Hello All, Sorry for being tiresome, but I still have problems with
speedy entry:
1) suppose I want to add other voices, how do I do this? Whatever I do,
the thing stays in V1;
2) there is something I do not like in Speedy: if I have been typing,
say, quarter notes and the last note was an F and then I press 3 because
I want sixteen notes, the thing immediately produces a sixteenth F - am
I doing something wrong, or is this just the way it is? Thanks and with
best regards, Will
Finale has two ways of doing this: Layers and Voices.
Layers (up to four are possible in a single staff, each with 2 possible
voices) are for times when you want two completely independent parts on
one staff, such as soprano and alto voices in a choral part, or two very
distinct flute parts on a single staff in an orchestral score.
Voices (only 2 are possible, for each layer on a staff) are for when you
want occasional splits between two parts, but other wise either unison
parts or parts with chords which share the same rhythm.
To enter a new layer, simply click the appropriate number at the lower
left of your screen. You should see a change in color for the notes you
enter.
To enter something into voice 2, simply hit the ' key (the apostrophe)
and you'll see the V1 change to V2. You need to be in the exact
rhythmic location where you want voice 2 to begin, because as soon as
you move left or right, Finale will revert to V1.
As for your Speedy problem, I've never seen that behavior, unless you
are using Speedy Entry with a Midi Keyboard and have Caps-Lok ON.
