Finale 2012a.r3, Mac OS 10.6.8, MacBook Pro In Finale 2012, when I select "Export to Audio File", I get this message - "An error occurred while saving the audio file (Error -2)" if Finale is set to "Play Finale Through MIDI". If I set to "Play Finale Through Audio Units", I can save as an AIFF file but not as an mp3. I know I can take the extra step to convert the AIFF to mp3 via iTunes.
On one file, I got the message: "An error occurred while attempting to Save as Audio File. Please resave your Finale document with a shorter file name and try again." with Finale set to "Play Finale Through MIDI". When I shortened the file name, I then got the "error -2 message". A few files started in 2011 seemed to be ok. For the first time, I also noticed that some of the files did not retain their instrument assignments when originally created in an earlier version. Finale said something about it had "no imported instruments". I can't seem to recreate this at the moment. I may be carrying over issues from much earlier versions. I have so many tweaks in my default files and templates that I hesitate to start with a brand new file. It would take a bit to get it as I like it. By the way, I finally found out why my Mac wouldn't go into sleep mode and other issues. It was not the 3rd party monitor but my audio/MIDI interface is no longer compatible with the Mac OS. I still have my old MOTU MidiTimePiece AV but have been using a Tascam US-122 with my laptop. Tascam never made new drivers capable of supporting the new OS. I've been advised by fellow composers to hold off on upgrading to Lion.
