Hi, folks. Running 2010 on a Macbook pro. Orchestrating an opera from a series of piano reductions, which I import into a standard orchestra template, with a standard two-stave piano line between the singers and the strings (then I delete the piano line when I'm done with each number).
This particular number needed a harp, and since the piano score was a means to an end, I just tried to convert the piano line into a harp in the instrument list (GM = Orchestral Harp, but under instrument, it wouldn't let me plug in a harp, it just came out as Instrument 33). It sounded like a flute. Created a new harp line using New Staves (with setup Wizard). This time it sounded like a harp. Then, in playback, so did the flute. Changed the flute to sound like a flute, and the harp sounded like a flute as well. Finally, created a whole new orchestra and imported the file, which worked after a bit of manipulation. But why is it so difficult to just add a new instrument? I had the same issues when I tried to add a solo violin line to an orchestration. Planning to upgrade soon. Is 2012 any better at that? How 'bout 2014? Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, and best, Mike _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] https://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale To unsubscribe from finale send a message to: [email protected]
