To “chase” patch changes before playback

1. Choose Window > Playback Controls. The Playback Controls appear.
2. Click the speaker icon. The Playback Settings dialog box appear.
3. Click Playback/Record Options.
4. Choose Dynamics and Markings > Chase from First Measure, then click OK. When you click a measure in the middle of a piece to begin playback, Finale will take a moment to scan your piece and “chase” any patch change markings that occur earlier in the piece up to the measure you clicked. In this way, Finale can keep track of any patch changes it encounters along the way, so that playback always begins with the correct current patch.
