When playing a score with quite a few changes between arco and pizzicato, the pizzicato sounds 'hangs' (= doesn't change back to arco) when starting somewhere in the score. The arco-pizz changes sound correct when starting from the beginning. 

I play Finale through VST (setting in MIDI/Audio menu) and I use Garritan Instruments for Finale as 'Device' and Violin (and Viola, Cello, Double Bass) Solo KS as 'Sound' in Score Manager.

Any ideas for a solution? Thanks!

Addition to the message above: Playback doesn't have to start from measure 1. However, after a certain point in the score 'arco' doesn't seem to sound at all, only pizzicato no matter what is indicated in the part.

You don't mention what version of Finale you are on. My impression is that you use 26. This arco/pizz situation has existed in many versions of Finale over the years. The point is that the status does not "chase;" if you stop the playback, the arco/pizz status persists when you restart no matter where you restart, other than at the beginning.

Thanks for your reply Adrian.

I set the playback settings (via 'Playback/Record Options') to 'Chase from first measure', but that doesn't seem to change anything.

Also I noticed that playback does not return to 'arco' after a certain measure in the score, even when starting from the beginning. What could be the reason for this behaviour?

BTW: Finale version number is stated below my message: 26.2.

This is definitely a bug. I have a similar problem in Finale 26.3..

If I specify pizz but start playback after the pizz, the sound reverts to arco.
