Hi all, Now that TGTools is available for Fin2010, I've finally switched over from Fin2008.
I am, overall, very happy with Fin2010 (the ability to right-justify non-multimeasure rest measure numbers is great) but there is one very serious annoyance: In Fin2008, Cmd-X (cut) and the Clear key used to leave Staff Styles alone. Now it removes them. This is a HUGE drag on my productivity, because I use staff styles to handle all of my wind doubles -- and my writing includes a LOT of wind doubles. Now, every time I change my mind and use Cmd-X or Clear to remove music from, e.g., the Wind 1 staff, then enter something else, I have to go back and re-apply the staff style for whatever instrument Wind 1 happens to be playing at that moment (flute, alto flute, soprano sax -- you get the idea). I also have to be much more methodical than ever before about checking the staff styles on EVERY wind part to make sure they did not get inadvertently deleted -- before I could just select a region, hit the metatool for the Bass Clarinet staff style, and be confident that all of the music in that region would be correctly transposed for bass clarinet, no matter what kind of editing I was doing. Now I have to double-check and triple-check everything. How is everyone else dealing with this problem? It is currently a huge source of frustration, and is slowing me down like you would not believe. Cheers, - DJA ----- WEB: http://secretsociety.typepad.com _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
