Re: [Finale] OS X 10.4 Tiger
I haven't timed the exact duration of eps. export, but I've seen it take around 8-10 seconds per page on big scores. About 4-5 seconds is what I estimate it takes for normal sized music.

I went back and performed an EPS export on the same file. Here are my results: I page, about 2 seconds. It was hard to time it accurately, as I am sure I was seeing some screen work as well. All 37 pages, about 58 seconds. It would appear that the EPS export is indeed the heavy lifting, whereas the PDF creation is comparatively quicker. Hope this compares favourably.

Richard Yates Finale for Windows 2005 Aw, that sounded so pathetic; I feel really bad for you guys. So bad, in fact, that I will make you an offer. If you are really stuck and need EPS output, you can send me the file, and I will export a Postscript file for you on FinMac 2005 and send it back. You would have to tell me the page size and orientation, I think. The only thing that might snag me is if you have custom fonts, so we would have to watch out for that. The offer would also be dependent on my availability, so count on up to a couple of days turnaround. We can try a test on one file first, to make sure everything works. You can buy me a beer if I ever come to your town. I could do the same thing with PDFs, but I have my doubts about Finale's PDF output. I haven't gotten any complaints yet (in fact, everyone raves about how easy and beautiful it is to get parts from me this way) but I suspect that some PDF's are fuzzier than Finale's direct printer output. Does anyone have any info about that possibility? Christopher ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

I emailed MM in July of 2004 about these long export times (EPS export was very fast in previous versions of Finale under OS 9), and they replied: Finale 2004 in general will be slower number 1 because it is under OSX (a more processor-intensive operating system to begin with), as well as the fact that it is not yet fully optimized for OSX having just been ported over from OS9 code (dating back over 14 years ago!). I did everything they suggested, but it did not speed up export times. I just hope a dual-2.5 GHz Power Mac G5 with Finale 2005 or 2006 will perform EPS exports at a decent speed without that stupid font warning window (fixed in Fin05, I hope).

[Finale] Exporting eps
Paul Hayden askes: How long does it take you gentlemen to export one page from a score or part? I use eps export for everything I do in Finale. I use a G4 powerbook, 1.33ghz, OS 10.3.8, 1.5 gb ram. It takes me seven seconds to export a single page (I just tried it). I usually don't get the annoying font boxes. It used to be faster -- there is now a 6 second hesitation before the dialog box comes up, but once that comes up, the process is about a second. So I am not particularly troubled about exporting eps files for a 40-50 page score, which takes less than 4 minutes total.

Re: [Finale] OT: %$@*!! Word
Eh, you just owe me for the five minutes it took me to refine my Google search to 'remove PDF Maker toolbar os-x'. By the way, that search incorporated my two favorite little-known Google tricks (this thread is OT, so I can talk about whatever I want! :-P): 1. Adding a hyphen between terms (as in os-x) searches for the terms both together and separate (i.e. both osx and os x are found). Since there is little regularity across the Internet in whether to spell OSX with a space, I find this trick invaluable when looking for info about the Mac operating system and other sometimes-compound words. 2. Reordering words. I originally had remove at the end of the search string since I added it late in the tweaking, but the order of the search terms defines what bits of the page are displayed below the page title (usually only the first three words or so get shown in that preview). By keeping the most important terms at the beginning, I can pre-screen my results for applicability by looking at the context in which these words are used.

Re: [Finale] Incorrectly Printing Articulation (?)
PS On reflection, since you say the inverted A is beside both notes it's unlikely to be an articulation -- only one instance would appear in that case -- so unless my earlier suggestion of O for open string is wrong it must me something else that applies to each of the two notes. Such as an unorthodox accidental? It's hard to think of something that would need to be applied to each note as opposed to the pair of them. John On 23 Mar 2005, at 03:59, Neal Gittleman wrote: Hi... Question for those way more font-knowledgable than me... I'm trying to extrapolate something in a score which may or not have been printed in Finale (I suspect maybe not). There's a pizzicato note (violin double-stop A-E -- open string A and E) that has to the left of each note an upside-down capital letter A. I suspect it's some kind of articulation symbol that hasn't been properly rendered by the printer.

My son-in-law was smart enough to get it operable for me in OSX Classic, so I can (for the moment) still access hundreds of my scores, but soon I'll inevitably lose them. Dennis' fear of losing access to Finale is NOT paranoid! If Dennis' fear was losing access to Sibelius, his fear would not be paranoid, as S~ keeps the data file structure proprietary information. Finale has made the data file structure open, which is why not only can S~ read ~.etf files, but they can be converted to Lilypond, as well. The ability of Finale to write ~.etf, and the fact that file structures are open, is why I consider Dennis' fear of losing access to the data in ~.etf files, to be, is if not paranoid, at least coming very close to it. If one uses ~.etf as the primary storage format for Finale data files, one will not lose access to the data in the files. As far as I can tell, neither Sibelius, nor the other competitors of Finale provide the same capability. ns ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
