[Finale] FinWin 2k6c - strange behaviour of a group bracket

2008-06-05 Thread themark

I am writing a SATB vocal arrangement (four staves) using a template I made.
I don't know if I accidentally stroke some combination of keys, the fact 
is that in page view
only one of the grouped staves has the bracket broken in four parts. I 
tried to remove and re-add
the group and the bracket, nothing changed. Printing the page gives the 
same result.
Moreover, I noticed that the first stave of the group has the vertical 
barlines coloured in blue.

What does it mean?
I never encountered this trouble.
Thanks for help.

[Finale] It ends before it's over!

Hi, all,

Mac G5 dual 2.0 GHz
Mac OS 10.5.3
Finale 2008b

I have an odd problem. When playing back a file it stops midway through.

Background: this was original a quadruple meter piece that I'm converting to
a waltz. I first changed the meter from 4/4 to 2/4, then from 2/4 to 3/4
(without rebarring the music). I then added notes to fill out the music.
Then went I went to play it it slowed down right in the middle, then
stopped.

It is apparently ending playback at the same number of beats into the piece
that the original piece was long.

I removed the ritardando by clearing MIDI data, but I still can't convince
playback that there's more music to play!

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Andrew Levin

PS - I'm on the digest, so if anyone has an answer I'd appreciate cc'ing me
directly, too.

PPS - Regarding another post of mine a few weeks ago (that nobody responded
to), Leopard has a new trick for Finale: you can create a shortcut (I use
QuicKeys) to bring up the Print dialog box, then pull up the Save as PDF
dialog box, then click OK. It's a great time saver!

Hi Dennis,

 Do you know if deleted graphics bulk is deleted by importing 
 the files into 2008a and running a data check? Or are some of 
 my 2007 files forever 50-80MB each?

I just tested this in 2008a on Windows with a 2007 file with a deleted
3MB embedded graphic. Doing a data check in 2008a did indeed get rid
of that extraneous data. So 2008a can get rid of that graphics bulk
that earlier versions added.

Best regards,
