 Hi!

 Is there more resources around learning Finale like tutorials and 
 videos. Would be interesting if lessons are combined with examples 
 how different arrangements should look like in different situations.

 Best.

 Mike,

 Do you have my tutorials for Finale 2004?

[Finale] Optimizing Complex Option

2004-09-24 Thread Giovanni Andreani
Has anyone came into this and eventually found a solution?
There's, let's say, a system with three staffs: staff 1 for clarinet and
staff 2 and 3 grouped for piano.
There's a system where the clarinet don't play and where the piano plays
a melody written on the bottom staff (staff 3); these notes have to be
played by both hands so some of them have been moved to the upper staff
(staff 2) with the Note Mover Tool.
Now, when it comes to optimize, staff #2 disappears as well as #1. Is
there any way I can set to maintain staff #2 visible while optimizing
without adding invisible notes or else?

Thank you
Giovanni Andreani

Giovanni,

I believe there is a setting for each staff in the staff attributes dialog (Staff Tool) which can prevent optimization for any staff, if you choose that option.  You can choose that option for staff #2 or, when in the process of optimizing the staves, you can choose to have Finale ask you whether or not you want individual staves eliminated or kept.  Either of these methods should work.

Sounds like a job for... TGTools!

(TGTools  Layout  Staff List Manager can hide/show individual staves
from optimized systems)

You can also optimize, telling Finale to keep all staves. Then click the
staff tool, select the *bottom* staff handle and hit delete.

 Oh yeah... and you can also set the Piano group to Only Remove if All
 Staves Empty. It's in the Group Attributes dialog.

Re: [Finale] Finale + Garritan Personal Orchestra

2004-09-24 Thread Raymond Horton
I'm anxiously awaiting the delivery of my order of GPO. 

Jari Williamsson wrote:
* The Expression Hairpin Emphasis setting in HP conflicts with 
GPO, as I see it. This setting does 2 things - controls the dynamic 
range of hairpin+hairpin situations (such as ), and it also controls 
the volume expression on long notes.
The latter is good for flat samples, such as the one included in the 
SoftSynth - but since GPO includes its own expression in the 
samples themselves, this can produce absurd-sounding results 
when used with GPO. This HP preference setting should IMO 
absolutely be separated into 2 different ones!

 

Would you please elaborate on this?  What is the practical solution for 
a FinWin2005 Human Playback GPO user?  For a playback-only version of 
the file, do not use hairpins, use letter dynamics only?

Thanks,
Raymond Horton

Normally this would not be a problem because you would need to remove 
the default measure rests from the staff that receives notes from 
another staff. In such a case, I enter a real whole rest, then hide 
it, then copy that measure to similar ones. When you optimize, Finale 
will detect the hidden entries in that staff and retain it

Hope this helps.

[Finale] Finale + Garritan Personal Orchestra

2004-09-24 Thread David Froom
Are there any GPO users who also use (or have used) Reason, in particular
with Reason's included Orkester CD?  Is it substantially better? Or just
different?  And with Finale only or in conjunction with another program
(say, a real sequencer like MOTU Performer)?

I would greatly appreciate the sharing of any wisdom from your experience.

[Finale] Sending a new midi patch

2004-09-24 Thread George Boziwick
Dear Finale List:
I have a piece that includes violin and cello, each on its own midi 
channel.  For the first part of the piece the strings are playing with the 
bow.  At some point I'd like them to play pizzicato and then later back to 
arco.  Can I send a midi patch that will change the sound from a bowed 
sound  to a pizz sound, and then at some point back to an arco sound?
Please direct me to the manual if necessary, but I didn't see anything 
there that made it clear to me if such a thing was possible while each 
instrument was using a single midi channel.
I hope my request is clear.
As always thanks for the great assistance.
