Re: [Finale] tuplets in Finale 2014
It works perfectly for me in Speedy - but I start by hitting option-5 on the Mac. It's also correct in Simple - enter dotted 8th + 8th, then use tuplet tool on the 1st note to make 5 1/16 in 4/16. (I've never used simple entry, so it wasn't quick!) JR On 1/2/14, 6:36 AM, David H.

Re: [Finale] tuplets in Finale 2014
To Use the tuplet tool - enter your first 16th, then click on it with tuplet tool, describe the 5 to 4, then go back, enter the rest of the figure and edit it as you wish. I have not tried 2014 yet, though. The above is how it works in 2011.

[Finale] repeating a section in only one line
In my current project I want to notate repeat signs in individual parts without their showing up in all the parts. How does one do this? I am running Finale 2014 under Windows 8. Aaron J. Rabushka ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
Re: [Finale] repeating a section in only one line
Please don't! Just copy and paste. Repeats are a relic from the days when evrything was hand copied. The don't save you time and are rarely needed today. Ones like you describe only serve to confuse performers.

Set-up a staff style to hide repeats and apply it staves where you do not want the repeats to show. John Blane Blane Music Preparation 1649 Huntington Ln.

Re: [Finale] repeating a section in only one line
Well, this is one of those techniques that borrows repeated ostinato from the Polish avant-garde of yesteryear, whose proper notation, IIRC, includes repeat signs. I like the staff-style idea--I think I'll give it a try. ajr Richard Smith mu...@rgsmithmusic.com wrote: Please don't! Just copy and paste.

I like the staff-style idea--I think I'll give it a try. Thanks for asking the question. Sounds like it will work. This interests me because I have a very large (1110-measure) high minimalist piece for orchestra, 2 pianos, 6 percussionists, chorus, and descant soprano where each part has separate repeat schemes (they all sync eventually). Each part has its own repeats in the parts (7x, 4x, etc.) and some begin and end mid-measure as well. This piece has been sitting around nicely inked since 1986 (it's only received 3 performances), waiting for the day when I really really (really) feel like engraving it Dennis ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
