[Finale] Speedy Entry in Finale Mac 2012 with MIDI Thru turned off

2014-03-23 Thread Brian Williams
I'm having some major problems with Finale Mac 2012 using Speedy Entry with
MIDI Thru turned off.
It seems that unless MIDI Thru is turned on, the program randomly crashes,
and I usually have to click twice on a measure to bring up the Speedy Entry
frame. This sometimes ends up deleting whatever entries were previously in
the frame.
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.
Is there a setting somewhere that will enable me to work in Speedy in Finale
2012 with MIDI Thru turned off without the program exhibiting this unstable
behavior?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

It doesn't matter which MIDI channel you select for Midi thru, so select
one you aren't using for Midi input and you'll be fine.

Perhaps set to a channel with no sound loaded -- i.e. midi channel 64?

Hi Brian,

Please please please report to MakeMusic! I'm so glad someone else can confirm 
this problem! (I thought I was the only one experiencing this usse.)

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

Cheers,

- DJA

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
