Re: [Finale] OS X Lion

2011-07-21 Thread Florence + Michael 
Finale isn't working at all for me with Lion. After downloading and installing 
Lion, I launched Finale 2011. I got a message saying that Java Runtime was 
needed. That's normal. Java was downloaded and Finale launched OK. However, now 
it crashes each time I try to launch it. I'm waiting for a reply from tech 
support, but maybe somebody here has an idea. I've already trashed the 
preferences and plist files: what else could I try?

Best wishes,

Michael

 Hi all,
 
 So, anyone try installing the new OS yet? Obviously I'd be interested to hear 
 about any issues with Finale -- especially considering that only 
 Intel-compatible versions of Finale will run on Lion.
 
 Cheers,

[Finale] attacca, segue

2011-07-21 Thread Ryan 
Hi list,

What are the exact meanings of the terms attacca and segue? I imagine
that common usage of these terms might have strayed from the original
meanings. I've seen attacca segue in plenty of Broadway shows I've
performed, but is it redundant?

Re: [Finale] attacca, segue

2011-07-21 Thread Christopher Smith 
They both actually mean the same thing musically; to go on to the next part 
without a pause. To use both is redundant.

In practice, attacca almost always means to continue literally on the next 
beat, so that you can't even tell by the rhythm that you changed pieces.

Segue, though, can mean the same as attacca, or it can mean to take a breath 
and go on. It varies from community to community. In shows I used to write 
notes to myself like applause segue, meaning that I give the next downbeat 
just as the applause peaks, giving musicians a chance as well to change their 
music pages. In my mind, it was different from attacca, which I only used in 
the literal sense to indicate that the change of page didn't mean to pause at 
all.

Broadway shows are notorious for misusing Italian musical terms, though, so 
don't go by them as an example.
