[Finale 2002]
I am having problems using the tenuto articulation (line above/below a
note-head) when applied to repeated notes. The default playback is 'change
of duration' set to 105%. This works fine when the notes vary, but used on
a repeated note, the playback is bizarre. The first note works okay, but
subsequent notes are shortened, including the first note following the
tenuti without the sign. I have attempted to fix this by increasing the
duration, which makes some notes better but some worse.
Does anyone know a playback combination that will work on repeated notes?
At the moment I have decided the best option is to create a copy with no
playback effect.
Try setting it to 100% -- after all, if each quarter note (for instance)
of a 4/4 measure is set to a length of 105%, the total length of the
measure will have to be increased by 20%, which Finale isn't equipped to
do without changing tempo or using fermatas. So what is happening I
think is that it has to get that extra 5% from somewhere, thus the
shortened other notes.
This is just a conjecture on my part, but unless you plan on lengthening
each beat (i.e. slowing the tempo down) for all parts, any with tenuto
marks will be screwy in order for the measure to maintain the proper length.
The reason it works alright on different notes is that the second note
is begun before the note-off for the first note is sent, making for very
smooth playback. But the same note can't receive a note-on while it
already has a note-on in effect on the same channel, since it's already
on. That is also conjecture, based on my knowledge of midi data.
