I've been working on jazz band scores for quite a while and have not yet figured out a solution t his problem. It's in playback...no problem wiht the standard commands. I can playback using the playback controls. I can playback from a particular measure using spacebar and the mouse (with a note selected) I can playback individual tracks u sing the shift/spacebar and the mouse. I can playback individual notes using the alt key and the mouse (I'm using a windows keyboard on the iMac...I know it's strange, but it works and the apple keyboard died)...to continue...I can playback all the notes in a chord using alt/spacebar and the mouse. Here's the issue...
Jazzband staves are laid out...four saxes, four trumpets, etc...there are times when all I can to listen to are the notes in the sax section or just the trumpets...and that I cannot do...
I've tried muting the rest of the staves...plays them all
I tried taking the vol down to zero...plays them all
any help would be appreciated...I'm hoping theres something in preferences or documents, that I haven't found yet, that will fix this...
thanks...rb |

the advice on the mixer is certainly true…by the mixer seems to be bypassed when you use the keys alt/spacebar and the mouse to select a particular measure…finale then plays back all notes in that measure…
what I would like to do, it use the alt/spacebar to play back selected staves…say I only want to hear the baritone sax and the 1st alto sax…or for that matter, if I only want to hear the sax section….is there a way to do that other than the mixer, which will not do that…if using the alt/spacebar business…
thanks,

I'll be interested to know if you find a solution.

To use Solo and Mute buttons, "regular" playback seems to be the only way.
In the Score Manager, you can temporarily select "none" as an instrument for a specific staff. Not very convenient, but it mutes the staff.

While you view this custom linked part, scrub playback will only play the staves in the (custom) linked part.

| Posted By : jlrathbone - 11/25/2016 8:03 AM | I agree - it's annoying that it plays everything in alt+spacebar mode. To get round this, I work in Scroll View and make a staff set (ctrl+alt+number) of what I want to check - then select that staff set to 'scrub' just those parts.
