[Finale] OT combining PDFs into one file, Mac OSX
Hi combined MacOSX wisdom, I have a whole bunch of single-page files that I want to combine into one PDF. I had heard this was possible in Preview on Mac, and sure enough I can copy pages from one PDF to another document, but then I can't save the result! If I save as then it only saves the single page I was showing at the time, and if I try to print and then save a PDF, it only prints the page I was showing at the time. I could have sworn this was possible, but I can't get it to work. Thanks in advance, Christopher ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

I think it's under File in the pulldown menu. Followed by Create pdf then Merge files into a single pdf. Usually then it's best to go Optimize and Reduce file size to get the size manageable.

[Finale] How do I insert 2 beats (part of a measure)?
I don't know how it happened, but 2 beats got left out of the middle of my concert score. So I want to insert them in again. It's half a measure, so I can't use Add measure stack. Is there a quick and easy way to do that?

[Finale] Playback ignores tie marks across measure lines.
This seems to occur more often when one is EDITING the score and places tie marks across bar lines. It treats the notes as sepaarate entities.

Re: [Finale] OT combining PDFs into one file, Mac OSX
Hi Chris, You aren't currently combining the documents in Preview, you are just viewing multiple documents from the same window. You can't save the result because you're not actually making any changes. Don't just drag new PDF pages into the sidebar, drag them ON TO the thumbnail at the top of the main PDF in the sidebar -- you will know you are doing it right if you get the green + icon on your pointer when you drag.

Re: [Finale] How do I insert 2 beats (part of a measure)?
You can select part of a measure by (in selection tool) pressing the left mouse button and dragging around the area you wish to select. I'm not sure exactly what you mean - do you mean there's a 2/4 bar instead of a 4/4 bar? You can double click on the bar using the time signature tool and change the time signature (ticking the -this bar only- box) Sorry if this isn't what you mean.

Re: [Finale] How do I insert 2 beats (part of a measure)?
Do you mean that all the music after the place where the two beats are missing is shifted two beats to the left? If that's the case, you can do this: - select all the measures from the one where the two beats are missing to the end of the piece. - drag and drop this selection two beats to the right. - at the appropriate place, paste in the two missed out beats. If you need to select part of a measure, you do it by drag selecting starting outside the staff.

Re: [Finale] How do I insert 2 beats (part of a measure)?
How about adding a 2/4 measure where you want it. Then before adding any notes, change the measure to whatever the surround time signature happens to be. Then add your notes. Readjust if necessary to get what you're looking for. That is if I understand your situation correctly.

Re: [Finale] OT combining PDFs into one file, Mac OSX
Darcy, That was it! I was dragging the new pages into the sidebar, but I WASN'T dragging them on TOP of the thumbnail, I was dragging them BELOW, where I thought I wanted them to go. I have to make sure I drag it to the LOWER 50% of the thumbnail, too, otherwise it will put it before the page I am dragging it onto, instead of after. This seems to have changed in the new OS, and the new behaviour is not accounted for in the help file. Eric, I saw the Automator idea once you clued me into it. I will certainly remember it for the next time, especially if the job is this big again!
