[Finale] O.T. : First / Second Ending Repeat Bars...
Hi all: My editor mentioned that my notation for the first and second ending wasn't standard notation. I have posted a screengrab of that here: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v601/graupner/firstsecond.jpg Actually I thought this looked better than what the default Finale version was, but what exactly is the correct notation for this? I just extended line from the first ending to touch the 2nd one. I guess I should assume this is one instance where Finale's default setting is the correct one?

I hate it when the vertical hook at the end of the 1st ending touches the vertical hook at the start of the 2nd ending. I always move the right-end vertical hook of the first ending so it is lined up with the left edge of the thicker of the two barlines in the repeat sign. I leave the left-hand vertical hook of the 2nd ending lined up over the start of the measure. And the horizontal line above the 1st ending should end at the vertical hook, so there is a slight gap between the right end of the horizontal line of the 1st ending and the start of the horizontal line above the 2nd ending.

Looking at the appropriate pages in Ted Ross, he's got the first ending bracket aligned with the left edge of the thick bar of the repeat sign and the second ending bracket aligned with the right edge. Regardless of the exact alignment, I am used to seeing some space between the two brackets. I think it is also common to have the numerals closer to the left side of the bracket, and to follow the numerals with periods.

Re: [Finale] tuplet pratfall?
Aaron, We need more information to help you. How are you creating the triplet? My suggestion is to use speedy entry, go to the place in the measure where you want the triplet, hold down the option key, hit the number 3, (look for the little 3 in the upper RH corner of the Speedy Entry frame) and then enter the 16th notes (the value of the first triplet note must be a 16th in order for this to work). See if this works.

Re: [Finale] Vista (?)
Everyone has had different experiences with Windows machines, but on the basis of Win98, which was seriously flawed until Win98SE came out (and MS didn't offer free upgrades), and WinXP, which took two service packs to solve some serious issues (and the second Service Pack doesn't load on all installations), I'm going to wait this one out a while, at least until some version two of Vista comes out. In the meantime, I've move so much over to Linux that Finale is the only program I need to use which requires Windows.

It will not be pretty on 2 or 3 yo PCs. You'd be better off buying a new PC with Vista installed. This has been the case with every version of Windows I've ever known (going back to 3.0). Why it should be surprising to anyone, I can't say -- Windows has never been good with upgrades and I never do it for my clients, ever. They get a new version of Windows when they get a new PC, and that's good enough. Upgrading violates the principle of if it ain't broke, don't fix it. 2. It is annoying. If you thought XP was a step backwards in UI design, Vista is 20 steps backwards in UI design. You cannot find anything you are familiar with. This is just a matter of unfamiliarity. You cannot modify zillions of files that you used to have access to. You don't *need* modify access to those files. Files you *need* access to should be stored in your user profile, which is under your full control. Any looser access to application and OS space is dangerous. You cannot keep data in the same directory as the program, which is what I always do, so that it is simple to transfer the stuff to a new system The start menu is totally changed. Applications and user data should *always* be kept separate: 1. for backup purposes -- you only occasionally need to backup applications folders, which basically don't change. You frequently need to back up data. 2. for security purposes -- you need to have full control (read/write/delete) on your data files, but you *don't* need that control on application files. If application files have those permissions, then you're exposed to malicious programs that change your application files to do hidden and nasty things. With applications and data in separate locations, you can have full access to the data that *should* be editable and read-only access to the data that has no need to be editable. This latter concept has been the basis for all the UNIX installations since forever, since it makes particular sense for multi-user systems, where you don't want to mix up many users' data into application areas that might be used by multiple people. And why you would think it would be simple to transfer an application to a new system by copying its application folder, I don't know. Windows applciations have not existed as just files in an application folder for, oh, I don't, 15 years? They depend on registry entries and libraries stored in common locations, so you can't just copy the app from one machine to another. You sound like a refugee from DOS 3.x days (i.e., late 80s) who has no comprehension of how Windows works (and has worked as long as Windows has existed). You can't find anything on it. The always searching stuff slows everything down a lot. Sounds like simple unfamiliarity to me. 3. I run XP at home. I may never upgrade unless I find something I absolutely need. I won't upgrade at work until I am forced to. Nobody is forcing you to upgrade. I am thinking a MacPro will NOT be able to run Vista.

Select the region with Mass Edit, and then do Plugins | Note Beam Rest | Ledger Lines (Hide). You can also do this by hand with the Edit Frame dialog, but I'm guessing that the plugin will be quicker for you.

Re: [Finale] Chords in playback
Thank You, There are some differencies between the Windows and Mac version, or maybe I just forgot!!

In the Chord Menu, Enable Chord Playback, uncheck it. This turns off chord playback for the entire piece in all staves. You can do the same thing staff by staff from the Instrument List, just click the triangle beside an instrument name to open the list of playback items and uncheck Chords.

Re: [Finale] How to eliminate ledger lines in specific measures?
Mass mover tool: select the area and apply the hide ledger lines plugin. Dennis Bathory-Kitsz wrote: Hi all, I can't find how to eliminate ledger lines in specific areas. There is a section where notes are placed on a one-line staff, but as soon as the pitches get above or below the now-invisible lines 1 2 4 and 5, there are ledger lines. I can't eliminate them entirely because I need them in other areas of the score. There doesn't seem to be a staff style setting for this. Any hints other than to place noteheads as graphics? (No fun ... that doesn't play back.)

There are just so many places to look these days, especially for something that I don't use often. I even looked in your plugins, Robert, but not the native Finale ones!

[Finale] Lyrics Question
Greetings... FinMac 2k7b, a project with lyrics. I'm getting no hyphens and no word extensions on screen or in print. In Edit Lyrics the hyphens are all there. I've got Use Smart Word Extensions and Create Automatically... checked in the Lyrics Prefs/Word Extensions menu. There must be something I'm missing (besides the hyphens and extensions!)... Any suggestions? Thanks... ng ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
[Finale] Insert measures bug (was Confirm 2 bugs some time ago)
FinWin 2k7b This has been commented before, but now I faced this bug. In a file (created in Fin2k, edited thru every version until 2k7b) of a piece for orchestra, about 250 measures, I decided to insert some music at the beggining (some 25 measures). I worked this measures in a different file (I balnaked my original file and saved it with another name, just to retain everything) and when I tried to insert the new measures in my original file, Finale just crashed (in fact, it just closed without notice) once, twice, everytime. I tested saving clip files but nothing worked, the same chrashing every time. Then I remembered that I was playing with the piccolo part (I mean, I created this linked part only to try some formatting) and thought this could be the annoying thing. I deleted it and voilà, I could insert the music without problems. I guess there's still some (should I say a lot of?) work to do with linked parts. For sure, they could be useful in some circomstances, but might become a pain in the butt in another. So, if some of you got the same trouble, maybe this info coulb be useful. Rafael L.
