I am using an MTPII as my midi interface and have the correct driver and plugin from Griffin dutifully installed and OS X sees it an seemingly recognizes it. But no MIDI whatsoever. The MTP recognizes my KX88 as the input device since the input LED does flash whenever I play the KB, but I can't get MIDI flowing to any device created in Audio MIDI setup. JD, Go into MIDI Set-up in the MIDI menu in the menu bar, and make sure the midi system selected is CORE MIDI. Check the listing of input and output devices in the same window. Did you wire your devices properly in the auto set-up window? You may need to drag wires from in-ports to out-ports.

[Finale] Finale pro needed
Dear list, The New York City based S.E.M. Ensemble needs a professional computer engraver immediately for a notation job. Please contact me off-list for additional information. Thanks. Herman___ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
[Finale] Odd flip
I'll further clarify my problem: Using FinMac 2003: I have a score in which the percussion set-up is 2 one-line staves and one five-line (timpani) staff. I am able to enter notes on the top one-line staff and the timpani staff, and flip them normally with speedy entry (f). When I try to flip notes on the SECOND one-line staff, the stems are greatly reduced in length, with only the flags showing. . The only fix I can come up with is to drag the stems to their normal length using the special stem tool. What might be causing this stem-length problem, which I have never seen before?

[Finale] MIDI problem
One of my files plays back nicely from the score. I created a Finale MIDI file which greatly speeds up the tempo, and causes a huge slowdown and freeze on a ritard near the end. Is this a problem with Quicktime Player or the Finale file? I am using FinMac 2003 on a G4 in Classic mode.

[Finale] MIDI bass sax

[Finale] Charge for commission
Andrew, Actually, you are the only one who knows what your time is worth. Why not estimate how many hours you will spend composing the commissioned work and multiply by your hourly rate? There must be some cut off point at which you know you will not do the work. Don't charge less per hour for composing than you would for engraving. If the group really wants you to write them a piece, and no other composer will fill the bill, then they will pay what you ask. If you work for cheap or for free, then that's all you can ever expect do. As some other listers have indicated in the past, $50 to $60 per hour seems about right.

Herman - My understanding of the intended (albeit limitied) function of this plug-in is: It goes through your selected area and displays dynamics based on the midi key velocity found in that region. So if you use speedy/simple to enter your data, chances are good that everything will be pegged around an mf. I know it's not what I need it to be. Thanks John, Am I right in assuming that dynamics cannot be placed as easily as articulations? If I want to place a few identical dynamics in several measures, must each one be done manually? The dynamic placement plug-in is almost at the point where it might allow the placement of ANY dynamic. Herman ___ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

[Finale] Image retention of deleted objects
An annoying result of deleting and re-positioning various objects such as expressions and hairpins, is that a ghost of the deleted and/or moved object remains on the screen until a redraw. Is this par for the course? If not, how can it be eliminated? Herman ___ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

[Finale] Speedy MIDI entry
Dear list, When entering notation from a MIDI keyboard into a transposing staff such as the clarinet part of a score, are the MIDI notes supposed to be automatically transposed as they are entered, or are they entered in concert pitch only? If they are supposed to be automatically transposed as they are entered, what might cause them to be entered in concert pitch.

[Finale] Andrew Stiller's quote of John Cage
Andrew Stiller wrote (in part) on Dec. 28: After a 1975 performance of his _Song Books_ in that manner, Cage had a lot to say, among which: Last night when I heard the S.E.M. Ensemble play Song Books, I regretted that I composed it. I regret that my work now exists as something so widely mnisunderstood. As a performer with Petr Kotik's S.E.M. Ensemble for a period of more than 10 years, and as Director of the Ensemble's educational program, I have witnessed the closest collaboration between Petr Kotik and John Cage. A wonderful highlight of that collaboration was the Tribute to John Cage held at Carnegie Hall for an international audience, in which an Mr. Kotik conducted the full version of ATLAS ECLIPTICALIS with an orchestra of 86 players. As part of the educational program created by S.E.M., Petr Kotik invited Cage to attend a student performance of his music at John Dewey High school in Brooklyn, NY. After the performance, Cage totally fascinated a large audience of teachers and students with his poetry readings, humor and musical ideas. Not a word about being misunderstood. I have never witnessed anything but total respect for and intense dedication to the music of John Cage by the members of the S.E.M. Ensemble and the S.E.M. Orchestra. Until his death, Cage frequently attended S. E. M. rehearsals and performances of his music. If anyone is misunderstanding Cage's music, it cannot be S. E. M.'s music director, Petr Kotik, whose performances and recordings of Cage and other avant-garde composers have received the highest praise around the world.
