Dear Finalelist:
Some problems that I never had with Finale 2000...
1. I wish to delete some finale files. Simple, eh?
Moved them to trash singly. Wouldn't go in.
Moved them to trash as a group. No dice.
Dragged one to desktop to try from there - it made a new copy.
Looked it up on the online help:
read through chapter on file: no help
searched for word delete in the entire text: ditto
While looking around for options I came across an alternate File
listing - toward the bottom I saw "Move to Trash" but it was gray.
Tried for a while to find this again with a file highlighted - no luck.
Back to online help: searched for "move to trash : "no matches found".
Obvious question - how do I delete a file??? Not so obvious - where
is my alternate File listing? How do I get to it?
2. Also embarrassingly simple but I've spent too much time on this as
well: How do I get a new folder into my listing of files to organize
it?
3. Not quite so simple: what is the easiest way of setting up a part
for - say Bb Clarinet on the right pitch but without a key
signature? At this point I make the file in the automatic fashion,
go to Staff, Edit Staff Attributes, and choose No Key. Then I have
to go through and check all the accidentals that don't show because
of the transposed key and fix them. Is there an easier way?
Should I try making a part for flute and then transposing and
renaming it?
Thanks so much for your help, and how nice to connect with a couple
of old friends!
