin2004 to see if they can reproduce the problem on their system: 1. In a document, Choose the expression tool. Select a tempo marking such as "rall". 2. Click the playback tab, then Executable shape "Select". 3. In the Ex.Sh. box that appears, choose one of the descending lines and click "edit". Change any of the numbers in either time or level scale. (They should by default be at 1:1 and 13:4). Click OK, then Select, then OK to put the expression in the score. 4. Now, in the score, double-click on the new expression, and go back to the Ex.Sh. designer edit box. Have the numbers gone back to what they originally were? I've tried to reproduce the problem on Finale 2003, but it's fine and retains all the numbers. If someone else manages to reproduce this, I'm going to get in touch with Winsupport. Damn, just when I thought I had that damn inpenetratable thing figured out. Seasons greetings by the way, Hope you all have a bug-free holiday.
