Re: {Spam} Re: [Finale] OT: Converting to PDF on a PC
No, it doesn't assault the user with ads. When you select doPDF as the printer driver, the program does its thing and presents you with a dialog box asking where you would like the pdf file saved. In this box is a single ad for another of their products. The only annoying thing I find with doPDF is that the dialog asking where to save the program doesn't always pop up on top of other windows, so it isn't always obvious that it is waiting for user input. But that's a small annoyance and easy to put up with once learns to look for the window. David H. Bailey On 11/20/2010 1:01 PM, Allen Fisher wrote: Hey David-- Looks cool.

Looks like he'll have to get a 3rd party program but I'm hoping someone can recommend a good share- or freeware option. The answer depends on the source from which the PDF is going to be created. For instance, if your friend has Office 2007 or 2010, PDF output is included (though with early releases of 2007, you had to download it and install it). I have used PDF995 for years, and also use PDFCreator (though the latter I use because I can programatically control it from VBA in my Access database applications -- it also works as a standard PDF printer, though). I don't know if either of those options have any compatibility issues with versions of Windows after WinXP, or if they run on 64-bit Windows. On my 64-bit Win7 machine I use a program called doPDF which is freeware and can be downloaded from http://www.dopdf.com/ -- on the PC, with such a program, it installs as a printer-driver which Ryan's friend would choose as the printer from whichever program he's trying to create PDF output from. I realize most PC users would understand that, but I thought I would include it for Ryan's sake, since he's on a Mac. doPDF allows you to select the folder to save the PDF file into. -- David H.

Re: {Spam} Re: [Finale] OT: historical use of C clefs for voice parts
C clef on the second line from the bottom equals horn in F. Add one flat.
Bass clef octave up equals horn in E (add 4 sharps) or horn in Eb (add 3 flats).
Alto clef equals horn in D (add 2 sharps) or horn in Db (add 5 flats).
Treble clef 8bassa equals horn in C.
Tenor clef equals horn in B natural (add 5 sharps - Brahms calls this Horn in
tiefes H or something the like). Or it equals horn in Bb basso (ad 2 flats).

Re: {Spam} Re: [Finale] OT: historical use of C clefs for voice parts
Thanks -- that's a big start. I remember seeing a horn method/exercise
book by Lorenzo Sansone years ago which had a full-page list of all the
clefs and the transpositions they were good for but like a fool I
neglected to photocopy it when I had the chance, and I don't live near a
music store which has the various Sansone books for me to locate the
correct one and on-line they're too expensive to buy them all hoping to
find that chart again.
Thanks,

Not sure what you mean by in reverse, David, but for the example you give both F horn and English horn--any F instrument, actually--you imagine its being in mezzo-soprano clef: middle C on the 2nd line. And in fact I DO think that way when I enter horn notes directly into a transposed score. For Eb alto sax I think bass clef, but have to remember the octave transposition. The one I've never quite figured out a trick for is Clarinet in A. It's just a minor third transposition, and shouldn't be that difficult, but my mind just doesn't wrap around it. Let's see, a written C5 sounds A4, so I need a clef that puts A4 on the 3rd space. French violin clef doesn't work. It has to be in the other direction. AHA!!! Soprano clef is the answer!!! (Middle C on the bottom line.) It's just that that's one clef I haven't used much, since most early music is more likely to use alto and tenor clefs. But Bach used it all the time. I will now remember that (and try to figure out the key signature adjustment-- +3 sharps, I think). John -- John R. Howell, Assoc.
