Re: [Finale] OT: Dies Irae
I guess I'll have to WRESTLE with that thought for MANY years to come, Darcy.. I should have included it as Matthew asked for: (Particularly important works?) My bad :) Bob PS: Yes, that momentous occasion was actually mentioned on the page in Wikipedia I referenced-- Under References in Popular Culture.. I now include the rest for the sake of completeness, lest I be PINNED down again for lacking it:): The melody has also been referenced in popular culture, often being used in soundtracks to horror films. A version of Dies Irae was used in WWE/WWF's WrestleMania XIV during the video package to promote the buildup to The Undertaker and Kane's historic first match against one another. The musical Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street by Stephen Sondheim contains several variations of the Dies Irae throughout its score, most notably in the recurrent Ballad of Sweeney Todd,[5] and as part of the underscoring in the climactic Epiphany. Lacrimosa by singer/songwriter Regina Spektor centers around the eighteenth stanza of the poem. The song is written from the point of view of Icarus, the son of Daedalus from Greek mythology, as he is falling to the earth. A version of Dies Irae named Requiem Nitachou K.626 is used for Wolfgang Krauser in the Fatal Fury series by SNK,now SNK Playmore. In Monty Python and the Holy Grail, the last stanza (Pie Jesu Domine, dona eis requiem) is chanted by monks hitting themselves with boards. A japanese Anime called Death Note features Dies Irae's first two stanzas as the lyrics of the theme of the Death Note with orchestral music in the background.

There is Rachmaninoff, of course, and Michael Daugherty's Dead Elvis. Also Crumb uses it now and then e.g. Black Angels, Makrokosmos II. But any others that come to mind?

Not sure if you can blame finale or your computer. You should make sure all the drivers for your printer are up to date. Is this a windows or a mac computer? You might also have your finale pages set too large for the printer. Perhaps your template as well?

And it won't be upgraded until they have some real improvements to offer. Like any software, you might agree or disagree with some of the programmers' decisions, and the big new deal in Sib6 is automatic layout, which saves a lot of time but some of which's decisions you might not fully agree with. However, various aspects of it can be turned off if you choose to. Oh, and a new chord symbol process, which a few people simply don't care for (although I'm not sure why), but which I've had no problems with (other than a font problem, which was quickly solved by Sibelius' on-line and very responsive Senior Product Developer).

Re: [Finale] recent Finale versus recent Sibelius
David, I have both of them, Finale 2010 and Sibelius 6.1. I in fact started using Sibelius 6.1 today and it feels a lot better than previous versions, somehow, if also a bit slower. The collision avoidance thing is great on some levels. If you have time to relearn everything and are feeling brave, then sure, why not give Sibelius a whirl. Certainly in Australia Sibelius is #1. But particularly if you are using Speedy Entry in Finale, and you don't have a lot of time, then why not stick with what you know. There will be some relearning required in Finale as well, e.g. Expressions. But the Selection Tool is really so much better and it's worth the upgrade I think for that at least. The Dolet plugin is really good in helping to convert scores between the 2 applications if needed. Cheers Matthew 2009/10/28 David McKay davidmcka...@gmail.com My wife and I are using Finale 2004b.
