Hi Ruth.

Christopher has the right answer.  Use the Bb key signature with the  
F# where needed.


One of the Klezmer books that I have is The Compleat Klezmer by  
Henry Sapoznik.  He often uses that same notation.  His version of  
Baym Rebin's Sude, however, is up a step in E Ahava Raba mode.  There  
are 25 or so pages at the beginning of the book that supply some  
context and include a few pages that talk about the common modes and  
structure.  It's a bit pricey, though at $20.  Ahava Raba mode on D  
is kinda like D if adding a flat 2,6, and 7 retains any of the  
original major scale ;-)  Common chords would be D, Gm and Cm.


Good Luck

It's just ctrl-click on Windows (or is it shift-click?) to copy as 
you're trying to do -- adding both modifier keys brings up the items to 
copy dialog.

So try just shift-click or opt-click and it should work as it used to. 
This was changed with Fin2006, if I recall correctly.

RE: [Finale] Klezmer music question

2007-09-21 Thread keith helgesen
AFAIK this was *very* occasionally used to indicate a minor key. 
In this case G minor- completely reinforced by the scale of G minor as
quoted in the message. I'm not really familiar with my minor modal variants
but I suspect a 'hyper' scale form thus D to D but in G minor.

The key sig works by quoting all normally used accidentals-
In this case, G minor= Bb Eb F#

A minor would have key sig G# (only!) 
D minor would have Bb and C#, and C minor would have Eb,Ab only (no Bb)! 

Weird- but I recall reading of a strong European movement to adopt such a
system mid 20th Century! 

Just a thought!

Re: [Finale] mirroring behaviour

He wasn't using Mirroring in the same sense that Finale has Mirrors. 
He was just using the term to indicate taking a selected passage and 
copying it to a different location.


Mirrors as Finale uses the term means telling Finale that you want 
measures 100-120 (for example) to be exact copies of measures 20-40. 
That way any edits you make in measures 20-40 are immediately copied to 
measures 100-120.  You can't make anything different between the two 
sets of measures.  It makes it easy if you always want exact duplicate 
measures, but you can't even change the articulation in measures 
100-120.  To do any edit which is different between the two sets, you 
have to break the mirror link, at which point Finale writes the data 
into measures 100-120, giving you two sets of data.  When the Mirror 
link is intact, there aren't two sets of data, there is the date in 
measures 20-40 and some sort of pointer in measures 100-120 which says 
put whatever is in measures 20-40 here also.


I've never used it either, other than to experiment with it to see how 
useful it might be.


It would be very useful for someone who is using the never write 
repeats or D.C./D.S. -- write everything out straight through so nobody 
can ever get lost approach.  But since I don't do that, I prefer to use 
the copy/paste approach to duplicate sets of data and then edit each of 
the sets of data so there can be some variety.

In addition to what David has already mentioned: Mirrors, imo, are an 
extremely useful way in Finale to have one passage displayed twice. Once 
you have mirrored a passage somewhere else, every change, addition, 
every articulation, slur, text, expression will appear also in the mirror.


I use mirrors for two situations: In baroque and early classical music 
when eg the two violin parts in an orchestral piece are exactly the 
same, often not even written out in the manuscript, and also, 
occasionally in Da Capo situations.


I usually will eventually convert the mirrors into real notes, but in 
the working stage they save me a lot of work.

I use mirrors when I am writing a repeating accompaniment and I think

change in the original measures for it to cascade through the piece.  
Saves mondo time when a client changes his mind a lot. Otherwise, I  
never use them for my own music, as everything is worked out on a

They do exist, but they are extremely difficult to master, I certainly

I actually don't quite see the point of them. Mirrors are good for 
identical passages. They are also useful when entering a piece, even if 
the passages are not totally identical as long as the notes are the 
same, and one is happy to convert mirrors at some stage.


Imo mirrors are of no use at all as soon as the notes are not identical.

I said I didn't work with mirrors much.  :-)

In event, the keystrokes are the same to get the same result, mirrors or

Thanks, David, Johannes, Christopher et al. for explanations. 

I tend to do the sections, then - as David does, cut and paste.
I can certainly see the advantage of mirrors in 'change of mind by client
etc' situation!

Thanks as ever

He wasn't using Mirroring in the same sense that Finale has Mirrors. 
He was just using the term to indicate taking a selected passage and 
copying it to a different location.

Mirrors as Finale uses the term means telling Finale that you want 
measures 100-120 (for example) to be exact copies of measures 20-40. 
That way any edits you make in measures 20-40 are immediately copied to 
measures 100-120.  You can't make anything different between the two 
sets of measures.  It makes it easy if you always want exact duplicate 
measures, but you can't even change the articulation in measures 
100-120.  To do any edit which is different between the two sets, you 
have to break the mirror link, at which point Finale writes the data 
into measures 100-120, giving you two sets of data.  When the Mirror 
link is intact, there aren't two sets of data, there is the date in 
measures 20-40 and some sort of pointer in measures 100-120 which says 
put whatever is in measures 20-40 here also.

I've never used it either, other than to experiment with it to see how 
useful it might be.

It would be very useful for someone who is using the never write 
repeats or D.C./D.S. -- write everything out straight through so nobody 
can ever get lost approach.  But since I don't do that, I prefer to use 
the copy/paste approach to duplicate sets of data and then edit each of 
the sets of data so there can be some variety.

 In ten years of Finale I've never known- and certainly never used it.

 I am having problems in 2k7 mirroring passages using the method to

 mirroring, it seems, and I am now remembering there was a bug

 Actually, it does work after all, only the items to copy dialog comes 
 up, which is a little confusing, since I don't think it does anythign in 
 this context.

 It's just ctrl-click on Windows (or is it shift-click?) to copy as 
 you're trying to do -- adding both modifier keys brings up the items to 
 copy dialog.
 
 So try just shift-click or opt-click and it should work as it used to. 
 This was changed with Fin2006, if I recall correctly.
