I can’t make a section of my piece swing. I tried everything in the manual, none of it works. Checked the Finale forums and apparently this is a known issue. So I guess I’ll have to change the Human Playback style to “Jazz” for the entire piece of music, and switch it back to “Standard” when I’m working on the straight sections. Not sure how I’ll get a recording that way. Is this what happens when your business model involves releasing a new version of your software every year without backwards compatibility?
EDIT: Composer J.R. Trimpe sent me an e-mail with a possible solution. He says that he was able to work around the problem by creating a blank misc expression that sets the swing value and assigning it to every staff. He then uses a normal expression to take care of the text. I have not tried this yet (the arrangement I was working on is finished), but hopefully it will work for anyone else with this problem!
