Subject:      Finale & patch change messages

I hate to interrupt lively philosophical debate with a boring software
question, but I will anyway.

I find that when I'm using Finale, I often (but not always) get patch
changes sent to my master keyboard, and whatever I do manually won't
override the message.  I'm using a Kawai K4. I don't really mind;
I'm using it more for notation than for playback, but it's getting
kind of annoying.   Any ideas?

If you choose Special|Options from the menu, and uncheck "Send Patches
Before Play" this may solve your problem.

Thanks for the suggestion, but "send patches before play" was already
unselected. This isn't something that happens only during playback.
As soon as the program is opened, I lose manual control of the patches on my
synth.  (i.e., if I try, by hand, to choose a bank and patch number in single
mode, it puts me in a different bank and patch number in multi mode.)

It seems as though it may be a particular compatability problem with the
Kawai K4.  It doesn't happen with other MIDI software, and it doesn't affect
other synths and modules in the midi network.  (Although I haven't tried
hooking up another keyboard as the master keyboard.)

Does this sound familiar to anyone? (It IS a puzzlement...)

Hi - If any readers of this list have already upgraded to Finale 3.0 and are
interested in selling me their used copy of 2.0 and the docs - please drop me a
line :).  No way can I afford $599.00 for a piece of software...

Thanks!

Hope this is legal :).

Hate to say it, but that would certainly be illegal, if the person still has
Finale 3.0. Moreover, teh damn shrink wrap license probably claims that even
the newly updated version does not belong to the buyer and the buyer should
count himself damn lucky to even own the disks it came on.

I agree that $599 is fairly ludicrous for a piece of software only to be
told you don't own it anyway and you'll pay for the damn upgrades to the
software you lisence, too...

You should be able to purchase Finale for a lot less than $599.
Look for a dealer and ask about the the educational discount.

Is there a new version of Finale out there for IBM?  I have 2.0.1 or
something like that.  And, if there is a new version, is there an upgrade
option?

The new Finale for Windows 3.0 will not be ready until probably June. I
spoke with reps from Coda at a recent state music convention here in Texas
and was told they are incorporating features in the new Windows version
that will leapfrong the Mac 3.0. They didn't give me any information
regarding on an upgrade option.

Subject:      Finale 3.0.1a

When transcribing real-time performances I have no problem in
tapping in the time either on a key or pedal.  However, despite
following all the directions in the manuals, I have failed to get
the metronome to click as a beat reference.  On screen, the dots appear
correctly in the left buffer box but there is no metronome click.
Can anyone help?

Thanks,
