[Finale] FinMac 2006c copying behaviour between files
Thought this might be useful to anyone trying to decipher the new copying behaviour when you try to copy things from other documents. I thought it was so great, but there are still problems. I was reconstituting the score that I lost from the File Overwrite bug bite, when I realised that none of the double bars, nor the repeats, were copying to the new document. I tried just about everything except clip files (drag and drop doesn't even work any more between documents, as it did in Fin 2005) various setting of command-C, command-V, but nothing I did could get those things to copy. According to tech support, there are some things that will not copy between documents. Hit (on Mac) command-shift-V when pasting to find out exactly will or will not copy. Most of the Measure items are greyed out, totally unavailable, though all Entry Items except Tuplet Definitions are copyable. Available Measure Items are: Measure Expressions Note Positioning Smart Shapes (assigned to measures) Split Points Staff Styles and of course the clef copying option still works. This means, no repeats, no barlines, no key sigs, no measure regions (it doesn't exclude them specifically, but I gleaned that), no measure-attached text blocks, no time signatures, among other items that I didn't think were so important. So we still need clip files. The old system of copying to a clip file (Mac opt-cmd-C), then INSERTING from a clip file (Mac opt-cmd-I) before a selected measure DOES copy all those items we are missing. I haven't done an exhaustive test, but barlines and repeats worked, and nothing was out of the ordinary that I could see with a cursory glance.

Re: [Finale] Midi problems with 2006c
Thanks for your input Hiro! I think you're right, it's not a Finale issue. I seem to have had midi problems ever since they did away with serial ports. When I got my latest computer ( powermac G4 laptop, with no serial ports) I tried to use my Fatar controller with a midiman, midi to usb, and could never get it to work. So I purchased a usb keyboard. (M-Audio Radium 49) on which I do use the power cord and I plug the usb straight into the computer, no hub. Though I need to get one. Being computer illiterate I don't know what host CPU is! I'll see if there's a newer driver. I did get it to work yesterday by fiddling with the midi/select controls on the Radium, god knows which ones , I kept pressing the reset and midi channel keys. But sure enough this morning, same thing. Nothing un-plugged or changed and yet it didn't work. Took me another 1/2 hr of fiddling and presto there it was. But it seems like a very un-scientific method. Should I get a better keyboard?

I've never been bitten by this bug (I'm on 2K5), and crashes and other problems rarely take out much but the last few minutes of my work -- because I always follow Dennis's Safe Practices and I really, really, really, REALLY recommend them. :) It may seem like extra steps, but I don't recall having to recover a damaged Finale file since a giant screwup in the file structure in of a long piece back in 1994. (I had to go into the ETF version and hunt down the sequence of measure entries. Very much not fun!) So I follow these rules... 1. Turn a program's automated backup OFF. 2. Turn a program's backup-when-saving ON (not necessary, but a stupidity-safeguard). 3. Create my first file of a project with 001 in the name (such as HighBirds 001.mus or RFID Predictions for 2006-001.doc). 4. At every thought-pause, do a Save As..., incrementing the filename by 1. (The thought-pause save is second nature now. In 11 keystrokes*, I've created a safe harbor for my work -- and a running history if it's something I'm composing.) 5. Save all documents, exit the program, and restart it. 6. Re-open the document and Save As..., incrementing the filename by 1. In Finale, I add these additional safeguards: 1. At every major revision or addition point, do a Data Check for deleted items and document integrity. 2. Then Save as... under the next incremented name. 3. At every major stopping point (dinner, sleep, Scotch), exit Finale and delete everything in the TEMP directory. 4. When extracting parts, immediately save the parts and score under new names (not just Finale's names), exit the program, and re-open everything to begin actual work. (Nightly I back up to an X-drive as well, operating system, programs, and all my document files.) None of this takes more time then lifting the cup of coffee that's always on my desk, nor getting another cup. But right now I'm starting a backup because we have heavy rain high water. Ouch.

I use an undelete program that runs in the background, and protects all deleted files on my computer from overwrite until a certain amount of space has been used up on each drive volumne. I also see no point whatsoever with Finale in turning off the automatic backups (unless you're annoyed by the interruptions), since it does not endanger your data at all, since it saves under a different file name, not to the existing filename. The result is that I have 3 complete runs of all versions of my file, the Autosave version, the backup version and the main MUS file version. If the one for the time that I'm trying to roll back to lacks information, it is likely in one of the other two versions. I cannot recommend this kind of software strongly enough. It does what computer software *ought* to do -- performs a task for you so that you don't have to worry about it. I use Executive Software Undelete, which was bought by Diskeeper in the last year or so. Norton/Symantec used to have a protected recycle bin but I found it not as useful as the undelete software I'm using now, and came with all the problems that Norton/Symantec software tends to have (a real drag on system performance, multiple software dependencies). Again, I just can't see why anyone would choose to do this manually. I certainly have my own manual backkup procedures, but it always seems that I forget to do them right before something catastrophic happens. Undelete software protects you from your own mistakes while also eliminating the extra work of maintaing the history yourself. It also releases the disk space back for use according to your own settings, whereas Dennis's method requires manual intervention to clean out the no-longer-needed incremental versions when a project is completed. I just can't see why anyone would not see the virtue in such a system. It's saved my bacon many times, and requires no thought or extra effort on my part. The only caveat is that I've found that after a few years of use, it needs to be re-initialized, or your system can drag to a halt maintaining all the ancient undeletion information. -- David W.

Re: [Finale] O.T. Inkjet printer recommendations?
I have a Canon Pixma iP4000 and am very pleased with it. Its score and parts output is fine -- not anythingextraordinary, but for an inkjet I'm very pleased. The carts are prettyinexpensive and the color carts are individually replaceable, which is a nice plusand the speed is GREAT! My previous most-used printer was an HP (Photosmart 1215) and it was very unreliable - among other problems, the connection was constantly (and suddenly) lost. I replaced the cablemore than once but the problem never changed.The only solution was to restart the computer and that would be a little annoying if in the middle of a large job. And after another part or two, the same problem might emerge. Changed drivers. No solution. When I upgraded to XP Pro, the HP 1215 began to have a number of erratic problems and even after I found and downloaded a new driver claimed to be the solution by HP, things only got worse. I ultimately found many references (though apochryphal)which perfectly described all the symptoms of my troubles. The upshot of all the references was that the HP 1215 - though a relatively recent model - in many cases simply was incompatiblewith XP. Whether it was a decent printer aside from the ongoing battles between it and the OS: dunno. I replaced it with the absolutely trouble-free Canon and have been really happy with the results.

One last word on this subject. In my experiences, both Canon and Epson support for Mac is not as good as HP. My ancient HP 5MP is still kicking on both Mac and Win. Epson 850N, which I paid a lot for Ethernet capability, doesn't have Tiger driver, and they don't care. Canon ip3000 Mac problem, we received poor support. When I complained HP not releasing OSX driver for my scanner, they sent me a new model for exchange at no cost. I was deeply impressed. -- - Hiro Hiroaki Honshuku, A-NO-NE Music, Boston, MA http://a-no-ne.com http://anonemusic.com ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
