I have a somewhat similar problem to the one presented by Andrew Stiller several weeks ago (which was seemingly solved by clearing Performance Data.) However. I import an existing SATB midi file into Finale. I make my editorial/compositional/musical changes to it. I turn OFF Human Playback (we're

I don't think you can make the presumption that the chords would be continuously parallel. And I don't think it really matters if you think of it as one part with 4 voices or 4 parts that are in sync with each other. I think of such a passage as 4 parts in sync with each other, but I'm not sur

I have not had any playback problems at all. How are you having it playback? With the built-in soft-synth, through your soundcard or external module? Using human playback or not? Does it crash on randomly selected files or just on one particular file? Maybe some more details will help us tro

It would also possibly matter whether you're printing to a 600dpi laser or a 1200dpi laser or something else. I find it takes different settings when I print at home on an HP4MP and in the office on an HP5000. The real answer though is to use your eye rather than to count on raw numbers, and alwa
