Re: [Finale] Change Instrument in FinMac2014?
OK. I'll give it a try next time out. Being the master of jazz textures, you might appreciate my latest arrangement -- (Every Time We Say Goodbye) -- where we wanted to take advantage of the bari sax player also being an alto flute double. So that chart is 2 C flutes, alto flute and 2 clarinets plus the normal brass mostly in mutes. (The chart wasn't 100% successful. I may still give it another revision, but the textures are cool.) This chart didn't have any instrument changes, but that band likes to use bass clarinet instead of bari and lots of combinations of saxes, flutes, and clarinets. So I'll have good opportunities to use this feature. And if the feature works that well, I might do more instrument changes. That keeps the players more engaged, and the audience is really captured by the doubling, especially in the front line (the sax section.) They haven't let me play cimbasso yet. :) On 4/6/2015 12:27 AM, Darcy James Argue wrote: Hi Craig, You should certainly be using the Change Instrument feature.

Hi all, As of Finale 2014, newly created custom smart lines default to attaching to noteheads. Is there a way to force them to attach to beats instead? It seems that only the pre-defined smart shapes are capable of being beat-attached?

Re: [Finale] Change Instrument in FinMac2014?
I think you are saying that fp and mute changes are broken in 2014 without regard to whether or not you use the Change Instrument feature. There are those problems and various other HP problems (note off coming too late, e.g.) that one really hopes will be fixed in the so-called 2014.5 release. But re: mute changes, if you are talking about the Garritan JABB3 library, I went around and around on that with support. Ultimately the answer was to go into the HP rules for Garritan and change the text string from jabb to jazz or maybe it was the other way around. That seemed to work in most cases, but not in cases where I used an older template. If I created a whole new template under 2014 and made those HP/Garritan rule changes, then the mutes worked in response to the standard mute expressions that come in when using the setup wizard. The exception was straight mute. Apparently HP gets confused with the ambiguity between straight mute and straight 8ths. So if I use the Straight expression that is clearly intended for straight mute, no keyswitch happens. However if I use the expression that simply says mute then straight mute is keyswitched. So in the worst case, I can show the Straight marking and include a hidden mute marking. I hope this makes a little sense. On 4/6/2015 2:54 PM, Chuck Israels wrote: Craig, I agree with Darcy.

Re: [Finale] Changing transposition mid piece
That's very strange. On my version of WinFin12c (that I just downloaded), Transposition is the fourth option under Appearance.

The Transpose feature in staff styles is essential not only for horns and trumpets that change keys a lot, but also for hiding clef changes in cues.

Thanks Raimond, that's what I used to do but it doesn't seem available any more.

Re: [Finale] Changing transposition mid piece
Transposition was removed from staff styles in the first release of Fin12, then added back in a subsequent update. Make sure your WinFin12 is the latest version.

Re: [Finale] Changing transposition mid piece
P.S. You are opening the Staff Style Define dialog, right? If you open the Staff Definition dialog by double-clicking the staff, it does not have the Transposition option.
