You are also required to program the bypass tray size on the printer itself, so that's the largest paper size it will accept -- 12x17. However, the printer itself has no problems feeding 12x18 paper (dunno about the duplexer, though). It's also possible to program a custom paper size of 12x18 in the Page Setup dialog on the computer -- however, this causes all sorts of weird cropping and alignment issues. I got closest to success by choosing a paper size of 12x17 in the Page Setup dialog as well. However, as you might expect, with that option selected, telling Finale to print 2-up results in Finale scaling the size down. I also tried making a 12x18 PDF and then printing that with a Page Setup of 12x17. It gives you the paper too large dialog and I selected crop. This *almost* worked -- but it printed the far right edge of the page as close to the edge as possible, and the last 1 of the far left edge was in fact cut off, as I thought it might be. Damn, so close! If I was printing an oversize score in Portrait orientation, with 1 margins all around (actually 1.17 margins), that should work, but for parts booklets, it's no good. One thing that I haven't tried yet, but that ought to work, would be to print the left-side pages of a 9x12 2-up, then turn the printer around and print the right-side pages. That's an awful lot of manual fiddling, though, and for booklets my brain might explode -- (even if Jari's booklet plugin was available for OS X). How about the rest of you Ricoh owners out there?

Tie it to a whole note Bb in measure 2. 4) Confirm that a tie-end appears at the beginning of the whole note in measure 2 by moving measure 2 down to the next system in page view. 5) Using the Staff Tool, set the staff transposition of the entire staff to Bb (Up M2, Add 2 Sharps). MAKE SURE THAT DISPLAY IN CONCERT PITCH IS **NOT** CHECKED IN THE VIEW MENU. (You should still see the tie-end into the note in measure 2 at this point.) 6) Using the Speedy Entry tool, click on measure 2 to launch the Speedy frame. (Notice that the tie-end immediately disappears!) If instead of launching the speedy frame you were to option-click on measure 2, you would see that Tie End is checked in the Frame Attributes dialog. If you closed the dialog and option-clicked on the measure again, Tie End would now be unchecked -- and there would be no way to keep it checked again! The only work-around I've found (not involving fake tie-ends entered as slurs or expressions) is to turn off staff transposition and re-simulate it by changing the key signature for the entire staff (checking Transpose All Keys Proportionally) and transposing the entire staff up or down an octave or two when necessary.

FinMac 2003, I have dotted notes in two layers at the interval of a second, and the lower note has a flat. Finale spaces this by default with the Layer 2 note WAY to the right to avoid colliding the flat and the upper note's dot. In Special Tool I have moved the dot of the upper note to the right, and I have moved the flat on the lower note to the left, then I used the Special Tool to move the Layer 2 note back left where it should be. This leaves a big gap at the end of the measure, but I can't get Finale to respace the measure properly. I have checked Incorporate Manual Spacing hoping that it would, but it just moves the lower note WAY to the right again. In fact, it moves it even when I HAVENT invoked Music Spacing. I realised this when I checked back a few minutes later and somehow Finale had decided to do something about it while I wasn't looking. What do I do?

