Re: [Finale] OT: choir+piano layout

2007-07-31 Thread Jonathan Smith


am i correct in thinking the vocal lines should not be op^timized  
out of piano solo passsages?


No, they should be optimised out. Singers don't need to read blank  
measures rest, they'll follow the piano part easily + saves space on  
the page.

Re: [Finale] Text Blocks in the Right Place

2007-07-31 Thread Jonathan Smith



Hold down Alt-Ctrl and click on an expression, it shows the note
it's attached to.



How cool is that?


Not very cool. I almost never use it. I want to see what's hooked  
to what,
not go clicking everywhere and guessing. When I move a note with  
special

tools, I want to see what's attached first, not have to reprint a page
because something moved somewhere. I want a view that shows the
associations. Graphire had it since the beginning, and it was one  
of the

features that made the program so easy to use.


Then attach them as measure espressions then they will stay in place  
if you move the notes around. At least finale gives you the chance to  
colour items so you can see what is what.


Sibelius has this lasso feature, little dotted lines everywhere -  
each to their own, I think it just clutters up the screen, can't see  
the wood for the trees.


What is interesting though is that you can see the little lines  
stretching as you drag an exp. or text across the page and then when  
they get to long... they jump over and attach to another note in the  
next measure, which of course plays havoc in part layouts - call that  
a feature?

Re: [Finale] printer frustration - Ricoh AP2610

2007-07-31 Thread Raymond Horton
In the better-late-than never department, thanks, Dalvin Boone, for 
straightening me out on printing 2 up on 11 x 17. 



I see that my confusion was in not wanting to define the initial page 
setup as 11x17, only the printer setup.  I was thinking that since I was 
printing 2 letter sized pages onto 1 large page, the page definition 
should be letter, and the printer should print two of them.  Somehow I 
didn't run into this confusion with the old printer drivers, but that is 
the way things are.   (Why, back in my day, by cracky ...)



Thanks again.


(P. S.  Any relation to Daniel Boone?   I have some relation on my 
mother's side to Rebecca Bryan Boone.)

Speaking of printer frustration, I'm having trouble with my Ricoh 
AP2610. I'm running WinFin 2006c on a Vista system.
I can't get it to print letter size Finale files two-up on 11 x 17 
paper with the newest driver.  The old-old driver was easy to figure 
out, the next driver was confusing, and now with the latest driver I 
can't find any way in the world to get it to print correctly.
Before I upped to Vista, I tried to revert to the driver that worked, 
and that started a sequence of problems.  I think I need the newest 
driver for a few reasons.
Anyone else printing etter size Finale files two-up on 11 x 17 paper 
on Vista on this printer?  Anything you can tell me?




I'm printing letter-size pages 2-up on 11 X 17 paper on a Ricoh AP600N 
in Win XP.  I'm not sure how similar this is to your situation, but 
here is my combination of choices in the various dialogue boxes:


Page Setup:  11 X 17; whatever tray; landscape.

Print:  all (or a range); left  right; 2-up; page range (e.g. 4,1).

Print Setup:  11 X 17; whatever tray; landscape.

Properties:  landscape; front-back; pages per sheet 1 (one).

The last choice, one page per sheet, does not seem logical to me at 
first, but after it works it seems perfectly logical.

[Finale] Re: known audio playback bug in Finale 2008

2007-07-31 Thread Bob Shuster
Yes, I did mean 2008 - oops!  :)   I failed to mention to them that I  
do use pro audio hardware for output, routing all output through a  
PreSonus FirePod.  So are you saying that if I just used the line  
outs on my Mac Pro for Fainle output that I wouldn't have this  
issue?  It would be a workaround for the moment - I do have the Mac's  
line-outs running to my mixer, I just usually keep them muted and  
pulled all the way down.


Hmmm...  might be worth a shot.

You mean 2008.
I have reported it here as soon as 2008 came out, and MM! has
acknowledged the bug.  The bug is specific to CA mono stream, that
Finale falsely assumes target CA device is a single stream device.   
Mac

built-in and inexpensive audio hardware are designed as single stream
device, while prosumer devices follows CA spec, which is multi stream
per channel.

That didn't seem right, so I checked - I actually own
several pieces commercially printed choral music that
is letter size, and one that is a strange (to me)
size, being a bit taller  a bit narrower than letter.
 Most of my scores are early music, so perhaps that
makes a difference?
