[Finale] WinFin on Surface Pro 3

2015-03-31 Thread Darcy James Argue
Hello all,

Has anyone been running Finale for Windows on the Surface Pro 3 tablet, and if 
so… how's that been going for you?

Also, any prognostication on how Fin2014 would perform on the just-announced 
Surface 3 (non-pro)?

Cheers,

- DJA

Re: [Finale] Does anybody think MM will ever fix the F2014 HP problems?

2015-03-31 Thread Darcy James Argue
Hi all,

I'm actually wondering whether anyone has any solutions to the fp problem in 
Fin2014, which is actually becoming a real problem for me. 

The Set Rhythmic Feel to 0% workaround is okay for the note-cutout problem, 
but the only solution I know to the almost-silent fp's is to put the notation 
in a layer set to not play back, then enter the music in a hidden layer with no 
fp's.

Cheers,

 There are all sorts of problems introduced in F2014 in the area of HP:
 
 - fp no longer works correctly
 
 - Scoops and falls almost never work right now
 
 - Often note-off comes AFTER note-on of the following note, causing the 
 second note to be chopped short or not sound at all.
 
 None of these things happened to me at 2012.  Many people have had these 
 problems, but the company seems to have no interest in correcting any 
 bugs (or no ability to do so), even these high-impact, pervasive things.
 
 Anybody placing any odds on whether we will ever see any fixes at the 
 2014 level?

Re: [Finale] Finalescript 2012 vs. 2014 + Edit page offset

2015-03-31 Thread João Pais
I had a follow-up question, if possible: is the script language the same in
Finale 2012 and 2014? Can both programs read the same scripts?

Btw, my OS is windows 7, 32b :)

Thank you,

On the finale forum, somebody discovered a reference to Finale 2014.5. 
  That was an accidental release by MakeMusic,  But to their credit, 
they did follow up with the posting repeated below.

I believe Mr. Tschiggfrie accepts private messages at the forum.  I 
suggest you ask him about fp, the scoops and falls, and the various 
other HP-related things.  He may not be able to give a specific answer, 
but it is worth a try.  At least we might find out if that is a 
priority.  Surely it should be.  I know many people are struggling with 
these playback bugs.

Another HP thing that seems to be a bug introduced with 2014 is that 
volumes are all over the place sometimes.  I have found that if you 
don't explicitly put a dynamic mark before and after each hairpin, you 
can't count on the playback.  And even when you do that, some 
instruments seem to be much lower in the mix than others even though 
they all have the same mixer settings.

We recently published an updated version of the User Manual that 
unintentionally included the information described in this thread.

As previously announced, our goal for Finale development going forward 
is to increase quality and improve user experience. Finale 2014.5, the 
next incremental update to Finale 2014, will continue our work toward 
modernizing Finale and improving its performance. We haven’t set a 
release date for the update, but already our development team has fixed 
numerous defects and are making use of the data collection we 
implemented in 2014d.

I’ve rolled back the online user manual to remove the information. While 
the release isn’t quite ready yet, rest assured that we’re well on our 
way to making Finale better than ever.

Happy musicking, Jon Tschiggfrie

Re: [Finale] Fwd: Finalescript 2012 vs. 2014 + Edit page offset

2015-03-31 Thread SN jef chippewa

joão, you need to select the insert text (in 
your case page number) and paste the offset you 
want to add to the default.

a 3rd-party script might be quicker and easier to 
manage, at least for this particular task.  i 
have never had much luck with finalescript and 
gave up trying to understand the mysteries of its 
opaque being long ago.

but you are more of a code geek than me, so maybe 
you have the patience and right type of brain 
circuits to be able to work with it :P

as far as i know there are no fundamental 
differences in finalescript for F2012 or F2014. 
check your what's new in Finale 2014 file (PDF).

[Finale] Fwd: Finalescript 2012 vs. 2014 + Edit page offset

2015-03-31 Thread João Pais
Hello list,

I had a couple of questions regarding finalescript:

- I notice that in fin2012 there are lots of crashes, just when navigating
the palette, but in fin2014 things seem to be ok. Is that your experience
as well?


- I was trying to write a plugin using the Edit Page Offset window. This
plugin works from a previously selected text element. Using the commands

text tool
press ctrl shift T

I get the edit frame attributes window for the selected element, as
expected. But, running

text tool
menu item Text/Edit Page Offset

I don't get the value for the selected element, but as if no element would
be selected.

So I would like to ask, is something wrong in the code, or does the Edit
Page Offset function loses the selection hook, and other functions don't?

Best,

jmmmp
