Script and e-match descrepancy

My show script has 725 ques. When I address the show it has 752 e-matches needed. Why the difference?

How to add up prices of all product used in show.

I’m sure there is a simple way to do this but I have been unable to find one in the software documentation. How do I get the software to tell me how much all the stuff I’ve currently got in a particular show will cost without adding it all up manually?

Effect issue

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nkcLCvAFpLw8FY0hTb1WfZ_e2sa1TT8K/view?usp=sharing I built up an effect like this, but the height changes every time. I had set the random height percentage to 0, but it still happens. I don’t know how to fix it. effect VDL:{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}

Reply To: MP3 audio issues (static, crackling, popping, clicking) when importing songs into Finale 3D

It’s really frustrating that such an expensive and unique piece of software has a bug this common that has not been fixed for years.   Hi TheNecromancer13, I completely understand your frustration. You are absolutely NOT stuck with the glitch for your upcoming show — we’re here to help.  If you’re not seeing the waveform on the Finale 3D timeline after importing a WAV file, it’s because your WAV file has an incompatible sample rate or bit depth. Make sure your WAV file has a sample rate of 44,100 Hz (44.1 kHz) and a bit depth of 16-bit. Alternatively, you simply send your soundtrack to support@finale3d.com and we’ll fix it up for you and send it right back.

IE; 4″ 3.0s Chain Of 6 125.0 HTM Red Chrysanthemum   Going to Effects > Create effect and typing the visual descriptive language (VDL) is perfectly fine. You can also make a chain effect (which is saved in the effects window) by following the steps NEC described. The benefit of NEC’s approach is that it makes it very easy to make chains that contain shells that are different effects. Check out the Creating finale chains (two different ways) tutorial video.

Yes, you can do that to change things up.  If you want to experiment more / experiment  then going thru the steps in my original post would be the best path.  The VDL I posted was generated from those steps

Good morning. I believe there may be a misunderstanding of what I am looking for. I am trying to create a finale chain in my effects window. I have not been able to locate very much information through the fireworks company libraries of effects. So I want to create my own. I have attached a picture of what effect Im trying to create.

Easy way — drop shells needed for desired chain on a position, create a sequence of desired duration (Script–>Sequences–>Make into sequence), select all effects in sequence  and create chain (Effects–>Combine as chain effect)   Example of a 3″ 10 shot 3 second chain VDL created this way –> 3″ 3.0s Chain Of 10 110.0 HTM Red Chrysanthemum
