Since I stopped doing regular engraving a few years ago, I've kept subscribed to the list but I only look at it intermittently. As a result, I sometimes stumble upon an old thread many months later.
If it's still of interest, I think I can shed further light on this topic: On Jun 27, 2015, at 4:57 PM, Darcy James Argue wrote: > Long glissandos — especially those that pass through stems without noteheads > — often require ties for playback so that the note doesn't reattack. > > On Jun 27, 2015, at 7:00 PM, Lawrence Yates <[email protected]> wrote: > >> I imply no criticism, but just out of interest, why would you want to hide >> a tie? >>> >>>> What's the easiest way to hide a tie? (Other than duplicating the >>> notation without ties in another layer and hiding the playback layer, which >>> is what I normally have to resort to.) When I did work for Recordare way back when I learned a lot of nifty "under the hood" tricks from Michael Good, one of which involved hiding ties. A tie will draw if the start note is coded as "Tie Start", but the playback re-attack is suppressed only if the second note is coded as "Tie End". All the normal ways of entering a tie code these both at the same time, but if you edit it directly in the Edit Frames window, you can check the second note for Tie End without checking the first note for Tie Start. This essentially creates an invisible tie which works for playback but doesn't appear. Assuming nothing has changed since v2010 (the last version I have), to get to the Edit Frames window you go into Speedy Entry and then option-click the measure you want (but only if that measure is NOT selected for Speedy Edit). The Edit Frames interface is not particularly user-friendly, so it takes some getting used to, especially if you aren't already technically minded. mdl _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] https://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale To unsubscribe from finale send a message to: [email protected]
