Re: [Finale] RE: Finale 2006 - MakeMusic's response
Wouldn't you think that fixes would come before features in a development cycle? Existing bugs, new bugs and new features are all addressed concurrently during the development cycle. When they start developing new features in an existing area of the program, they are often pulling open old code and fixing bugs. It makes a lot of sense to fix the bugs related to the area that you are developing in, since you are up to speed with that part of the program. With a program the size of Finale, there's a lot of relearning going on when opening up a part of the program that hasn't been worked with for a while. Tyler __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Re: [Finale] Plug-ins and Vintage.
Keith, I have a copy of Finale 2.6.3 that still works. I started with Finale 1.0 on a floppy disk. I may have the floppy around somewhere but no computer to run it on. Hal Owen Many thanks for viewpoints given on plug-ins. As a frivolous aside, I wonder who has the earliest version of Finale still in working order? By now it would be a bit like a 1948 Jaguar!- or would it? The earliest I know of was called -I think, 3.1. (Or was that Windows?) But I'm just a new (old) kid on the block! I didn't tap my first computer key till 1991! Cheers Keith in OZ Keith Helgesen. Director of Music, Canberra City Band. Ph: (02) 62910787.

More like, buy the car, then extra for the steering system! I reiterate, Tobias et al deserve every cent they get for their genius, but the current system really lets Finale off the hook. Back when the plug-ins came out, many of us said precisely the same thing, that it was a way to off-load development costs onto the backs of users who were able to get their heads around the plug-in developer's kit and who had the time and the inclination to improve the program's functionality. That the plug-in developers (some of them, anyway) feel they should get paid is perfectly understandable, as you say, and reasonable. That they should be paid by MakeMusic is also reasonable (some of them have been, since their plug-ins are included in recent versions) since they have done development that MakeMusic didn't pay their developpers to do. As a matter of fact, to the best of my understanding, they have fewer developpers working on Finale than they did before the plug-ins were added. But don't think the program isn't very usable without the extra plug-ins (such as the full TGTools, a lite version is included) - because it certainly is very usable with only the included plug-ins. The plug-ins you can buy really are like the after-market stereos, dvd players, dual exhaust headers, air scoop, which (depending on your needs and wishes) makes your car more comfortable or more fancy or faster, slicker, whatever. But just as you can buy and drive very adequately a car with the fewest add-ons, right off the lot, so, too, you can use Finale without paying for the full Patterson plug-ins or the full TGTools. I own them both and my notational needs have me using them maybe once or twice every three or four months. And if you are able to fulfill your notational needs with Finale2001, there's no need to upgrade ever. Just the same way that if your 10 year old car without the high-performance wheels or heated leather seats is still able to get you where you want to go, you don't have to buy a new car every year the way the auto makers hope you will. -- David H.

Re: [Finale] Plug-ins and Vintage.
I have a copy of Finale 2.6.3 that still works. I started with Finale 1.0 on a floppy disk. I may have the floppy around somewhere but no computer to run it on. I have files from the one before the one with the spiral bound manuals. Which was that? (I also cannot currently open them because they are on floppy and I have no floppy drive.)

Re: [Finale] Re: OT: OSX mass print to PDF
Just did a test of this using OS 10.4.1 and FinMac 2005b... My first experiment using Automator Created a Workflow for Finder consisting of 1. Get Specified Finder Items 2. Print Finder Items In the window for #1, I clicked on the + button, which called up a dialogue box to allow me to select files (dragging files also worked). When I clicked on Run I got a dialogue box asking to confirm the printer I wanted to use, then a normal print dialogue box. Ran it twice, once choosing Print, which quickly (and batch-ly) printed the docs I had requested, the other time choosing PDF, which quickly (and batch-ly) created .PDFs of the docs I had requested. Seems to work like a charm. ng ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
Re: [Finale] Re: OT: OSX mass print to PDF
simon, what is the difference exactly in output between printing directly to PDF (using acrobat, not OSX) and compiling PS and distilling? what are the (dis)advantages of each? For one thing, the number of available options that Disiller allows, you can really fine tune your PDFs for print, screen or the web. I also find that the menu navigation is easier for a macro program like Quickeys, if you make a PDF by going through the print menu there are quite a few more menu selections involved, so I just zip through the compile postscript menu and the rest of the job is handled on another machine, freeing up my main computer, my old G4 is a whole Distiller server, packager and FTP suite just waiting for files to be sent. I have the whole Adobe Creative Suite anyway from having to make so many books (we've moved from Quark to the vastly superior Indesign), and because for quite a few things you need to be able to open EPS files in illustrator to finish the job off (a really handy program that I've relied on for years!). I'm not sure I'd go out and buy Acrobat or recommend that you do so unless you have a VERY good reason, it's pricey and for most scenarios I'm sure the OSX PDFs are fine. or me though it was just like an extra in the Adobe CS box!

[Finale] Re: OT: OSX mass print to PDF
Brad, I just tried to batch print via Finalescript making sure it was printing to Adobe PDF as opposed to my printer and it seemed to create two separate PDF files and put them on the desktop. I'm gonna have to remember this one...hope this helps. -Rob In Finalescript, there's a ready-made script called Batch printing. I know and use this one quite a bit, but I haven't been able to make it work for PDF printing in OSX. I don't know about Macs, but in Windows, printing to PDF is the same as printing to any other printer. I've done hundreds of files this way (music examples for a book). Ah, so you *are* on Windows. Mac PDF printing is a bit trickier than that. Have any Mac users on the list been able to print multiple PDFs in one go?
