Until recently, I had my default file carried over and over FinMac
versions for years but many on this list have suggested it is a bad
idea, and I should load custom libraries to Maestro default file instead.
I found myself frustrated doing this since I don't yet to have complete
libraries, other than obvious ones such as Chord Lib, to complete my
setup. I was wondering if anyone would list the usual libraries I
should create once for all so I could learn from it.
I think the way to do this is to sit down, spend some time
thinking
about the work you do, and deciding what expressions and
articulations
you most commonly need.
For myself, I have a library for organ, containing customary
designations for manuals (I, II, III; Swell, Great;) and
organ stops
(diapasons, strings); I have one for tempi, where I keep the
full range
of tempi from lento through prestississimo. I also have a
choir
expression library, that I use for such things as "Choir I"
"Choir II",
"Soprano" "Solo" "Full", "sotto voce", &c. My string
library is very
rudimentary, as I don't know nearly as much about strings as
I should;
"arco", "pizz", "col altri", &c. I have yet to do any work
with chords;
when I start, I'll doubtless develop a chord library, too.
By the way, here is my problem with loading my Chord Lib. What I
thought I should be doing:
- Open new Maestro default file
hmmm. I'm on very thin ice here (<big grin mode on>it is,
after all,
August in Dallas, TX, and we rarely get ice even in January
<big grin
mode off>) since I haven't made much use of the chord tool,
but why not
start with an empty document, instead, and then load the
chord library?
Do your editing, and when you are done editing, save your
new chord
library with a new name.....
- Select Chord Tool
- Select Edit Learned Chord
- Make some move to call up the Chord Assignment Dialog
- Delete all the chord entries
- Cancel out Chord Tool
- Load my own Chord Lib
If at this point you quit the document you loaded, and load
a new one,
do you still get the following behavior?
When I go to Edit Learned Chord again, I find many are wrong because
learned chord seems to be pointing to large ID number
