Hi there,

I'm a bit frustrated, because I paid a fair amount for the Garritan Marching Band sounds and still have no drum set working. If I pick the VDL General midi set, it has the correct sounds, but it plays only every other note. I hoped the new Finale would fix this, but the problem remains. 

Do you know a solution for this issue?

Thank you,

Ralph

I have noticed that the issue seems to be triggered at certain moments, for example snare rolls, but not all of them. If it plays correctly until then, afterwards it plays only exactly every other note, and the other way around. I have noticed no other principle yet...

Nobody who can reproduce the issue or has already had it?

I'm working on MacOS Sierra with newest Finale 25 and Garritan Marching Band 2. I have the same problem on another computer with the same software, so it must be really a bug which can easily be reproduced.

I've made a video recording of the score playback to make it clearer:

As you can see, the snare roll in the first ending triggers something so that the repetition works properly. The snare roll in bar 14, however, changes nothing, so it can't be the only reason. But then again, in the next section, there are again the drum rolls which "switch" between working properly and playing only every other note.
It seems to be somewhat random.
I should add that yesterday it worked for a while for the whole piece. I've made no significant changes, suddenly the issue came back again.
