I have seen this kind of collection in the brass quintet repertoire. Robert King and others gave names like: 5 Pieces Renaissance Dances Dance Suite. Titles like the above will at least give the audience a clue as to what kind of music they are about to hear. Larry Why not go for the Latin, as Ralph Vaughan Williams did, and call it Sine Nomine?

If the latter, I would say that this piece is clearly a dance suite (even if not intended for actual dancing) so you ought to be able to look at the rhythm of the unnamed piece and recognize what sort of dance it is, then call it that (possibly within editorial brackets). mdl ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

I have just converted to an Intel iMac and Snow Leopard, and there are some playback/audio units issues that I have yet to solve in the new system (I can't get the Kontact 2 Player to load at all, nor will the stand alone Garritan Aria player load instruments. Anyone with helpful ideas is welcome to let me know). Otherwise, I find 2010 pretty smooth and, if I remember correctly, you are on Windows, so maybe none of my problems will plague you. If you are new to liked parts, there is a learning curve for working with that, (pre set-up templates are a big help) but it's well worth the trouble. Let me know, if you have specific questions.

[Finale] TAN: upgrade advice wanted
After several years of doing very little engraving, I've said yes to a big job starting in a few weeks. This means I'll be upgrading ... all the way from v2004! It's been so long, I don't remember what's involved. Is there anything I need to be on watch for as I upgrade? I gather from recent discussions on the list that I'll still be able to open old files in 2k4 using save as. Although I expect that any ongoing project I would want to move to v2010 anyway, I'd still like access to the v2004 during the transition. Looking in my preferences folder I see the preferences file is named Finale 2004 Preferences so I assume that the two versions will keep separate preferences. Anything else I'm not thinking of? Question two: My current computer is nearing the end of its lifespan. It's a PowerBook G4 that I bought in 2003, running Mac OS X. 4.11. Since I'd rather make a smooth transition while it's still functional, rather than impromptu when it conks out, it has been my plan to buy a new computer some time this summer. I'm wondering if it would make sense to accelerate that plan, get the new computer now, and load the new Finale directly onto it. My tentative conclusion is that I'd rather not, since I've got plenty on my plate this month and I don't need the added headache of setting up a new computer with whatever unexpected glitches and required reinstallations come with it, at the same time I'm relearning Finale with a deadline coming up. Also, I'm not sure my budget is quite ready for it yet. But if there's some good reason why it would be advantageous to skip ahead now, I'd like to hear it. The specs for Finale v2010 say that G4 and OS 10.4 are sufficient. Can anyone confirm that from experience? I don't intend to run any of the Garritan stuff. (Indeed, I expect I won't even load it until I move to the new computer.) I haven't actually decided yet what new computer I'd get, but since I've been pretty satisfied with my old 15 PowerBook, my default assumption is that I'd get the closest equivalent, which I gather is the low-end 15 MacBook Pro. I realize I haven't posed much in the way of specific questions here, but if anyone knowledgeable out there has thoughts on my general situation, I would welcome them. thanks mdl ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

Re: [Finale] TAN: upgrade advice wanted
I run 2010 on an iBook G4 with 10.4, and it is a little logey. Okay, it's very logey. Turn off all those cute automatic update thingies (slows stuff down something terrible on this machine!) and sometimes when I am assigning articulations quickly I get ahead of what the machine can keep up with and the whole thing crashes. But it will work. I don't know if you need the MacBook Pro. I just got a regular MacBook for my wife, and it is a marvel! The main thing she is missing is FireWire, but she doesn't have any Firewire devices (only me!) Okay, I mean only _I_ have Firewire devices, not that I am a Firewire device. Sheesh!

Re: [Finale] TAN: upgrade advice wanted
If, indeed, Apple is coming out with new models momentarily then, of course, it's a good idea to wait a little. The grapevine is usually accurate about those things, and there are places people know to look for this kind of information. (I'm not one of them, but I bet Darcy is.) If money is an issue, existing Macbook models will drop lightly in price, as soon as new models arrive. My wife has a recent Macbook that is attached to a $300 28 Vizio monitor, and it is fast and reliable. I haven't used Finale on that setup, but there is a remarkable improvement in speed on my 27 iMac i5 (not the very fastest version) even over the G5 Power PC (non-Intel) Mac Pro. I expect that all Intel Macbooks would exhibit this speed improvement. Chuck On Mar 28, 2010, at 2:06 PM, Christopher Smith wrote: I run 2010 on an iBook G4 with 10.4, and it is a little logey.
