Finale 25, Windows 10
I wrote a few days ago with a playback/tempo related problem. I've encountered a different problem in another score. None of the tempo changes (rit, molto rit, accel. etc.) are played back by the MIDI. I've gone through every tempo changed and manually checked what "shape" it is set to play. I've deleted the MIDI date using the "clear selected items" function. I've reassigned HP sounds. What is going on?
Many thanks,
George
In Human Playback do you have "interpret tempo changes" checked?
FWIW, I don't ever use shapes to control tempo changes. I have an initial metronome marking, then if I have a ritard in ms.8 for instance, I put an expression "rit." in ms. 8. (from the tempo alteration category - with no playback effect assigned). Then in ms. 9 I put in a new metronome marking. Finale then ritards in ms. 8 and starts the new tempo in ms. 9.
If you try this using the default file as a test, you'll see it works quite easily.
Six years on, encountered this once again. Rits and accels not playing back. Why would something like this not happen automatically? Which is the more normal situation, that one would NOT want these markings to be played back, or that would WANT them to be played back? Clearly it is the latter. This should just automatically happen.
Why would something like this not happen automatically?
I would submit it does. It has never happened to me which is neither here nor there but it does point to something on your end.
I am sorry I have no suggestion except to make sure you have entered the rit or accel or whatever correctly and assigned it correctly. Did you fix it 6 years ago? I would be happy to look at your file if you want me to. Perhaps I can see something.
