Okay - now I did a search on merging music and nothing came up either! I did find merging music in the index, but when I click on it, it takes me to something called imploding music which doesn't sound like what I'm doing (everything I have is on a single staff already) - and I can't find anything about actually merging when pasting If you could point me to the right page of the manual I'll be happy to look it up! BTW, I'm using Fin-Mac 2005b... Implode is what you want. You will have to create a new dummy staff which will be deleted afterward directly under the target staff. Let's call the earlier passage A and the later passage B. Copy A to the dummy staff so that it is aligned with B. Select B and the A directly underneath it with Mass Edit. Hit 1 (or select Implode from the menu). Delete the dummy staff. Done. Now, if the two passages have different rhythms and you need to preserve them in different layers, you proceed a little differently. You wouldn't even have to create a dummy staff, but change the lower passage (lets say A) to Layer 2. Select Show active layer only from the menu. Drag A and drop over where B is. Turn off Show Active Layer. Done. Christopher ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

Why have two such settings in the Measure Tool but leave the third such setting in the clef tool? Yes, there is a reason: Those settings in the measure attributes work on every staff for that particular measure. The clef setting works on every staff seperately, and it needs to, too. So this is actually the only way to do it. Also, the clef tool allows to define the size of the clef individually, which is neither possible nor necessary for time and key sigs. However, as we already found out, this doesn't solve the problem of having all three shown, as though it was the beginning of the system, as it may be needed for excercises etc. -- http://www.musikmanufaktur.com http://www.camerata-berolinensis.de ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

Re: [Finale] Keychange within a repeat
Depending where you are in the formatting process -- once you set the score just create staff expressions and place them y'rself. I find the measure mapping more trouble (remembering that it exists-mostly) than it's worth. Jerry Gerald Berg On 6-May-06, at 9:08 PM, Noel Stoutenburg wrote: Wolf Wrobel wrote: Hi there! I am trying to get warning accidentals in the first ending of my repeat. The repeat is in D and the measure one is supposed to jump to, is in F. The second ending (so the one right after the first ending) is also in D. How do I do that. The manual is not very helpful there. Dummy measure? But then the accidentals appear right of the repeat bar and not left of it. Yes. I think the simplest way is to add a dummy measure. But I'd put the repeat sign at the end of the dummy measure, and the only thing in it would be the change of key, and repeat. You can hide the barline just ahead of the dummy measure by defining it as invisible. ns ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
[Finale] Figured bass numbers and dynamic marks ...
I usually add dynamic marks last to a document. Well I discovered that the dynamic marks collided with the bass figures. At first I tried to manually adjust the dynamics, but I didn't like how irregular the placement was. So then, I opted to lower the figured bass numbers a few notches, to allow normal placement of the dynamic marks. Which gives things a more consistent look, except now, the figures are a wee bit low. Thanks to a suggestion of the list, I changed the dynamics to *note* position, which was a big help. Just was wondering if this looks ok. Here's a screenshot:http://www.bytenet.net/kpclow/finale/dynamics-figured.jpg Thank you Kim Patrick Clow ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
[Finale] 'Del Signo' repeat in Finale
I have a dance style movement that has AABBCC structure then it's supposed to repeat the AA section. Even though the score doesn't have a 'Del Signo' mark, that's obviously what's meant. Whats the keystroke for getting Finale to notate this? Thanks Kim Patrick Clow ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

I think the term you're looking for is Dal Segno, but in any case a repeat to the beginning would not be indicated by D.S. but by D.C., Da Capo.

It makes sense when you notice that there is an explode function for splitting chords into separate parts - the opposite would be Implode. TG Tools has a fantastically smart exploder - includes unisons, octaves, asks what note you want doubled when there aren't enough, strips out I., II. Solo and the like. Too bad his tools don't have an equivalently intelligent Implode as well. Finale DOES have a merge - it's under the Note Mover Tool, but you can only do it up to a measure at at time. For more than that, you want Implode. Christopher ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
