to MP3,
since nobody can tell the difference between
generated WAVE files and MP3 (which is vastly
compacter). And, with MusicMatch from MP3
onto demo CDs.
It's too bad more products can't save MIDI to
WAVE. You can also do it (indirectly) with
QuickTime. Band-in-a-Box can save directly
as WAVE.

No, shouting.
Using all caps is the e-mail equivalent of shouting.
For emphasis, conventional practice is to emphasize *one* or *two words*
with either asterisks or _underscores_.
I would highly recommend reading "Emily Postnews Answers Your Questions
on Netiquette." (for instance, at:
<http://www.faqs.org/faqs/usenet/emily-postnews/>). It deals with these
and a number of other basic "how not to pick your nose in public on the
Internet" points.
My recommendation is aimed at _everyone_ who has not yet read this little
document.
Cheers,

Sure, use Finale Graphics Function (you have to be in pageview)
For just a few bars use doubleclick+drag a rectangle
For the whole page use "Export pages" in graphics menu
Be sure to use tiff and a min of 300dpi (better 600) for export.
If you have a postscript printer you can also try to use eps as word is
able to import it.
I'm not sure with that one, never tried.

Windows?
Apparently not. Finale's cut/copy does not place anything on the Windows
clipboard.
I just did a screen capture of a few measures and pasted it into
Word. That seems to work well.

Dear Yuling,
The way I have done it: In Finale choose the Graphics Tool, in Page
View, double-click and drag a box around the music you want to import
into Word. Choose Export Selection from the menu. In the dialog box
that appears, choose EPS from the pull-down menu, click Downlowd
Fonts, and Create a Bitmap preview. This will create a new file that
you can import into Word using Import Picture. In your Word file, put
the cursor just below the text where you want it. You can size it or
change its left margin if necessary. It will print nicely on a
post-script printer.

Our music department adopted Mosaic in 1994 and subsequently switched to
Finale in about 1998, because of more favorable pricing for our students,
as far as I know. (They are required by our university to have a minimum
package of communications and applications programs, and our department
further requires majors to have--as of now--Finale.) Our department head
has about had it with Finale and the difficulties our students are
consistently having in making it work. He is seriously considering
adopting Sibelius.
With great respect to the power users who are so wonderfully helpful in
this forum, what we need and what almost everyone in music needs is a
program that produces professional looking copy right out of the box in an
intuitive manner that anyone can quickly learn. No tweaking. No default
file fiddling around. No needing to add plugins or write them in order to
do things the basic program should be doing for you. I belong to the
overwhelming majority (outside this list, at least) who couldn't write a
plugin to save my life. I am a computer user, not a computer programmer.
I probably use less than 5% of the capabilities in ANY program I run,
because to keep selling upgrades the programmers keep adding to what the
programs will do. I don't need those capabilities. In fact I'm sure I
don't even know about them. The same thing is true of Finale. I will
never need and never use 90% of its fancy bells and whistles, and neither
will our students. Sibelius sounds better and better to me for what the
average musician, not the professional engraver, needs in a program.

Just a quick disctinction: _underscores_ generally mean italic, for titles

developed from author's typescript markup.

I've learned that one Windows feature is not very well known. You don't
need to use the screen capture feature of a graphics application. Pressing
the Windows "Print Screen" key will do it (at least up through Win98SE).
The advantage of this is speed, avoiding the menus and escape sequences
that most graphics applications go through. You can capture, ALT+TAB, paste
screen as you're working, ALT+TAB back to your application, and repeat. You
can then edit the lot of them later.
So if you only need a few bars in Finale, open Finale and your graphics
app. Zoom in to those few measures, hit "Print Screen", ALT+TAB to the
graphics app, paste, ALT+TAB back to Finale, find the next batch of
measures, and repeat. When you're done, trim, save, and you'll have fairly
good-resolution images to paste into Word for printing.

I wonder that most of you recommend using a Screen capture Utility?
I recenently worked on a Musical with lots of small pieces so it was
very hard to make
Instrument-Parts out of it.
What i did was using the Graphic Export of Finale after extracting all
the small Parts and then I assembled everything in Adobe Pagemaker. If
you use at least 600dpi in TIFF there's almost no difference to Finale
Output. Far more easy then copying and pasting the pieces.

