I am composing a piece using VI sounds in Finale. After playing a Staccato effect for 4 measures, I then switch to a Legato effect
for 3. The problem is, even though the effect change is triggered properly, the legato WON'T sustain for those 3 measures, even
with the whole notes written and tied for each measure.
I've tried composing the sustained note differently (4 tied quarters, 2 tied half notes), but to no avail. I should point out that I'm using actual notation, NOT sequencing to compose, and that the staves for the notation of the Effects
control and effect trigger notes for the sound have DEFINITELY been composed with the exact values and duration as the melody line.
I should also point out that I've done the latest Player and VI license upgrades for the sounds loaded on my PC (Finale is on the networked Imac computer). When my composing partner does the same thing SEQUENTIALLY with our pieces that he tweaks in Logic, there's NO problem. I just don't get it, can someone help me here? thanks!
