Hi folks,
Sorry if I bring an old subject up - I don't always follow the list to all
details.
An upgrade of Windows to Win10 is proposed at my end. I am not extremely
eager to be honest.
But what about Finale? I run 12c and I do not plan to upgrade in near time.
Any issues with this combination
I run this combination and I can't see any major issues. I have an unsolved
problem with "Missing VST Instrument Plug-in: Instruments for Finale" error

this is not due to the specific combination; I think I had this with Wi
Hi again,

styles to score" or something similar. I. e. when a staff style was set in
the score but for some reason had not get through to the part, then this
option could be used to retrieve the

Hi folks,
This might be a MM support issue, but I try here first as usual.
I have a score in which there is a 1st/2nd ending. In the score; I can edit
all three brackets (two in the first ending and one in the second).
But in the parts, I have only edit handles for the left bracket in the
first
ible.
Seems to work fairly well.

Interesting discussions about Finale's future; this is obviously topics

All,
I have been explicitely asked by my drummer to try to keep the drum part
down to two pages, which is understandable and should be possible for
parts where there might be long periods of slash notation without any cues

guess this means that you can't see in the score what the part is going to