(The complete message from John is quoted below since it went to me
personally instead of to the list)
I think the main problem with Finale in this respect is that Coda has not
yet managed to provide Finale with good house settings for everyday use. And
yes, I would love to have support for house styles in Finale in a way
similar to Sibelius's. A start would be support for multiple default files
in the doc wizard, with several different styles ready to start with.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Another technique is to save the Finale file
as MIDI, then use the Roland Virtual Sound Canvas
product (available from PG Music or Roland,
around $40) which has a feature for converting
MIDI files to WAVE. It's easy to convert
a whole directory of MIDI files to WAVE.
Then I use MusicMatch to go from WAVE to MP3,
since nobody can tell the difference between
generated WAVE files and MP3 (which is vastly
compacter). And, with MusicMatch from MP3
onto demo CDs.
It's too bad more products can't save MIDI to
WAVE. You can also do it (indirectly) with
QuickTime. Band-in-a-Box can save directly
as WAVE.

No, shouting.
Using all caps is the e-mail equivalent of shouting.
For emphasis, conventional practice is to emphasize *one* or *two words*

For just a few bars use doubleclick+drag a rectangle
For the whole page use "Export pages" in graphics menu
Be sure to use tiff and a min of 300dpi (better 600) for export.

Windows?
Apparently not. Finale's cut/copy does not place anything on the Windows
clipboard.
I just did a screen capture of a few measures and pasted it into
Word. That seems to work well.

I don't have a "Reply All" button on my menu. (MacEudora) This change is
a big step backward for what is supposed to be a group forum. Please
change it back! I do not want to have to go through an address change
every time I reply to the list. That is simply stupid!

Dear Yuling,
The way I have done it: In Finale choose the Graphics Tool, in Page
View, double-click and drag a box around the music you want to import
into Word. Choose Export Selection from the menu. In the dialog box
that appears, choose EPS from the pull-down menu, click Downlowd
Fonts, and Create a Bitmap preview. This will create a new file that
you can import into Word using Import Picture. In your Word file, put
the cursor just below the text where you want it. You can size it or
change its left margin if necessary. It will print nicely on a
post-script printer.

Our music department adopted Mosaic in 1994 and subsequently switched to
Finale in about 1998, because of more favorable pricing for our students,
as far as I know. (They are required by our university to have a minimum
package of communications and applications programs, and our department
further requires majors to have--as of now--Finale.) Our department head
has about had it with Finale and the difficulties our students are
consistently having in making it work. He is seriously considering
adopting Sibelius.
With great respect to the power users who are so wonderfully helpful in
this forum, what we need and what almost everyone in music needs is a
program that produces professional looking copy right out of the box in an
intuitive manner that anyone can quickly learn. No tweaking. No default
file fiddling around. No needing to add plugins or write them in order to
do things the basic program should be doing for you. I belong to the
overwhelming majority (outside this list, at least) who couldn't write a
plugin to save my life. I am a computer user, not a computer programmer.
I probably use less than 5% of the capabilities in ANY program I run,
because to keep selling upgrades the programmers keep adding to what the
programs will do. I don't need those capabilities. In fact I'm sure I
don't even know about them. The same thing is true of Finale. I will
never need and never use 90% of its fancy bells and whistles, and neither
will our students. Sibelius sounds better and better to me for what the
average musician, not the professional engraver, needs in a program.

Just a quick disctinction: _underscores_ generally mean italic, for titles
and citations. *Asterisks* mean bold emphasis. This convention originally
developed from author's typescript markup.

I've learned that one Windows feature is not very well known. You don't
need to use the screen capture feature of a graphics application. Pressing
the Windows "Print Screen" key will do it (at least up through Win98SE).
The advantage of this is speed, avoiding the menus and escape sequences
that most graphics applications go through. You can capture, ALT+TAB, paste
screen as you're working, ALT+TAB back to your application, and repeat. You
can then edit the lot of them later.
So if you only need a few bars in Finale, open Finale and your graphics
app. Zoom in to those few measures, hit "Print Screen", ALT+TAB to the
graphics app, paste, ALT+TAB back to Finale, find the next batch of
measures, and repeat. When you're done, trim, save, and you'll have fairly
good-resolution images to paste into Word for printing.

I wonder that most of you recommend using a Screen capture Utility?
I recenently worked on a Musical with lots of small pieces so it was
very hard to make
Instrument-Parts out of it.
What i did was using the Graphic Export of Finale after extracting all
the small Parts and then I assembled everything in Adobe Pagemaker. If
you use at least 600dpi in TIFF there's almost no difference to Finale
Output. Far more easy then copying and pasting the pieces.

Thank you! But I notice that the list address, in which "lists" has been
replaced by "unxmail," is new and different. Are we supposed to make that

(The complete message from John is quoted below since it went to me
personally instead of to the list)
I think the main problem with Finale in this respect is that Coda has not
yet managed to provide Finale with good house settings for everyday use. And
yes, I would love to have support for house styles in Finale in a way
similar to Sibelius's. A start would be support for multiple default files
in the doc wizard, with several different styles ready to start with.
