That's an important difference that Don points out: the "Tempo Marks"
category defaults to "Beginning of Measure," (or "Start of Time Signature,"
I forget which) while the "Tempo Alterations" category defaults to

Of course, either can be redefined as a category or in
Some suggestions:
1) Just as the esteemed composer David Froom suggested earlier, don't use
the Finale-defined rits, etc. Make your own tempo marks - they can show,
they can be hidden, they can be a "rit." with a tempo attached.
2) To make your own tempo mark, select expressions ("mf"), select
Hi Phil,
I've used hidden tempo marks for years (with and w/out HP) and have been
quite successful getting tempos how I like/envision them.
For positioning, put those expressions in the "Tempo Alterations" category.
The default positioning in that category is "Horizontal Click Positioning"

I would tend to agree, except I need the final
result output to CD so it can be played through
the church's sound system. Finale is the only
program I have which will do that - even if I do
have to go through a .wav first!

In my somewhat less than humble opinion, you're driving yourself nuts trying to
do this in Finale, when a MIDI sequencing program, such as DP or Logic, is much
more suitable.

Hi,
This is a great idea. The problem is that these
tempo marks attach themselves to the beginning of
the measure. The manual says you can attach
expressions to notes, but it doesn't work with
these. I tried dragging them around, but the
attachment snaps to the next measure, not the

I tried that, but it did even less than
before. I just tried editing the shape of the
rall expression, but even changing the numbers to
ridiculous values, I can't detect any change to
the tempo. I put both the time and scale numbers
to around 25, which according to the manual,

Try the modulation I described. And check the GPO patch to make sure it is
loaded OK. Also, don't forget you can adjust balance in the "Studio" view.

No, they are not repeating notes. Besides, it is
a 2-measure phrase which repeats several times
among different voices, and all the others play

pretty high, and marked forte right at that entry.

Are the notes that are not playing repeated notes of the same pitch?
I often have to shorten notes so the repeated ones will play. I will
routinely use the midi tool to highlight the entire score, then under midi
tool menu select "edit note durations," then "percent alter" to a number
like 96 or
I have gotten some great sounding demo recordings using Finale and GPO.
Takes a little work, but you just have to figure out the best ways to use

As I said in another post, most of the tempo

that to be too problematic. So I end up doing all of the work twice,
