Re: [Finale] Finale using the wrong instruments when in Staff View
Quick update here. I submitted to Finale and they accepted it as a product defect to be fixed. It only comes into play when using Smartsynth. If you use Aria, the problem does not occur.

Re: [Finale] Finale using the wrong instruments when in Staff View
More testing on this problem: I created a score from scratch in F2014 with 30 instruments (in 2 banks), all Smartsynth as assigned by the wizard. I could not get this problem to occur on that score. I went back to my live score and saved it in XML format. I closed Finale, then restarted it and imported the XML. This forced all the instruments to be assigned to new MIDI channels starting from bank 1, channel 1. I figured that would clear up the problem as there wouldn't be residue remaining from my MUSX file. But this still has exactly the same problem. It isn't a show-stopper, but is definitely annoying. And here's another curiosity. If I take the misbehaving score and reassign the MIDI instrument and/or channel, that staff no longer plays back at all.

Can you email a copy of the file down to franklin so I can look at it? Jim Sent from my iPhone, so please pardon all the typos.
