Hi Dennis, I haven't heard this, but I will keep my ears open. There should be enough of us on this list so that someone might stumble across the ad and either know the piece or be able to offer an educated opinion on its origin. Chuck BTW, I sent the post from that Italian composer who had lost her copyist to my engraver friend in Vancouver, Greg Hamilton (I like his work a lot), who seems to have landed some work from her as a result. Nice resource this list, and it was fun to be able to connect people through it.

Hi all, Is there an online directory of television and commercial theme music? My searches always dead-end.

Re: [Finale] Hyperscribe - - annoying latency
Slightly off the current thread, but my two cents on the subject. I'm finding that with Finale2007 (windows) that hyperscribe is far more sensitive than it was with previous versions. Playing in the same exact piece, as close to exactly as I did before, results in nothing more than a mess on the screen. Frequently the downbeats are off by a 1/16 and even when I hold the note down the full value, I end up with a much shorter value than I intended. I'm using an external keyboard for playback and entry, so I don't think latency is the issue. I also find in speedy entry when step entering music (using the caps lock option to input the same note values) I get inconsistent results when playing chords. Instead of the 3 notes showing up on one beat, I get two on one and one on the other, even when playing all 3 notes precisely at the same time. I never had this problem with previous versions of Finale. On a side note, I do find it interesting that when I load in a MIDI file into Band in A Box or PG PowerTracks, the notation display is, 99% of the time, just like a performer would want to see it. On the other hand, loading in the same file into Finale, no matter what type of tweaking I do with quantization settings, I rarely get what a performer would need to see and it almost always requires substantial editing.

Thurletta Brown-Gavins wrote: From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Finale] Hyperscribe - - annoying latency I was wondering how I can keep Hyperscribe from putting an annoying latency into the recording off a keyboard. Even when I record quarter notes, it puts a sixteenth note before each one. In other words, all the note events are moved over exactly 1/4 of a beat too late. So far, I can't figure out how to prevent this latency. Is there a way to easily correct the mistakes it put in after it's been recorded? Or do I have to hand edit every single measure? In other words, how do I move the notes over 1/4 beat to the left in one mass edit operation? Gosh, am I glad you asked this question! I've had this problem for years and it is only when I have the "tap" really slo-o-o-ow and LOUD, and take time to hit each note exactly where it should fall beatwise, that anything comes out looking remotely the way I intended it. Can't wait to hear the answer to your question...this is just a "me too" post. Thurletta Brown-Gavins Well there's a huge difference between latency and rhythmic accuracy. What Thurletta is describing sounds to me like what I experience when I'm not careful in how I set the quantization. It is important that you tell the program (any program, actually, if you want notational accuracy, even sequencers) what the shortest note value you are attempting to play is. And even with that, if you don't hold the midi key down for exactly one complete beat in 4/4 time, there's no way that the program can tell that you meant to play a quarter note, when you released the key closer to the 3rd 16th-note's place. So the program has to decide which rhythmic subdivision you ended your note closest to and then it notates that. So if you let the key up in the 3rd 16th-note's place, the program will notate a dotted-8th-note followed by a 16th-rest unless you have told the program that the shortest note value you're playing is 8th-notes, in which case it will calculate that you released the note closer to the end of the second 8th-note's space and will notate a quarter-note. The shorter the note values you tell the program you're trying to enter, the more difficult the rhythmic accuracy becomes for the program to calculate. Listening, we determine the rhythms we hear by where the notes begin, and not so much by where each note ends but the program can't think like that. It can only work with the two pieces of rhythmic data it receives for each note you play: where the note begins and where it ends, so unless you end it exactly perfectly the program will notate exactly what you played rather than what you intended to play. ThoughtNotator(tm) hasn't been invented yet, but I'm sure the marketing department at MakeMusic is working hard on the Finale developers to figure something out that they can make a big splash out of for Finale2008. That's a very different problem from what Bill describes, where every note is appearing a 16th-note late. -- David H.

Getting rid of all of th expressions and articulations from the libraries, and extraneous text blocks only reduced the size of the imported files by a few K. Asside from the MIDI Data, it is possible that you still have numerous shapes stored in the documents, which do not get deleted when you delete the expressions or articulations that use them. In my experience these waste a lot of space.

It doesn't surprise me -- the ones with the midi data imported contained much more data than the ones you entered from scratch. All the midi data from an imported file is stored in the Finale file -- that's why there are options in the playback options to have Finale ignore recorded data. Any midi data which Finale generates for playback is generated each time and then discarded, so it isn't stored with the file. Now, I'm sure that the midi files for the hymns were nowhere near the difference in file size, but I suspect that Finale has to create new data structures to accomodate the midi data and to link it to specific measures and entries onscreen, which would entail adding data for the links. But isn't it curious that we're discussing files of this relatively small size when it wasn't too many versions ago that Finale files were HUGE even if there were only a couple of entries and no imported midi data. Shows how far the program has come, I think. -- David H. Bailey [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
