Finale sends MIDI Sync (Song Pointer data) when you’re using the Playback Controls. Send MIDI Sync must be selected in the MIDI Setup dialog box.

Follow these instructions if you want Finale to be the “master” device and an external sequencer to be the “slave” (in other words, Finale is providing the synchronization signal).

To transmit MIDI Sync data while playing back a Finale document

1. Choose MIDI/Audio > Send MIDI Sync. From now on, Finale will transmit MIDI Sync (Song Pointer data) any time it plays back your document. If you have connected your computer to an external sequencer (or another computer) configured to interpret this kind of MIDI message, it will wait in “pause” mode until Finale begins to play, at which point the two will play in synchronization.
