Re: [Finale] Finale quits when inserting measure stack
This is an original Finale Mac 2003 file converted to 2008. In your experience, did it also happened with files created by version 2008? This never happens when I use version 2003 (I do it eventually). Harold At 22:43 -0400 16/04/09, Christopher Smith wrote: Harold, you HAVE to send that to tech support!

[Finale] Note attached articulations
[Finale 2002] I would like to use the articulation tool to attach numbers to individual notes. This is fine for single digit numbers, but I cannot create articulations for 10 and above, other than by creating two articulations and dragging them into position. At the moment, the best solution I can come up with is to use the expression tool, but this does not allow me to attach the articulations to the notes so that, as spacing changes, the articulation moves with the note. Does anyone have any better solutions to offer? Regards, Michael Lawlor ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

Re: [Finale] Finale quits when inserting measure stack
I've had corruption occur in all kinds of files, including ones created freshly with the latest defaults in the current version. Maybe it's gamma radiation...

Re: [Finale] Note attached articulations
I want to place circles beneath each note, so that my 1st graders can colour them. The only way I can figure out is using the expression tool. I made a new expression with the circle, but now I have to doubleclick each note to attach that expression. Is there an easy way to attach to all notes in my score this circle?

RE: [Finale] Note attached articulations
Make a circle as a shape with the Articulation Tool and then set up a meta-tool to place them (one click for each note) or use Mass Edit to select many notes and attach the articulation to them all at once. -Original Message- From: finale-boun...@shsu.edu [mailto:finale-boun...@shsu.edu] On Behalf Of monique krijgsman Sent: Friday, April 17, 2009 6:47 AM To: finale@shsu.edu Subject: Re: [Finale] Note attached articulations I want to place circles beneath each note, so that my 1st graders can colour them.

Re: [Finale] Note attached articulations
You don't say which version of Finale you are using, but you have better options in all versions. In older versions, assign the expression to a metatool (look up metatool in the documentation.) say, O. Hold down O and click each note once. Once you have completed a measure, you can copy only the expressions to the other measures using the MassEdit tool (set it to copy only expressions!) In 2009, you can hold down the metatool key and drag across all the notes that you want to assign the expression to, saving some time.

Re: [Finale] Note attached articulations
What about using the lyrics tool for this? That's what I have used in the past and it's much quicker.

Re: [Finale] Note attached articulations
Matthew is right. I also use the Lyrics tool for pedal marks. I set up a library of markings, and entering them with metatools is fast and easy, and it allows them to line up perfectly on each system. I think I started doing this back in Finale 2.6, if memory serves. J D Thomas ThomaStudios On Apr 17, 2009, at 3:08 PM, Matthew Gmail wrote: What about using the lyrics tool for this?

[Finale] Finale 09, Mac OS 10.4.11
Hi, Does anybody out there run Finale 2009 with Mac OS 10.4.11? Know if it will work OK with only 1G of memory? I'm stuck with a G4 laptop with a burnt memory slot, Apple fixed a bunch of them but mine's outside their serial # window for the fix, even tho I have the same problem. I can upgrade my desktop to run F2009 but I need file compatibility with the laptop to make it worthwhile. I'm not too concerned about using Garriton sounds on the laptop, but need the program to work and at least do MIDI playback with only 1 G of memory. Thanks for any info Bonnie Harris ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
Re: [Finale] Finale 09, Mac OS 10.4.11
There is probably more expert opinion on the list, and also at Mac support at MM, but I think you'll be fine.

Re: [Finale] Finale 09, Mac OS 10.4.11
Hi Bonnie, I'm running 10.4 on a G4 iBook with 1 gig RAM (512 meg built in, and 512 as an added chip), and it runs Fin2009 fine, though a little slow at times, especially with large files. I don't use Garritan on the laptop (too big for the HD) so I can't comment there. Go for it.
