Finale 2014 mis à jour en version a (en anglais)
Posté : 8 janvier 2014 à 23:31
La première mise à jour de la version anglaise de Finale 2014 ( 2014 a ) est sortie. Elle règle une longue liste de problèmes. Voir ci-dessous la liste concernant le Mac.
Pour le PC, un "Read Me" est disponible également en pdf ICI.
Apparemment, il s'agit d'un fichier de type "patch", cad un fichier correctif à appliquer sur la version 2014, installée au préalable.
Rappel : ne pas appliquer les mises à jour anglaises sur Finale 2014 en français, cela crée des problèmes !!! (Lire ICI).
The first maintenance update for Finale 2014 has been released. If you have "Check for Updates" turned on, you'll see the notice the next time you launch Finale. To trigger the update manually, go to Finale 2014 > Check for Updates.
This update is being delivered through an in-app utility which will streamline the entire update process (no more logging in at finalemusic.com to download the update). Highlights in this update:
Audio Engine updates: This should resolve the "Audio Engine failed to load" issues, as well as problems with some bluetooth audio devices, scanning VST folders and crashing when changing output devices.
Text tool: Text blocks on resized pages no longer disappear if they've been resized.
Keyboard commands: ESC key now exits an active text block or active lyric.
Extract parts: Extracting parts no longer prompts for a name for each file
For a full list of fixes, see the attached Readme file.
