Re: [Finale] TOOL BAR
Hi Kim, Darcy is right. I just tried it and it works great. Get your toolbar set up the way you want it. Hold down the option key and go to ViewProgram Tool SetToolset 1. Now go back to the view menu without holding option down and choose Select Toolset Toolset 1. Then, as Darcy said, save your prefs. Your programmed toolset should come up and stay after you quit and restart Finale. Thanks Darcy. I have used Program and Select staff set before but never this. -K Kim, Read my last message. PROGRAM.

I want to break a beam that contains sixteenth notes. I want the eight flag to carry over, but not the sixteenth.

[Finale] Re: TOOL BAR
Well, it worked part way. The order of tools that I set in the Tool Bar was preserved, but it went back the Tool Bar went back to its default position of 3 columns on the upper left. Here's how I would like to have it: Contemporary palette, one horizontal column across top of screen. My workaround is to change the palette to Classic, drag the Tool Bar (after some finagling) to one horizontal column across top, then change it back to Contemporary. So thank you Darcy and Karen for the method in which to keep the specified order. Now if only the other could be accomplished.

Re: [Finale] Re: TOOL BAR
Kim, I don't understand why you are still having trouble. Finale has no trouble keeping track of any custom toolbar alignment and layout. The palette style (Classic vs. Contemporary) should not be relevant. I tried doing exactly what you said you wanted to do -- make the toolbar a single horizontal row across the top -- and saving that configuration, and it works just fine. Here are my steps: 1) Set up the palette exactly the way you want it (including order of tools and alignment). 2) Program this as Tool Set 1. 3) Make sure Tool Set 1 is selected in the View Menu. 4) Save preferences. 5) Quit and relaunch Finale. The toolbar alignment remained exactly the way I set it up. If this doesn't work for you, perhaps your Finale preferences have been corrupted. - Darcy - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Brooklyn, NY On 21 Oct 2004, at 04:12 PM, Kim Richmond wrote: Well, it worked part way.

Re: [Finale] keyboard shortcuts
Hi Stig, I'm a fan of QuickeysI think Brad had a link in one of his previous posts on this topic that has a lot of good ideas. It took a bit to reprogram my shortcuts from OS 9 to OS X because the program is much different in OS X. But I'm very happy with the most recent version of Quickeys. I have a keyboard overlay that I created to go on my F keys. I have three rows of shortcuts programmed on my F keys. No modifiers used for the first row except that I have avoided programming the keys that Expose uses. Then another two more rows with modifier. (i.e. F1, opt-F1, ctrl-F1) the overlay serves as a cheat sheet. I have the Finale tool palate programmed on the F keys so it is really fast to switch between tools. There are also shortcuts that I programmed using regular key commands that I assigned to something I could remember easily...for example, my File Info is programmed to opt-F. It took some time to do all of this but it pays off greatly in speed while working with Finale.

Many of us use macro programs to create menu shortcuts in Finale, or entire processes. Maybe you have scripts post process your files.

Re: [Finale] Drum Patterns
Hi Ben, If your bass part is already on it's own staff, then you just have to move it to a different layer. By default, Layer 1 Stems are up and Layer 2 Stems are down. So if you move your bass part to layer 2 (Mass EditMove Copy Layer) and then cut and paste that part into your drum part staff, the stems will go the way you want them to. You can set your layers up any way you want though in OptionsDocument Settings and then click on Layers in the window on the left. If your drum part is all on one staff you'll need to use either Mass EditUtilitiesExplode Music or one of the utilities in TG Tools (if you have TGtools...it is a wonderful third party set of plug-ins) TG ToolsParts...there are a bunch of great tools in here that will do amazing things (thanks Tobias!!! :-) including specifying ranges of notes to filter out during the explosion. This will allow you to split the different instruments out so you can work with them better. Implode music is also sometimes handy if you need to merge two separate parts back onto one staff in the same layer. I sometimes split everything out on to it's own staff using explode parts to quickly change noteheads for say the high-hat and cymbal parts to x's Then I use implode music to put the high hat, cymbals and snare back together in the same layer on the same staff. Finale will sort it out so that everything is clean as far as the stems go. There is another great way to use Explode Music. Lets say you want to just keep the bottom note of a multi note part. You could set Explode Music up this way: Split into 1 staff Explode Direction: Bottom up (you can also use top Down to get rid of all but the top note) Extra notes: Discard Place Music Into: Existing Staves Starting with (the staff you are working on) This will leave only the bottom note of your drum part. You may have a little cleaning up to do but I use this a lot too. You'll have to experiment to see what will work best for you. There are many, many different ways to handle your project. I must admit...this is one of my favorite things to do in Finale!! Best, Karen Hi There. I'm working on a job that i did in sonar and converted to a midi then imported into Finale.
