[Finale] Re: Subito Music
I have seen Subito's binding and printing, and as long as the pdf is OK, the printing and binding is fine. There was a time a few years back when some Finale-made pdfs printed by Subito were missing clefs and a few other things, but that's been fixed. My understanding of Subito is that they are a publishing house (they have a limited roster); but are also a place for self-publishing. I have friends who use their site as a place to park their self- published works. I also have friends who are published by Subito. There is also ACA (which is BMI only). ACA (American Composers Alliance) is a non-profit composers co-op that gets some of its funding from BMI, and charges composer members a modest annual dues payment. Otherwise, it functions exactly like a publisher (their imprint is American Composers Edition), except it is easy to get your things back if you want to place them at a future date with a commercial publisher. In recent years they have become quite professional, and there stuff looks great. One has to apply for membership to ACA. ACA will also respond to requests for perusal scores. And they make perpetuity agreement with members (so things remain available after you are gone, with profits going to heirs). In essence, both ACA and Subito allow you to upload pdfs, both give you web space on their site to list works and receive orders, they take and fill orders in a professional way, and they send you the profits. Neither site posts prices. I've been begging ACA to post prices for the reason that Dennis mentions (lots of people don't want to request a quote).

Re: [Finale] secondary beams over rests
Thank you, Robert. I tried it - works perfectly. It also works in Simple entry, using a second layer - but there is a bit more mucking about to do. Very grateful. Ian - Original Message - From: Robert Patterson rob...@robertgpatterson.com To: finale@shsu.edu Sent: Thursday, February 04, 2010 11:00 AM Subject: Re: [Finale] secondary beams over rests This is an annoying workaround that I use. Once you get the hang of it you can set it up pretty fast, but it doesn't space correctly nor does it alway copy/past correctly. Turn beaming over rests ON. For the 16th note-rest-8th note pattern, in speedy hide the rest using the O key, then enter a rest in V2 at that same spot. With a little practice, you can manage to get the hang of entering the V2 rest at the right level and leaving the stems pointing in the right directions.

However, with the same set-up, [sixteenth note, sixteenth rest, eighth note] produces a 'short' secondary beam which goes over the rest. This I do not like. 2) With 'beaming over rests' turned OFF, the [note - rest - rest - note] gives ugly short secondary beams pointing inwards, but the [1/16th note - 1/16th rest - eighth note] is perfect. Is there some way in which I may obtain the best of both - the full secondary beam over rests in the first instance, and a really short secondary beam not over the rest in the second?

[Finale] OT Selling PDFs
I've engraved a collection of piano compositions for a lady and she's asked me about selling PDFs of them on the 'Net. I'm looking for suggested sites to do this. I'm aware of Kagi as a possibility; are there others? Richard ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

What are some ways to share work between a version of F07 and F09? Can the F09 be saved down to 07? Can 09 read the 07? Both computers are Mac. Dick H ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
Re: [Finale] Exchange work F07 09
No. I mean, you can use music XML but it's not the same.

Re: [Finale] OT Selling PDFs
www.lulu.com Of all the print on demand publishers I tried they are the only one who will sell pdfs directly. I have some music there, too, and actually sold some, too. Not much though, but one of the items I have seems to be selling a PDF copy from time to time. Johannes ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

[Finale] Increasing Playback Memory
I am trying to play, and create a playback file, of a full band piece I wrote. The composition is only 4 1/2 minutes long, but with 42 staves, playback of the full-sounding ending fades in and out. FINALE intermittently omits sustained notes and instead plays the shorter countermelody parts. I'm using SmartSynth instruments, not Garritan. Is there a way to increase computer memory, or FINALE playback capability? Or is the best solution perhaps to create a playback file with condensed sounds and/or fewer staves? I'm using FINALE 2010b, on a Mac with 4GB memory, 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 duo, running system 10.6.2 As always, thanks for any suggestions.
