 I am running Windows 10 Home with Finale version 25.5.0.290.

I have a section of a big band arrangement with the typical 6 bars, a 2 bar first ending, a repeat back, same 6 bars and a second ending. I want my saxes and trumpets to play the backgrounds "2X Only" and have created that text expression. I have gone into setting of the expression and found playback tab; however, The "Type" has "NONE" in it. Not sure what place into this box, from drop-down menu?

I have Play Only on Pass 2 checked.

Finale still wants to play my backgrounds on both 1X and 2X! What am I doing incorrectly. I use VST playback, also.

Thanks so much, as always.

To make that playback as intended you need two expressions.

 

One expression for Pass 1 only. This expression changes the VST instrument to an unused channel.

 

Another expression for Pass 2 only. This expression changes the VST instrument back (so that it plays again).
