Well, whenever TGTools starts working again with Finale 2014 I'm sure these 
scripts would be great to have

[Finale] New Scripts

2013-12-24 Thread Gregory Theisen
Hi all,
I had fun creating my first scripts and I came up with 5 new scripts that work 
well for me in my workflow. They are:
Remove Higher notes Ctrl+N 
Remove Lower Notes Ctrl+B
Remove Ties Ctrl+T
Favor Flats Ctrl+A
Favor Sharps Ctrl+S

I use Hyperscore to input my music. I also use "Tie across bar-lines" and 
frequently get many unwanted ties. 
So I made the script "Remove Ties" and assigned it to Ctrl+T. This of course 
uses the wonderful JW plugin "JW untie notes" by Jari Williamssohn.

Here is the script for Removing Ties:
menu item "Plugins/JW Plugins/JW Untie Notes"

Also in Hyperscore, I get a lot of unwanted doubled notes due to my legato 
playing style.
So I created two scripts, one for removing the higher note, and one for 
removing the lower note:

Removing Higher Notes:
menu item "TGTools/Modify/Special Modifications..." 
choose menu item "Search And Modify"
check menu item "All single notes:"
Type 2 in "Nth note in chord (from top):"
check menu item "Keep only (erase others):"
Press "Go"

Removing Lower Notes:
menu item "TGTools/Modify/Special Modifications..." 
choose menu item "Search And Modify"
check menu item "All single notes"
Type 1 in "Nth note in chord (from top)"
check menu item "Keep only (erase others)"
Press "Go"

Many passages will use sharps and flats in the same score.It is always a pain 
to go and change these, so here is a script that changes them in a keystroke:

This one Favors Flats:
select window "Finale 2012/Enharmonic Spelling"
apply "Favor Flats"
menu item "Utilities/Respell Notes"


This one Favors Sharps:
select window "Finale 2012/Enharmonic Spelling"
apply "Favor Sharps"
menu item "Utilities/Respell Notes"

It is important to choose a keystroke that works for you and you'll be good to 
go!

Best,
Greg

[Finale] Resize notehead not working outside of staff

2013-12-24 Thread Dennis Bathory-Kitsz
Hi all,

Finale 2014 Windows.

I rarely use the resize notehead tool, and this may have been a bug that
existed earlier.

I'm putting in some lower octave cues for a high tenor line that is presently
in voice two. I'm finding that a notehead that...

- is in voice 2
- has any element outside the borders of the staff (that is, on a ledger line)
- has a note in voice 1 on that same beat

... won't resize any note on that voice 2 stem. That is, it doesn't work in
the ordinary click or the context menu. The option "resize notehead" isn't
available.

If I change the clef to bring the notes onto the staff, I can resize either
one of them, and then change the clef back.

Is this an old bug? New bug? Something I'm not doing right?

Thanks,
Dennis
