Can someone tell me where the actual notes for tremolos are placed when the
Easy Tremolos plugin is used?  I need to delete them.  The tremolo plugin in
the full version of TGTools is unable to do so.  Using the ³Notes and Rests
(Show)² plugin seems to make them visible (no longer greyed out) in layer 1,
but I can¹t seem to get at them through Speedy or Simple Entry.


The Easy Tremolos plugin puts its notes in layer 4. See the four little 
buttons with numbers 1 through 4 on the bottom left of the window. Click 
on button 4, and now, with Speedy Entry, you can edit the tremolo notes.
Don't forget to click on button 1 again after you're done, or you will 
be putting all your new work in layer 4.

Re: [Finale] playback of multi instrument staves

It's also worth noting that this solution can confuse Human Playback,  
especially when it comes to keyswitches. Depending on your needs, you  
may find it is worth your while to mute the display+printing staves in  
favor of hidden playback-only staves.

Only if they are in separate layers. Click on the drop down arrow to  
the
left of the staff name in the instrument list. The staff line  
expands to

show the different layers.

Hi Chuck,

Alternatively, if you want playback while writing, you could input  
directly to the to-be-hidden staves. Also, there is no need to  
delete the staves when the piece is done -- you can just optimize out  
the playback-only staves.


Cheers,

Aha!, Didn't think of that one.  One could write in the display  
staves, explode to hidden ones with the display staves muted, get  
good playback, and delete the hidden staves when the piece is done.


Darcy, you are a gem.

[Finale] Re: Finale Digest, Vol 55, Issue 14

2008-02-15 Thread Andrew Levin
 The version of Band in a Box for Macintosh is 5 versions behind the PC
 one (2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, and now 2008). Plus, it is not universal
 binary (last I checked).
 
 On your G5 Mac, you don't really have an option other than BinaB Mac version.
 
 On an Intel Mac, you can run BinaB 2008 with Boot Camp, or even under
 Parallels. I have this running on my iMac. Works fine. Garritan Jazz
 band works fine too (running under Windows of course). No stutters or
 anything.
 
 I'd say away from the Mac version of BinaB. The PC version is really
 light years ahead of the Mac version.

Eric,

Things have apparently changed. There's a new version for Mac, version 12. I
don't know how it compares to the most recent Windows version. In any case,
here's a transcript of a chat with their Live Help:

Evan: Welcome to PG Music's live help.  May we please have your first and
last name to better assist you?
you: YEs, I'm Andrew. I just bought the latest BIAB for Mac. Is it
universal? Can it run on an intel machine? If not, what are your plans for
that?
Evan: Yes, it can run on an intel machine
you: Thank you!
you: Oh, to clarify. Can it run as a Mac program on an Intel machine (as
opposed to running a Windows version in Boot Camp or a virtual OS)
Evan: yes
you: Thanks



I have very simple needs, so I'd rather just have a Mac version than fuss
with Windows on Intel (and buy another copy of Windows and Parallels for my
laptop).

Thanks for the help.

Andrew Levin
