Andi,
in Finale 26, Syzd Special Edition > Violin 1 PLUS won't recognize the staccato symbol (.) and will switch to Détaché instead.
The only workaround I found has been duplicating the Staccato Technique in HP Preferences, add a Custom Text "stacc." and create a text espression "stacc." into the Finale score. After assigning "stacc." to any measure, Finale will correctly send the keyswitch notes 24-36 to Synchron Player.
Am I missing something?
Thank you,
Roberto
Hello Roberto!
I can't reproduce your problem. Staccato marks make all violins switch to the staccato or spiccato articulations with the SYNCHRON-ized Special Edition Violin PLUS presets and the "VSL - SYzd Special Edition" Human Playback Preferences for Finale loaded here - even with the file that you have uploaded.
Best regards,
Andi

PS - Do you mean the Staccato-full stop mark or the text "stacc."?
Hi Andi.
I made a short video from my Mac screen. As you can see, here Finale does not distinguish the staccato and spiccato symbols and will assign the spiccato articulation to both.
The last bar, without any articulation symbol, will be played as detaché.
Is this ok?
Thank you!

Hello Roberto!
I ment the staccato marks (dots).
The articulations in your video are triggered as expected. Finale distinguishes between different note values.
Eight notes and shorter: detache
Quarter note and longer: sustain
Eight note and shorter with staccato mark: Spiccato
Quarter note and longer with staccato mark: Staccato
Best,
Andi
Yes, it's a playback rule by Finale that shorter note values trigger different articulations in some cases. This rule is not set up in the Human Playback Preferences. I don't know, if this is documented somewhere.
Just out of curiosity, how did you find out?
