Re: [Finale] Straight line gliss to notes with accidentals

[Tim Cates]

I usually just treat it like a harp gliss and specify the scale above the 
gliss YMMV

Subject: [Finale] Straight line gliss to notes with accidentals

Hey all,

When using the straight line gliss, I usually like to have the line  
attach directly to the noteheads. But what if there's an intervening  
accidental that gets in the way? What's your preferred solution in  
this case? End the line before the accidental (although sometimes  
spacing is very tight and this would cause the gliss line to almost  
disappear)? Hide the "real" accidental and put it in as an  
articulation above the note? Or just live with the collision?

Cheers,

- Darcy

Subject: [Finale] Jazz Piano Instruction Book?

Hi, Everyone...


Just wondering if anyone here knows of a good jazz piano instructional book you 
could recommend?  I do already play piano, but am most interested in learning 
more about jazz techniques - especially jazz chords, etc.  Would appreciate any 
suggestions!


Also - does anyone by chance know if there's any way possible to get pen 
marking off of piano keys?!  A friend's child was over here and marked up my 
piano :(


Thanks!


Jacki

Re: [Finale] OT monitor rotation

[tim-cates]

in my system prefs - under monitors, there is a pop-up menu item for  
rotation (90, 180, or 270 degrees) - would that do the trick for you?  
- (i'm running 10.4.7 on a dual G5 tower with a 20" cinema display) -

Re: [Finale] Eyeglasses?

[tim-cates]

I see your point - I always taught students that any tempo alteration  
basically means the same to them - look up. I do use the eyeglasses  
from time to time in Finale if I'm doing a leadsheet and need to do  
something unusual to keep the number of pages at a minimum for my  
guitar players or woodwinds - eg. a simple verse, chorus, bridge tune  
that has an extension leading into the chorus that only happens the  
2nd time through - I'll include a text instruction to skip the  
measures (or whatever the specific problem is) when appropriate and  
the eyeglasses near the text to tip them off that there is something  
non-standard happening - then, of course, verbally tell them and walk  
them through in rehearsal...

I've never seen it in print.  It is a standard personal notation

U.S.), and as such it has no agreed-upon meaning.  You may use it  
to mean "look up," but I may use it to mean "watch out!"  (Which is  
exactly what I DO use it to mean, as a personal note to myself.)


Like any non-standard notation, feel free to use it, but don't  
expect everyone else to know how you intend for them to interpret  
it.  And any musician who isn't smart enough to look up and watch  
when a tempo change is marked (is it clearly marked?) has no  
business playing in a big band.

Hi folks,

Am I the only one who has seen the announcement of Finale 2006?   
There's usually a lot of discussion when these things are  
announced, and there seem to be some significant improvements  
(along with the usual bells and whistles), including what looks  
like a real improvement in control of mass copying behavior, much  
more flexibility and efficiency in dealing with libraries, and  
some help with graphic export (something I rarely use, but would  
if it were easier.  There's also integration with Garritan (nice  
for me, since I now seem to be a little part of that, and will  
certainly find use for the jazz sound samples), and improved  
Kontact integration (or so the PR seems to indicate).





They mention July 2005. I just got the email notice now. But when I  
tried to pre-order, Firefox kept telling me that the document  
contained no data. Safari works fine, though.


One thing, I noticed that Garritan Jazz and Big Band Collection is  
announced as well, on the check out page, at US$ 199.00. From the  
Garritan website it costs $259. I was hoping to get a reduction  
since I already own the Personal Orchestra, but it looks like  
Finale is the key to getting a discount.

Re: [Finale] It _is_ TOMATO! (was: C13)

[tim-cates]

However, in most pop music charts that I've seen (especially the 
Contemporary Christian genre) - G2 would be played as G-A-B-D (i.e. 
including the 3rd) - the sound you're talking about is most often seen 
as G2(no 3rd) in this arenaFWIW.

Hmm.  I see -- interesting.
So long as players know there's a fifth in "G2," I can see the 
usefulness of the symbol when it comes to notating alt bass chords 
concisely.

Re: [Finale] ot; the "launching pad"

[tim-cates]

the first thing that pops into my mind is a book called "Spiritual 
Lives of the Great Composers" by Patrick Kavanaugh (sp?) - there's also 
a book called "Heart of the Artist" by Rory Noland that covers some of 
this from a Christian perspective (though this one is more of a 
devotional book for artistic types) - TC

BTW, it's a different blend of inspiration/craft for all of us, IMHO - 
not trying to stir things up, just answering the question that was 
posed - TC

Re: [Finale] Chord symbol

my approach would be to write it as Bb13(#11) - or make up a score

side)

Re: [Finale] Layout question

[tim-cates]

large text repeats can also add to rehearsal time in the studio which 
costs money - D.S.,D.C. et.al. also has a tendency to create page noise 
in close microphone environments which will add time in post-production 
(not nearly as bad in the digital age, but still an issue) -top left to 
bottom right makes life easier in that kind of setting or any 
sight-reading environment - TC

I disagree.  In fact, missed or flubbed jumpers are the number one
