There are problems with Engraver slurs, but it sounds you are having
addtional problems.
I'm using FinMac 2005b. If my Engraver slur settings are wrong, what
should they be, and how do I change them? Would that be Smart Slur
Options? What should the numbers be? I haven't changed anything in
there, so what I'm saying is I'm getting what I'm getting by default.
Can you send me an example of slurs not being as you want them? Unless
it is font annotation I can probably tell you which settings might work.
However, the font annotation problem has not been ruled out yet. If that
is the problem I won't actually see it here. Do you use any other music
fonts than the ones Finale comes with? If that is the case you will have
to create font annotation for them yourself.
The setup wizard uses the pagesizes.txt file for margins, so the ones
in the default file get overlooked. Change the pagesizes.txt file,
look it up in the appendix of the manual.
The appendix was no help. I found the file in the Components folder.
This is the kind of thing that drives me crazy about Finale. Sure, it's
a powerful program, but trying to figure things out, especially when
you're under the gun, can be very frustrating.
I agree that it is hard to find, but here is what the manual has to say
(Appendix A-20):
Configuring Pagesizes.txt
The Setup Wizard, the Page Layout Tool and other parts of Finale use the
pagesizes.txt file to
determine the page size and margins of the score. You can edit this file
to get a custom page size
and margin. Make sure you save the file as text only.
[Page Sizes]
This section contains the page size name, Width and Height (followed by
a semicolon), Top Margin,
Bottom Margin, Left Margin, Right Margin, and a Left Margin for
single-instrument documents.
The Top and Bottom margins are assumed to be negative; there is no need
to put in the
minus sign.
Ex. Letter = 8.5, 11; .5, .5, 1, .5, .75
Now, how do I get my instrument library to load in a file created with
Setup Wizard?
I have no idea, actually, playback has never been one of my main concerns...
