Jef, I read your reply to this but I can't find it now. I'm away from home and using webmail, maybe that's the reason. I think you said you couldn't find the Match Note On/Note Off setting. This link from the 2012 manual should help you I hope: http://www.finalemusic.com/usermanuals/finale2012win/content/finale/MMECONFG.htm Of course this only applies to Finale playback. If you mean the notes are becoming stuck as you're physically playing the keyboard then this is probably a fault with the keyboard itself, nothing to do with Finale. One of the keys on my k/b (E4) has a fault - it's stopped recognising the key pressure and sounds quieter than the others. If it was an old piano I could probably repair it, but this is out of my league. Sorry I can't help further.
