In Finale, if using the Playback Window, playback starts from the beginning of the measure.

To Stop/Start in the middle of a measure, use the Space Bar, same as DP but I see there's a flag on the play: The delay caused by NotePerformer messes this up a little and I don't know of any workaround.

Hopefully, Arne Wallander can get NP4 out in the near future and it will address this among many other issues.

Thank you FMigulez and Mike, soon I will be able to work the way I want.

Now there is a thing I know that is possible and I will try to explain you even English is difficult for me.

If I start DP and Finale at 1/1/000, I will have a delay of 1 second because of Note Performer.
I know you can delay or shift (what is the word ?) the measure of 1 beat for example in DP
so that at the same time the first beat of DP is the first beat in Finale but DP plays late one beat.
Not a long time ago I read about that but I can't remember where.
May be you can see what I mean ?

The only problem I have now is how to tell Finale to start 1 second later after DP .....
I try since many hours and at this time found nothing .....
