Just like you finale is looking forward thanks to numerous technological changes in the core of Finale. Whether you’re creating a simple lead sheet, making worksheets for your students, or composing your magnum opus, Finale helps you easily capture your musical ideas, produce beautiful notation, and quickly share the results. I just got the new update today as well, so more holiday cheer for me.To notate music is to look forward – to the performance, and beyond. Thanks, but I celebrate Christmas, not Chanukah.

This appears to be the closest match available. Select the Wind Chime and from the drop down menu below select Auxiliary, then Bell Tree. Go to the Utilities Menu > Transpose Percussion Notes.Ĥ. Choose the Selection tool and highlight those measures. In the Percussion Map column, select SmartMusic SoftSynth > Basic Orchestral Percussion. Percussion staff and change it's channel to 42. In the third bank, load the SmartMusic SoftSynth. Go to the MIDI/Audio Menu > Instrument Setup > VST Instruments. Probably the best option is to substitute a different sound from the SmartMusic SoftSynth.

For the Wind Chimes, the issue is that you are using Garritan Instruments for Finale, which does not actually include this type of patch. The option is available, but they taunt you by not actually including the sample. I've never actually managed to get my (real) windchimes to play exactly what I've notated in a score. 'When all is said and done, more is said than done.' And, if the tambourine is the correct sound for Wind Chims, then I guess Finale percussion is working perfectly. I don't know of any other wind chime available with any of the sets included with finale. Notice that one plays as a tambourine and one a wind chime.
