Thanks Foxby, I tried every conceivable settings
but shouldn't the midi reflect the audio tempo changes anyway?
I have all tempo variation fields in HP preferences unchecked btw
but have you also exported the audio from the same files and checked in the DAW if audio and midi were aligned? Because that's where I'm in trouble...I don't know what is happening with your tempo, but I have exported dozens of scores in Finale to midi and the tempo is no problem. Except for the last measure. Sometimes the midi doesn't pick up the last tempo variation. I always add an extra empty measure.
I feel some comfort knowing I'm not aloneI did what Rob suggested , and yes, unfortunately Finale is doing something under the hood regarding the tempo.....couldn't get good results also ! :(

Not a latency compensation issue Arne, that’d be easy to fix... timing variations are spread through all the duration of the piece, irregularly. Sudden tempo changes, rallentando etc.If you export with NotePerformer, could you please try MIDI or Garritan, just to see if this has anything to do with latency conpensation?
It’s known that audio export with NP is one second late. Due to it, audio can be cut off prematurely at the end, if the music ends without headroom.
I need Noteperformer's audio exported and mixed with midi so working all midi isn't an option... anyway Foxby confermed there's a bug in Finale/human playbackI hardly ever export audio, but in the few cases I did, the audio was correct. It's always better to export the midi and then work on the midi in your DAW.
You're right, I don't actually think this is the cause. But it's worth a shot, in case there's a more low-level issue, e.g. notes being delayed by one second, but not tempo events.Not a latency compensation issue Arne, that’d be easy to fix... timing variations are spread through all the duration of the piece, irregularly.

Ok I'll try that, thank you ArneYou're right, I don't actually think this is the cause. But it's worth a shot, in case there's a more low-level issue, e.g. notes being delayed by one second, but not tempo events.
Thanks for posting this Bill, might be interesting...Using Finale's "tempo map" - Scoring Notes
A tempo map is a MIDI track containing tempo information in beats per minute. Finale generates a tempo map when it parses a track, but its tempo handling won’t behave as you might expect if you’ve worked in a DAW or other notation software. Here are some common problems and solutions.www.scoringnotes.com
