This is similar to the situation where your Finale document uses a special font. If your Finale document uses a special, custom Percussion MIDI Map, and you need to send your Finale document to someone else, then you should send the custom Percussion MIDI Map along with the document. In the ScoreManager, in the chiclet Instrument List, you can customise the View so that Percussion MIDI Maps are shown. You can create your own, custom Percussion MIDI Map(s), but you never ever need to do so - since the default Percussion MIDI Maps are all, you need (probably). It is not saved inside the Finale document. Somewhat similar to a font, a Percussion MIDI Map is located in a special file in a special folder.įrom there the Percussion MIDI Map is available to all your Finale documents. There are Percussion MIDI Maps, and there are Percussion Layouts.
In v25.5 the Percussion handling is different from the older Finale version you used before. You have upgraded to Finale v25.5 from an older version (that used Percussion Maps), right?
