That's not a very good long-term storage solution.


That is still to be decided.
I have a few files stored that way for easy access wherever I am.
Not much, only about 2 GB, but they're always there since 3 years now.

It's no replacement for a hard drive, it's an additional security layer.


And can your really trust big companies to maintain your data in the

can't.


Correct.
That's why I have 3 copies up there.


Plus, I am wary of giving any more leverage to Google than they
already have with their search engine monopoly.


I don't think encrypted files on a few free mail accounts with  
randomly chosen names will give them any clue about me. ;-)



Last of all, who wants to wait on the download? Even with high
bandwidth broadband, an external drive is going to be faster --
you'll long ago have finished running the installer before you've
even finished the download from the cloud.


If you have the drive with you.
And if it's not affected by the virus (crash, malfunction) that caused  
the need for its use.


As I already said, it's a backup solution.
A hard drive is better for sure regarding access times an available  
storage amount, but it has it's shortcomings (vulnerability to local  
threats, to be kept up-to-date manually).


If, for any reason, you can't acces such drive, the GMail account can  
be very helpful.

[Finale] Expressions for layer 2 in Linked Parts?

2009-10-23 Thread Karl-Johan Ankarblom
Hi!

I'm really aiming for keeping score  parts in one file I know, but... ;)

I use 2 layers in my, say, Horn 12 part in the score.

As parts I make this two separate parts.

However, in the part containing layer 2, in this case Horn 2, 
expressions/dynamics won't show, appearantly because they are attached to layer 
1 in the first place and Finale thinks its supposed to show only what's in 
Layer 2.

HOW do I get around this? Was it like this in earlier versions (I'm on WinXp, 
2010a)

Of course I want things that obviously applies to both parts (in the music I 
orchestrate anyway..), such as dynamics, to get shown in both parts in Linked 
Parts.

Grateful for your thoughts!

[Finale] slow graphic printing

2009-10-23 Thread Bernard Savoie

Andrew,

The first thing I would try would be to save a copy of your file in

then open the file in 2k7 and reinstall the graphic.


Best of luck.

I have a FinMac 2K4 file that includes a number of large (i.e.
data-rich) graphics, including some photos. It has always printed out
quite swiftly, but when I updated the file to 2K7, printing became
glacial, and one page became so slow that it exceeds my printer's
time-out limit and won't print at all! I tried creating a PDF file and
printing from that, but it proved just as slow.

Is there anything I can do to make the 2K7 version print as readily as
the 2K4 original?

I don't have any idea if what you describe is a fair description of 
what's going on. My guess is there's plenty of communication between 
the teams.

But there's likely plenty of *mis*-communication, too, programmers 
being programmers.

If I'm right that the Finale QA team is the same team that provides 
tech support, this would just be an example of a historical 
confrontation between those who develop the software and those who 
test it. A good developer recognizes that the testers are your best 
helpers in the world, but there are good testers and there are bad 
testers. 

And also, it can be kind of annoying to have the QA people never 
giving you any feedback except on the things you do wrong. This 
causes a certain level of friction. It can be managed, but it's part 
of the equation.

But I'm only speculating that the tech support team also functions as 
QA during the development process. That would make a great deal of 
sense in a small software development house like MM, but is often not 
the case in larger companies.

[Finale] font question

I would like to convert it to either TrueType or OpenType so that it 
will work on Windows, etc.  I've got a good font converter program 
(FontXChange) that seems to process it fine (and works OK with other 
fonts) but the resulting font isn't recognized by Finale on either 
platform.


Any ideas?

First:
Data packets, no matter which, cannot be dangerous.
They can, however, be built to exploit programming faults in the  
software which receives them. But that's a problem of that software,  
then.


Second:
You will get caught.
Probably not the first time you do it.
But then, since you haven't been caught then, you'll feel safe -- and

Re: [Finale] font question

2009-10-23 Thread Matthew Hindson (gmail)
The font conversion programme probably changed the internal font 
encoding.  A few versions back Finale changed things so that only 
specific font encodings worked.  This had the consequence that some 
fonts (e.g. the Opus families) no longer showed up in Finale.


You will need to get TypeTool or something like that to encode it using 
Mac, or using trial and error to find one that works.

You will need to get TypeTool or something like that to encode it 
using Mac, or using trial and error to find one that works.

With your advice I was able to get the converted font to work (both 
TrueType and OpenType) on the Mac side (using Adobe Standard 
Encoding) using the same FontXChange program - but I'm still stuck on 
the Windows side.


I have a pretty rudimentary setup on the Windows side (I use XP Pro  
Parallels on my MacPro).  The converted fonts show up OK in Windows 
itself but not in the 2010 Finale Reader.

Dwight -

What other encoding choices are offered in FontXChange? I'm not sure  
the Adobe encoding is the best choice.
