When you already had a previous version of Finale (e.g. PL v3.x in JW Lua still requires Rosetta mode.ġ.) Did you install Finale 27 after you have installed Perfect Layout? PL v3.x in RGP Lua supports the native mode. In the File menu click on " Get Info" in the menu bar Open Finder and select the "Finale 27" app. If you have an M1 chip, it's recommended to use Perfect Layout v3.x in Finale 27.2 on an M1 chip with RGP Lua in native mode as it is about 40% faster than in Rosetta mode. They may not be compatible with with the native mode and then don't show up in the Finale plug-in menu. This also affects other third party Finale plug-ins: In this case please run Finale 27.2 in Rosetta mode - then Perfect Layout and JW Lua will work. However if you try to use Perfect Layout v2.x in JW Lua, it won't work in native mode of Finale 27.2 on the Apple M1 chip. This will work fine in Finale 27.2 - both on an M1 in native mode or in Rosetta mode. On macOS it looks the same - except the path which typically looks like this:īy default Perfect Layout v3.x (from on 3.0071 ) installs and uses RGP Lua as the base plug-in for Finale. If the file looks like this and includes the correct path of the " ES Perfect Layout (for Menu).lua" file, Finale will show " Elbsound JW Lua/ES Perfect Layout" in its plug-in menu. If you don't see the ES Perfect Layout entry in your Finale menu, you can also edit the path in the file manually in a text editor. The installer has a few repair options, but can't solve all problems automatically. Usually the Perfect Layout installer will create this file automatically.įor example, if the plug-in folder already existed and included this file and the file was messed up (it's not very likely, but possible). In Perfect Layout v3.x/Finale 25-27 the file in the Finale/Plug-ins/Elbsound JW Lua folder tells Finale to show ES Perfect Layout in the plug-in menu. These font annotation files are currently recreated each time after you have run the full installer to make sure the font annotation files have the latest format. In Finale's subfolder Font Annotation, the Elbsound plug-ins also generate their own font annotation files with the file extension. It is automatically opened at the end of the processing.ĥ.) LastFANFileCheck.txt: stores info about when the last update or font check has been performedĦ.) ESFontFileNames.txt: stores info about the available fonts and font locations on your system Note: this file is only generated from within the Elbsound installer (!), not from running the plug-in.Ģ.) JALAYOUX.ini (the X letter depends on your plug-in edition): this file stores the last used user settings of Perfect Layoutģ.) JALAYOUX.log or JALAYOUX64.log: this log file stores all progress bar text messages from the last usage of the plug-inĤ.) ES Perfect Layout.log: this second log file gives more detailed feedback about the last processed file. The file will recreate itself once the plug-in was used, but still your original settings are gone, if you delete it. If you delete this file manually, all user settings from any JW plug-ins will be deleted. If this file is missing or corrupt, the plug-in will not appear in Finale's plug-in menu. It also stores the location of the plug-in. If they are missing, the installer or the plug-in itself will (re-)generate them.ġ.) jwpluginstorage.xml: this file determines Finale's plug-in menu name of Perfect Layout and also other JW plug-ins. None of these files are necessary to run Perfect Layout. So the files are available - and can be different! - in each Finale version. MacOS: ~/library/application support/makemusic/finale 26Įach Finale version has its own folder. Windows: c:\users\YOURNAME\appdata\roaming\makemusic\finale 26 (or other Finale version) Perfect Layout generates up to 6 files in Finale's user folder.
