For those of you who have been following this (2?!), here is the latest communique from MakeMusic. This is possibly the best and most cogent response I've received from MakeMusic in response to bugs & feature requests. For those not following, this regards the misplacement of the augmentation dot on eighth rests in Jazzfont, and the inability of the program to adjust augmentation dot spacing of rests without adjusting augmentation note spacing.
"Hi Girard, Thanks for your patience on this. I want to first apologize for my initial answers to your question - in my mind, I had compartmentalized the issue down to the simple matter of Finale's Augmentation Dot settings not differentiating between note-attached vs rest-attached augmentation dots. After going through this process, it is clear that there is an Augmentation Dot bug that affects the placement of the dot relative to the rest (using Jazz font). I stand corrected. Unfortunately, we do not currently have this on our issues list, but I will be happy to submit it today. As such, I do not believe that this will be fixed in Finale v.25. The separate-but-related issue of whether there should be configuration settings for the spacing of rest-attached augmentation dots (as opposed to note-attached) is not something that we have on our radar (to the best of my knowledge). If this is something that you think should be a feature in Finale, I would recommend that you submit this on our Feature Request page: https://makemusic.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/community/topics/200449177-Finale-Fea ture-Requests This page is set up to allow our customer base to submit new features for peer review and discussion. Our Product Management team can then review this information as a whole for each feature request, and determine an appropriate disposition. I am sorry that I don't have better news for you regarding this, but I hope this information helps. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns about this. Once again, my sincere apologies for misconstruing your initial question. I do hope that we are able to fix this issue in an upcoming release." _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] https://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale To unsubscribe from finale send a message to: [email protected]
