Thanks to those who responded to the MIDI percussion mapping question. Another MIDI question. What is the best workaround for the playback problem, in a string section, of having the whole section go back and forth from pizz to arco when only one of the sections changes? When the celli or basses, for example, have pizz, the whole string section sounds like pizz.
And a comment about speed: for me the thing that is HORRIBLY slow now is smart shapes. When I click on a slur or hairpin to move it, it takes a full 3 seconds for the thing to be selected. Then there is a couple of seconds delay after I use my trackball to move it, so I am never sure exactly where it is going (while I'm waiting for the slur to respond, I sometimes drag it too far, and then when trying to correct that, I correct too far). In FinMac 09 (and previous for a long time) things were pretty fast. I am using a Powerbook G4 400mhz, with 768 mb of memory. I have everything else off when I run Finale. Granted, this is a three-year-old computer, and not the fastest on the market right now, but this is even less responsive than trying to run Digital Performer (which I usually run in conjunction with Reason). Does anyone have any ideas about how I can speed up Finale? Automatic Spacing and Automatic Update Layout are both off. I'm working on a large orchestral piece, and am about 60 measures into it (the file is now at about 135mb). Thanks for any and all suggestions, David Froom _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
