Hi Johannes, I've heard that rumor repeated frequently, but so far I've seen no official mention of it from Apple. Have you? If not, I guess we'll find out for sure in a few weeks! - Darcy - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Brooklyn, NY On 20 Apr 2005, at 2:26 AM, Johannes Gebauer wrote: Apparently screen rotation is going to be a feature of Tiger.

[Finale] Sorry, a bit long - Weird behaviour making PDF's with Adobe Pro
I'm using the team Finale 2003 + Jaws PDF Creator without problems so far (I mostly use Mr. Sigler's Swing font) Days ago I was at a friend home. He has the same OS as mine (Win2000 Pro), Finale 2003, Swing font and Adobe Pro 6. He never uses Finale to PDF transformation. We made a file in Finale and sent to Adobe Printer Driver to make it a PDF to send via e-mail to a pair of musicians to which I usually send PDF's made with Jaws that they normally can read and print (they both do not have Finale installed). These musician received the file, tried to open it with Adobe Reader and got a message Swing font missing? At home I did the same thing with my system using Jaws and they could read the file in Adobe What's happening? Isn't it a bug in Adobe Printer Driver? I think this could affect also all files created with several applications (Word, Excel and so on) which could sort the same problem. Is there some Adobe guru who can explain this? Once I thought to get Adobe Pro but if these are the results I will stay away from it! Thanks to all for very useful advices. marcello ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

Without that option checked, the program has to find any fonts on the reader's system. -- David H.

I am not that sure, because there is no reference of it anywhere in Tiger's feature set. Le 05-04-20, à 02:26, Johannes Gebauer a écrit : Apparently screen rotation is going to be a feature of Tiger.

For you screen rotation on Mac OS X wannabeez: Another take might be that of the company EIZO. They have a new monitor that takes care of the screen rotation for you, sort of... http://www.eizo.org/product.asp?id=105 http://www.eizo.com/support/compatibility/lcd/16.asp#3 I don't know the price tag for this baby, but maybe you would like to take a look... cheers LAC At 00.56 -0400 05-04-20 a wise man wrote: [Don't look at me, I have no idea.

Re: [Finale] the copyist's job (was clef changes or something similar...)
At 4:37 PM -0400 4/19/05, shirling neueweise wrote: From: Andrew Stiller In my experience, the vast majority of copyists regard it as their duty to literally copy exactly what they find in the score when extracting parts. There are many places where a composer changes clefs merely to save vertical space in the score, and you will never see those changes overridden by the copyist. nope not here, and in fact, my clients repeatedly commend me on the more efficient solutions i have to notation issues, and i have previous clients who return to me despite having had offers lower than what i am able to offer and insist that i am the person they need for the job, precisely because of my attention to detail and my expertise in notation. Both views are correct, but describe different relationships. The default relationship is generally as Andrew describes, the copyist hired to, well, copy! The other is actually a composer-editor/engraver relationship, and as SN points out, depends on knowing one another and respecting one another. The latter should, of course, pay more, because the client is buying additional highly-skilled professional services above and beyond simple copying. Isn't there an additional kind of relationship, especially in the culture of corporate creativity on Broadway or in Hollywood, where the orchestrator produces a condensed score and the copyist (generally a composition major trying to break into the business!) actually decides which saxes get which notes? Or is that no longer the case?

Re: [Finale] FWIW: Feature suggestion
Matthew Hindson Fastmail Account wrote: For what it's worth, here's a feature request I've sent to Makemusic: that we be able to enter hairpins from within the Expression tool. The process of entering dynamics with occurrences of dynamics-text and hairpins requires changing the tool all the time: if there were Expression metatools that were linked to the Smart Shapes (say and ) it would save a lot of mousing around. Particularly since technically, there's supposed to be a dynamic marking before and after each hairpin anyway. David Bailey wrote: I don't have any problem with that, but I disagree that technically there's supposed to be a dynamic marking before and after each hairpin anyway -- I've seen countless examples where crescendo/decrescendo pairs are in the music with no dynamic marks within measures of them. Sure - perhaps I should have put placed it in the context of contemporary music. I'm sure we've all been in countless rehearsals where the conductor or player asks what should the dim. go to. Even if you would think it's obvious from the surrounding musical context. I would hope that if they were to link them in such a way, that they would still be available in the smart-shapes menu as well. But there are already hairpins you can enter in the shape expressions, and if you enter them with metatools, they're individually editable, too. Yes but these don't break automatically over systems, don't have the line width able to be set from the Smart Shapes menu etc. What I would like to see instituted would be a user-definable set of metatools which would allow us to combine things from all the various tools as we see fit, so that we could set up our own work-spaces, and define some metatools from smartshapes, some from the expressions tool, articulations, transpositions, whatever. I can't think of an appropriate key combination to trigger such a thing, but I think it would be a terrific time saver for each of us to figure out what we use most often and have it at our finger-tips. Agreed, this would be a marvellous solution. Not that I necessarily trust Makemusic to implement such a thing in the best possible way, but it would be great.
