Hey Mike Casteel, Regarding the naming of PDFs, it's interesting what I would logically do in Mac OSX is instead of clicking on the name tab at the top of the folder window (which sorts files alphabetically by file name) I would click on the "Date Modified" tab which sorts the file by their creating date (and time). The logic being Finale would generate the parts either form the top or bottom of the instrument list in the print window which is in score order. I tried it and oddly enough Finale prints in a semi-random order (okay maybe semi-random isn't a word). But I just tried it on an studio orchestra score 2's on the WW's, 2 horns, elec guitar, harp, strings. The score is in typical order of WWs, Brass etc The PDFs printed in this order: Fl 1 Fl 2 Oboe 1 Oboe 2 Basson 1 Cl 1 Cl Basson 2 etc.
Strings go Vln 1 Cello VLA Vln 2 DB Timpani (which started out above in the perc section) So, I thought I had a slick solution but alas no. ;-( Hinchey John Hinchey Nashville Tennessee Phone: 615-397-3675 Website: Hinchey Music Services http://www.hincheymusic.com/ Blog: "Notes On Notes" http://johnhinchey.com/ Twitter: @hincheymusic http://twitter.com/hincheymusic On Dec 18, 2010, at 12:01 PM, <[email protected]> <[email protected]> wrote: > Message: 1 > Date: Fri, 17 Dec 2010 12:16:13 -0600 > From: Mike Casteel <[email protected]> > Subject: [Finale] Naming PDFs > To: <[email protected]> > Message-ID: <[email protected]> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"; format=flowed; delsp=yes > > Does anyone know of a way to logically name PDFs so they appear in > score order within a folder?
