Re: [Finale] Plugin question
Hi JD, I understand the problem -- it's a problem I run into all the time. I just think you are vastly overestimating the time it would take to fix it, even with a very long score such as yours. It takes seconds to highlight the top string staff and press the metatool key you've assigned to Show Measure Numbers. I doubt it would take you more than half an hour to go through even a 270-page score and apply the style where necessary. It would take even less time if you already know (or even have a rough idea) which pages require this. Not that I'm saying you necessarily *should* do this -- if the client doesn't care, he doesn't care. I'm just saying, for future reference, this task isn't likely to take an unreasonable amount of time. - Darcy - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Brooklyn, NY On 16 Nov 2004, at 09:55 AM, JD wrote: on 11/15/04 10:38 PM, Darcy James Argue at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Then why the problem with using a staff style to force the measure no?

Re: [Finale] FINALE in two monitors
Same with a PC, or you can buy a second video card (probably needing a PCI one, as your primary one is likely to be using the AGP slot - this can be a much cheaper option). Either way, Windows should recognise it no problem, and you set them up in Display Properties. Make sure the PCI card is in the slot closest to the AGP slot, and try to get matching chipsets on the two cards to minimise problems that can arise. (Ask me for details if any of this is too full of jargon ;) ) As for using Finale, it's wonderful - I've got a maximised window showing almost nothing but the score, and the second monitor has all the toolbars floating, along with TGTools dialogs etc. The only problem is a small bug which causes the toolbars to reposition themselves onto the same monitor as the main window when you shut down and reload Finale, but it's only a slight annoyance having to reposition them. Having two monitors is great for other things, such as having Acrobat and Finale both running fullscreen alongside each other. Darcy James Argue wrote: Mac or PC?

Re: [Finale] FINALE in two monitors
I use not two, but 3(!) monitors on my Mac. The largest (and central) monitor displays my primary score file. The smallest displays tool pallettes and plugin dlgs. The middle-sized one displays a reference Finale file (such as a sketch file) or something else entirely, such as email. Windows is less amenable to this setup due to WinFin being an MDI app. That is, displaying two different Finale files on two different monitors entails enlarging the main Finale window to be so big it covers both monitors. This is unfortunate, because the cracks and crevices would be useful for accessing desktop icons, as they certainly are on Mac. Furthermore, it is a bit awkward. Dual monitors are a significant reason Makemusic should provide an SDI option for Finale. However, even on WinFin, plugin windows float free of the main Finale window, so it would certainly be possible to drag them independently to a different monitor. Tool palettes can work the same way as well, although you have to fight them to keep them from docking with the main window. ___ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

I also can hook up a second monitor to my laptop when necessary...highly recommend doing the multi monitor thing! You won't want to ever go back to one monitor! -K I have read some comments about the possibility of this. I have, however, been unable to find a definitive procedure. Can someone help me on this? ;-) -- Henry Howey, D.M.A. Professor of Music Sam Houston State University Box 2208 Huntsville, TX 77341 (936) 294-1364 http://www.shsu.edu/~music/faculty/howey.html Owner of FINALE Discussion List ___ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale -- Karen Guthery [EMAIL PROTECTED] ichat: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale ___ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale -- Karen Guthery [EMAIL PROTECTED] ichat: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
Re: [Finale] Back to EPS
When selecting an appropriate PS printer driver oneusually *still* has to set its output page sizes, so this is really notthe solution, either, he's looking for. Finale indeed seems to be more interested (as said by some in earlier posts not on this topic) in bells and whistles rather than in the correct functioning of this and other importantfeatures of the program (rudimentary ones, in my opinion). I've decided to stay withFinWin2003 until some *real* advances are made in the program. I know it means I have to continue nudging those*^%$! tuplet numbers, and have only one format option for extracting score pictures, and cuss a storm when I have large text blocks with various formatting to produce, and have to tweak color separations with addons to Acrobat, etc., etc... In the meantime I'm making a few dollars here and there doing conversions like the ones Collins wants, but I'd be pleased to lose that income as a tradeoff for regaining so much wasted time manipulating things.

Re: [Finale] Back to EPS
I'm amazed that such an important feature has been broken for so long and that no one seems to mind. I mind a lot, have tried every solution offered, wrote to MakeMusic, and am now forced to send files to a publisher as 600 dpi TIFs! It is just ridiculous. I hope that everyone will, one more time, write to MakeMusic. Richard Yates ___ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
[Finale] Part Extraction/Distance Between Systems
Greetings... I've been living with this forever, but I'm curious if maybe someday I won't have to... In extracting parts, I generally set the system margins for Top: 0 Left: 0 Right: 0 Bottom: 1 Distance Between Systems: 0 Invariably when I extract the parts at least one (and often several) parts are formatted with a number other than 0 for Distance Between Systems, so I have to go through those parts and change that back to 0. The question is why don't the parts generated follow the settings I've chosen. Using FinMac2004c.r1 on a PowerBook G4 running system 10.3.6. But this has been a feature I've been experiencing in previous versions as well. Any ideas? Thanks... ng ___ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

This could very well cause this to happen, while unchecking it (it's checked by default) *should* keep the settings you've defined. -- Brad Beyenhof [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://augmentedfourth.blogspot.com ___ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
