Re: [Finale] Dynamics placement
Brilliant Don! GJB From: Don Hart To: Finale Sent: Friday, June 15, 2018 11:13 AM Subject: Re: [Finale] Dynamics placement When I've opened old files and encountered this situation I've had pretty good luck moving all the dynamics from the miscellaneous category to the dynamics category. Make sure the dynamics positioning is what you want, and you may have to "reset to category" all the expressions you moved and possibly select those expressions in the score and hit "clear," which resets to default category positioning. Good luck!

Re: [Finale] Dynamics placement
Yes! That might be a better solution than mine, unless you have a ilbrary with positions you’ve tweaked (which I do).

Re: [Finale] Dynamics placement
Additionally, you could change the settings for the dynamics already in the file without having to delete the old ones and reassign new ones. But it’s tedious; you have to edit each dynamic individually for its positioning and set it where you prefer. You may also have to tweak the position in you file after doing this. *** J D Thomas ThomaStudios > On Jun 15, 2018, at 5:33 AM, Christopher Smith > wrote: > > It sounds like you’re working on an old document, perhaps dating from before > automatic expression placements (that’s REALLY old!) > > What I would do is load a library of dynamics that have the placements set > already (almost any modern document, for example).

Re: [Finale] Dynamics placement
It sounds like you’re working on an old document, perhaps dating from before automatic expression placements (that’s REALLY old!) What I would do is load a library of dynamics that have the placements set already (almost any modern document, for example). You will have to remake all the metatools, though, if you want to use them. If you want to replace the existing dynamics, do this. Open up the Expression Selection dialogue box and delete the old dynamics one at a time. Each time you get the message “This is in use, what do you want to do?” you choose Replace and choose the new dynamic to replace it. Repeat this for the whole list. Now all your dynamics in the document will be the ones with automatic placement. You might have to select them all and hit the Clear button to remove manual adjustments, but from then on any new dynamics you enter will be right.

[Finale] Dynamics placement
Listers, I am using Finale 25 on a Mac running OS 10.13.5. My dynamics are being automatically placed directly on the note head instead of under. How do I fix this?
