Attempting to use Finale 25.5 in Windows 10, with varyingly elegant results. I try to find answers elsewhere before I trouble the helpful people here. Unfortunately, the pickings are slim in the Finale User Manual, and the site search engine is almost worse than useless. MakeMusic does not seem to be interested in responding to suggestions for improving the software or the User Manual. C'est la guerre. I'm sure that they will be more pleased with the next upgrade than I will be. C'est la vie.

That seems to have been the problem. I've made a second score for playback, using a pick-up measure sized to the duration of the grace notes (dotted 16th, for three 32nd-notes). As that score will ...
Well, I'll be. I'd have included an image in my first comment if the forum had told me that I could do so by dragging it into the comment box..On the other hand, I sort of remember how to code the ...
I think you're right about having to download it. JW Polyphony seems to be the plug-in; I found it mentioned in a forum post that was tangential to my search related to this problem. However, this ...
Thanks again. The volume settings are in the mixer that opens from the Window menu in Finale. The very mixer that needs a scroll handle instead of left and right arrows for navigation.
Well, now I have my woodblocks and temple blocks. Using the mixer, I have set the woodblocks to maximum volume (127, whatever that means). They are inaudible. I have the temple blocks set to minimu...