Does Finale 2004 have copy protection? A. No. It does, however, require software registration within 30 days of installation. Failure to do so will temporarily disable printing and saving until you do register. You may also install Finale on two machines (on the same platform an additional platform disc is $50) for your personal use under one serial number at no additional charge. Q. How does this differ from Sibelius? A. Sibelius Software employs an encryption system to unlock the program to enable use. You are required to register the program with Sibelius within 5 days of loading it onto your computer. Sibelius grants the purchaser the right to use the product on a single terminal of a single computer in a single location. A second license may be granted in certain instances for non-simultaneous use, by the same user, for an additional fee. Any further use is prohibited. Q. How do I register? A. Finale provides a Registration Wizard that walks you though a few simple steps. If your computer is on-line, authorization occurs automatically at the conclusion of these steps. Q. What if I don't have an Internet connection? A. The Registration Wizard can print out a form that can be used by fax or mail. If you call MakeMusic! we can provide you with an authorization code that will complete your registration. Similarly if you send your form in by mail or fax, this code will be returned to you by the same means. Q. How long will this take? A. If you have an Internet connection it will take seconds. If you place a toll-free phone call, it will take minutes. If you fax us, we will typically return the fax by the next business day. If you send in your registration by mail, we'll return your authorization by mail, and this will take several days. Q. How many times can I install Finale? A. You can install and reinstall Finale an unlimited number of times on the same computer. If you own more than one computer you can install on the second computer an unlimited number of times as well. Should you get a new computer (or hard drive) and have previously only installed on one computer, you're still fine. Should you need to install on a third computer (say after buying a new machine), you will need only to place a toll-free call to MakeMusic!. Q. What happens if I reformat my hard drive? A. You will have to reregister, but this will not decrement the number of machines you can install on. Q. If I find something I dislike about this software registration, may I return Finale for a full refund? A. Yes. If you purchased either Finale or a Finale upgrade directly from MakeMusic!, and for any reason are not fully satisfied by it, you are welcome to return the software for a refund within 30 days of your purchase. Q. Why are you requiring software registration at this time? A. The worldwide Finale user base has grown dramatically over the years. The demands on our Technical Support and Customer Service resources have grown in step. Unfortunately, the growth of illegal copies of Finale has also grown dramatically. Registration affords us the means to continue to provide the best possible service to our loyal, paying customers and minimizes the impact of illegal copies on our ability to reinvest in product development. Q. How does this work in a site license setting? A. Finale comes with built-in support for KeyServer for network uses. An additional network solution for those not using KeyServer will be available in a forthcoming maintenance release. In a site setting with no special server or network needs, computers must be registered individually. Q. How do I transfer registration from one computer to another? A. Right now this type of transfer is possible but users must do so through MakeMusic! Customer Service. In a forthcoming maintenance release, which will be available free of charge to owners of Finale 2004, we will include a means to transfer registration from one computer to another without the need to contact MakeMusic!. Q. What happens if Im unable to register during normal phone hours? A. You can register via the Internet 24 hours a day. Additionally, we currently provide phone registration 24 hours a day (subject to change). Q. What happens if MakeMusic! ceases to exist? Will I still be able to use the software?A. If we cease to exist, Finale will continue to run on your computer. You would, however, run into problems if you tried, for example, to register a third machine. While we have no intention of disappearing, we take all customer concerns seriously, and in a forthcoming maintenance release, which will be available free of charge to

When creating *WAV files, are there particular criteria on what makes a good sample (how long should it be, should the transient effects at the beginning and end of the note be included or should I create multiple samples for different types of articulation and should these all go in the same soundfont bank?

Specific suggestions on what could be done to improve this area of Finale are often in short supply. If any of you have specific suggestions on improving Finale's defaults, I'd like to hear from you. We are at a point in the year when we are looking at the default files and deciding what changes are to be made. Please feel free to share them with me, either on or off-list. A main problem is that the default file will never suit every kind of user. But here are a couple of points that at least IMO would improve the Maestro Default file: * Change the measure number to Maestro 12. That would look better for classical music, don't know if that would be acceptable for popular music. Yes. * Move the staff names closer (horizontally) to the staff. Even with group brackets in the score, there are a pretty big gap there. Yes * I think staff names in bold look better (keep the Times Roman). Yes * The multi-measure rests look particulary ugly: 1. Change the default MM rest font to something like 18 or 20 point mastro (adjust the vertical position so the number appears above the staff). 2. Adjust the default end points (making the MM shape smaller). A cautionary clef should [by default] be able to the be placed at the end of the MM rest without colliding with the MM rest. 3. The current defaults for the MM rest width is too wide. Something like 300 EVPUs would work much better for classical music at least. Yes * Use a bit tighter spacing. Yes * I don't know what the A, B, C, D text expressions are supposed to be in the default file. Rehearsal letters? If that's the case, they should be in bold. I would delete these and make my own if I needed them. In other words, there should be as few defaults as possible so that libraries for each music file can be built without excess baggage. I would be satisfied with dynamics alone in the default file. * I personally think that the fingering articulations in the default file (default metatools 1-5) should be bold. But this is perhaps a matter of taste. I would delete these and make my own if I needed them. * Also, the slurs and ties should have the same look IMO (even if they're positioned differently), but others might disagree here. Yes.
