[Finale] TAN: building a database for a music library
My apologies, I'm somewhat out of date about FMPro being cross platform now. What I was really trying to say though was that in relatively small groups of people---orchestras or any other associations---most members have Excel on their computers---most often PCs--- but not FMPro or any other data base for that matter. This might be relevant in Johannes situation, Margaret ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

Excel is Mac, too, BTW, so the platform is not of such consequence. christopher ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
Re: [Finale] exploding bug in 2009
Hi Chuck, This is indeed the new behaviour, though I doubt it is a bug. It's just a stupid change that they probably enacted knowingly with the new expressions, but without checking who needed it first. I liked being able to put all my dynamics, articulations, slurs and hairpins in before exploding. In TG Tools Smart Explosion it even copies the hairpins. Now if I use Finale's explode function, I will have to copy Smart Hairpins as before, but now I have to add Expressions.

[Finale] multi-measure rests in 1st and 2nd endings
Hi List, I can't get a multi-measure rest to appear in a two-bar first ending of a linked. The measure attributes are set so that a rest should appear, but even after I select the bars and choose to create a multi-measure rest, Finale still keeps individual bars of rest. I've even extracted the part from the score (thinking it had something to do with the linked part), but that didn't work. Amy I missing something here? Is this a known bug?

This behaves itself on my system (Mac OS 10.4, Finale 2009) Did you select the measures, go to Edit menuMultimeasure RestsCreate? If this doesn't work, then make sure the measures are REALLY empty (no REAL whole rests showing up; they look just like the default ghost rests, but they prevent multimeasure rests from forming. Delete the contents just to make sure.) Then check any expressions that may be in the measures and make sure that their attributes are not set to Break Multimeasure Rest. After this, it may be corruption. Copy the contents to a new file and see if the problem copies along with the contents. If it does, I would suspect an expression or actual contents that you may have missed. The only problems I have had involve the right-hand brackets sometimes disappearing when I create multimeasure rests in first endings, and sometimes I can't select the left-hand bracket in that circumstance, either.

Re: [Finale] Expressions in bottom part score impossible in 2009
Hi Allen, Youre right if the document is fresh, it's working, but not if the document is originally made in 2008 or earlier. I think the step from 2008 to 2009 has been a bit time consuming. I mean importing the expressions, dividing it to categories, and if you use QuicKeys as I do, there are certainly a lot of minor details to work out before the system works again. Anyway thank you for your time! Den 21/08/2008 kl. 15.35 skrev Allen Fisher: Stig-- I just tried your steps, and it's working on my MacBook. Does your bottom staff have either a staff style or a staff attribute set to not display expressions? (Alternate notation...)

Christopher Hi Christopher, Adjusting repeat brackets over mm rests is often problematic. I find that if I have made changes to the default positioning of the bracket ends in the score, I will need to remove the mm rest within the bracket to make the adjustments in the parts and then recreate the rest.

[Finale] Size of Orchestra Score
I am engraving a composition for full orchestra plus SATB. The customer has asked for the score on 8.5 x 11 paper. At that size everything is so tiny I can't imagine it would be readable. What size of page do you use? In the past I have printed on 10 x 14 and that looked pretty good, but certainly not a standard paper size. Also she wants the choral score in octavo size. I have seen lots of recent choral scores printed on 8.5 x 11. What do you think? Thanks. Jane ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

[Finale] resend: FinWin 09 printing problem
Hi all- My HP 5100dtn (duplexer) **WILL NOT** print on both sides in this version. I have the latest XP service pack 3 driver for the printer (that was the first thing I checked). I've tried every option I can think of, but menu items have moved so much from '06 I might be missing something and not even know it. What settings will allow me to print double-sided on 8.5x11 (or even 11x17 in booklets) ?! If no one's had this problem maybe I just need to contact tech support many thanks in advance for suggestions, etc. Cecil Rigby Harrock Hall Music Liberty, SC [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
