A violin quinton is a violin with the an addition string on to, and the top two strings tuned like a viol (in fourths), i.e., G/D/A/D/G. The viola version, or tenor quinton, would be a fifth lower, C/G/D/G/C (the 1911 Brittanica article talks about it (http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/1911_Encyclop%C3%A6dia_Britannica/Violi n), but Wurlitzer-Bruck actually has a violin quinton for sale (http://www.wurlitzerbruck.com/Search/catimg.php?InventoryNumber=INS- 0&img=/INS/Quintone.jpg), and that's why I know about it). I think the idea of a lower fifth string is pretty radical -- is the instrument substantially larger than a regular viola? > Do you like the piece?

Right. I should have posted a link to the directory, not to the file.

[Finale] Help with strange dashed line
Hello wisdom, I have an old file, created in 1996, FinWin 3.06r2, which I'm updating. At the bottom of the first page, there is a strange dashed line I can't get rid of. Also, I can't find out (or remember) with which tool it was created. It's here: home.wanadoo.nl/btouburg/finale/bvb.mus. Any help is greatly appreciated! (F.y.i.: a viola ingrandita is a viola with a fifth string, there's only one instrument, in Amsterdam.) Thanks!

Re: [Finale] WinFin2010 questions about capo chords
Regarding the G chord capoing to a "Gb" chord: I did a strange thing, and it seemed to work. The actual chord in the piece is Gm; I opened the chord def dialog, then typed in the cap at 1 fret as usual, then I changed the chord name at the top from Gm to F##m and it seemed to work! Even more interesting, when I re-open the chord definition, it still shows Gm as the original chord name. kaub...@hawaii.rr.com wrote: > I am attempting to make a sheet with both capo and non-capo chords.

[Finale] WinFin2010 questions about capo chords
I am attempting to make a sheet with both capo and non-capo chords. I have set up a standard staff for notes and lyrics. This staff has the non-transposed, non-capo chords. I have a second staff in which I hide everything except the chords, and I copied the chords only from the first staff to this staff. So far, so good. (1) I know how to set the capo chord per individual chord using the Chord Definition dialog box. Is there some sort of way of setting ALL the chords to capo at, say, fret 1? I really can't imagine why I have to do it one chord at a time. I thought there would be a way of saying that a whole staff would be transposed. I tried that using Staff Attributes in Staff Transpositions, and nothing happened. For some reason, the chords don't change with the transposition. I also tried using the transpose under utilities, and same thing: no effect on the chords. So, I'm back to setting the capo at fret 1 for all the chords - one-by-one. Very tedious. (2) I am capo-ing 1 fret, so the key sig essentially (for the guitarist, anyway) goes from Eb to D. However, when I check the capo at one fret for a G chord, it seems to want to transpose this to a Gb chord. In the key of D, shouldn't it change to F#? Is there a way I can force this? I've tried messing with "simplify key sigs" on other dialogs even though I didn't think it would work, and it still didn't do anything. I've just put up with a Tsunami alert in Hawaii. It's late at night, and I'm proably not thinking straight anyway. Any ideas? TIA ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
