[Finale] RE: MIDI File Output Problem
On Thu, 20 May 2004 17:38 David Fenton commented: The problem occurs in 3rd full measure of the score -- the 4th beat quarter note of the right hand of the piano is chopped off when I play it through WMP, iTunes or QuickTime player, and not through my other sequencers (I even re-imported the MIDI file back into Finale to see what it would do with it, and it came out fine). Does anyone else hear this? If so, can anyone see what the problem might be? - I for one can't hear any difference from the last beat of the previous measure. I'm running WMP 9 through a Yamaha XG sound card on a Win98SE system. Sorry, I don't have any suggestions about the nature of the problem.

Re: [Finale] Beaming question
Dennis Collins writes: I have a 17th-century piece for three instruments and basso continuo where the continuo part actually doubles whatever happens to be the lowest of the three parts. Which means there are quite a few clef changes when it switches from a treble instrument to a bass instrument. Quite often, this change happens after the first of four 8th notes. I'm wondering if it would be better to leave the four notes beamed together, or to break the beam after the first note at the clef change (where the doubled instrument changes). I'd be happy to have your opinions. Dear Dennis, IMHO, If I were playing from a single-line continuo part with figures, I think I would prefer to keep the 4 notes beamed together. In addition, unless it involved many ledger lines, I would prefer most of the part to appear in the bass clef. If you plan to include a written-out realization of the continuo part, you might possibly want to put the higher notes up into the treble clef (right-hand part). Either a flag and three eighths beamed or 4 eighths beamed would be OK by me.

Well, I found out that if I just saved the file in my sequencer, the problem went away. And I did this and posted this file over top of the old one with the problem. So, it was something about the MIDI that Finale was writing, but I haven't a clue what it was. I'm not going to worry about it for now, but it does tell me that I've discovered yet another lurking deficiency in Finale. -- David W.

I'd be happy to have your opinions. Break the beam. Two reasons: 1. it will be easier to read 2. the broken beam will suggest phrasing that is most likely going to be highly appropriate for a change of register of that extent. -- David W.
