Robert, I need your advice. I'm in the process of completing a 200 song compendium using Finale 2014.5 When it is finished, (I promised it would be ready "early" in 2017), I'll need to merge the individual charts for a single document. This is for the sole use of a retirement community, but they'll need about 100 copies. I believe I have volunteers who will fund the printing, but I need to get good copy.
Now, is Finale 25 good enough to undertake this task, or should I finish it with Finale 2014.5? Either way, I'm afraid it will be a real chore. If all else fails, I'll have to print 200 separate charts and collate them. This will be hard because I need to print most pages "back-to-back" to keep the total size less than an unabridged dictionary. Your advice would be gratefully appreciated.

It fails to copy lyric baseline adjustments (and I would guess probably expression baseline adjustments as well). 2. It idiotically goes nuts if a bar has too many beats (like a hard whole rest in a 2/4 bar, which is frequently required for L1/L2 parts). 3. It makes a mess of lyric text. 4. It doesn't know how to create percussion staves that match the source file, so percussion is a mess. Does anyone know a better way? _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu https://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale To unsubscribe from finale send a message to: finale-unsubscr...@shsu.edu _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu https://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale To unsubscribe from finale send a message to: finale-unsubscr...@shsu.edu
