Re: [Finale] Finale Digest, Vol 128, Issue 20
Hi Darcy, I tried your/Robert's suggestion yesterday and turned MIDI Thru on set to a fixed channel of 99 and that worked for the time being. I did report it to MakeMusic! through the Finale support website, and Ben L. in support told me that although others have reported this issue they have been unable to replicate it in-house so there's nothing they can do about it. Funny thing: when I quit and re-launched Finale, turned MIDI Thru off, and tried to make it happen with a new default document, it didn't happen. And now I'm able to work on my original file (generated in Finale 2012 with the Setup Wizard so there would be no older-version file issues) with MIDI Thru turned off without any problems. There must be some strange interaction with the system-level MIDI manager or something. I'm curious if this issue is Mac-only or if Windows users have run into it as well. -Brian On 3/24/14, 10:00 AM, Darcy James Argue djar...@icloud.com wrote: Hi Brian, Please please please report to MakeMusic!

The workaround for muting playback with MIDI Thru on is to set it to Fixed and choose an unused channel (e.g., 99).

I really don't want to turn MIDI Thru on because I work in transposed scores, and the notes that sound when I enter them using a MIDI keyboard in Speedy sound in concert pitch, which is very confusing to my ear.

Re: [Finale] upgrade info
Eric - After installation of Mavericks on my 2010 2.53 Ghz 4G RAM MacBook Pro, the OS substantially slowed down. Ideas? I'll email off the list. You seem to know about all this, so thought I'd ask.

Re: [Finale] upgrade info
I really wouldn't know without actually playing with it, but you might consider cloning the system disk off to another hard drive and then cloning it back. File fragmentation might be an issue, even though the OS is supposed to be smart about that.
