[Finale] Out of Range Notes in Finale 2012b
I notice that Finale has started to do the Sibelius thing of changing the colour of selected notes when it thinks it's out of range. (When did this happen?) Does anyone know if there's a way to switch this off? Thanks, Colin. -- Colin Broom -- ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

Or you can change the color of the Out-of-Range Notes under Preferences/DisplayColors -- change it to be black. -- David H.

[Finale] Ranges in Score Manager

Re: [Finale] Ranges in Score Manager
Apparently in an upcoming upgrade they will allow edits to the ranges. I noticed right away that they expect Maynard Ferguson on trumpet (high A) as well as the principal bassoon with the NY Phil (high E), but the trombone and tuba ranges are approximately high school senior level, topping off at Bb.

Yes, the trombone range limit is annoying. I'm finally getting used to the fact that many of my trombone player friends play Dbs with ease. But the low Db (written Bb) limit for the bari sax reminds me to correct older scores written for players who had the extra low A that throws the horn out of whack for some serious players. The guys I work with now don't have it, and opening an older score and seeing the out of range note jump out can be helpful.

[Finale] Advice on drum set notation
There is a style of drum set notation that has slash notation in the measures, but the punches are written as regular notes above the percussion staff. I can't figure out how to make this happen in Finale. I trued using a second voice for the punches, but if the measure is set to slash notation, none of the notes will display, regardless of how many voices are used. Any suggestions? ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
[Finale] F2012 gets really slow rendering WAV
If I have my instruments set to MIDI, I can render to WAV quickly. But if my instruments are set to VST, there seems to be a problem where the software bogs down slower and slower. If my score is only 75 measures, I can render, but if it is 120 measures, it gets so slow that I think it will probably never finish. To get a VST rendering, I had to break my score into two chunks and then stitch the two WAV files together with Audacity. Anybody else see this? It is no better in the 2012B release. I am using Windows 7. ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

I use slash notation on layer 4, and make sure you check 'view [everything] in other layers. Then put UP staff stuff in layer 1, DOWN staff in layer 3, and the bizarre stuff in layer 3.

Re: [Finale] F2012 gets really slow rendering WAV
Craig, In FinWin2011 and earlier versions, I have had spotty results with the export to audio function when using VST and Garritan. Sometimes it works without a hitch, sometimes I get results that sound nothing like what I hear - and sometimes the results change in the middle of a project. When the results become unsatisfactory, I simply record straight from playback to Audacity. To do this without an output-input cable to your soundcard requires a soundcard that will duplex, I believe is the term. You can tell if you have one of those, and if Audacity recognizes it, if when you open Audacity, one of your record options (in the little window by the pic of the microphone) you have an option to record what U hear. Another option is to record to an outboard digital recorder, or to Audacity on another computer.

Re: [Finale] Advice on drum set notation
Hi Craig, Create a new staff style, one that uses slashes as the alternate notation, but has Show Notes In Other Layers checked. (And use layers, not voices, which I think is what you meant.)

Re: [Finale] Advice on drum set notation
That is getting closer to what I need. My other message was in error. I said I didn't apply a staff style and instead simply clicked on the measure from within the staff tool and set alternate notation. That has the undesirable result of setting EVERY measure to slash notation. I think I get what I need by modifying the definition for slash notation to show notes in all other layers, which is similar to your suggestion. Thanks.

Re: [Finale] Advice on drum set notation
I think I have mostly figured this out. You don't apply the slash style. Instead you put the punches into layer 2, then select the staff tool. Double click the measure and select alternate notation. In the alternate notation, you select slash notation applied to layer 1, then under all other layers check the Notes box. That seems to work, but maybe somebody has a more straightforward approach.
