Re: [Finale] musx ≠ pdf for beam ext. / stem connect
this discrepancy seems to have been because i was using hidden noteheads (via JW change/noteheads/visibility), did some tests with different sizes of blank noteheads in my fonts and can find a workable solution. was using hidden noteheads and stems for very specific situations where the spacing shouldn't be affected by them but needed something there for enhanced beam extension control. so "hiding" them in speedy wasn't an option. but still wrong that the visualization in finale didn't correspond to the output!!! > any idea why the positioning is different on extended beams and stem > connections? in the pdf, finale is in the background, acrobat in the front. > > https://www.dropbox.com/s/9lkkta76i34lmjn/SN_beamext-stemconnect.pdf?dl=0 > > the stem connection is set up in finale and already what it looks like in the > stem connections library and what it looks like on the page are different, > and a 3rd version happens when printing to pdf (with the system or with > acrobat professional). > > also the beam extensions do not behave right, the output is not what i input. > obviously in a score like this, that is a really big problem! > > any ideas? -- neueweise -- fonts for new music and traditional notation http://newmusicnotation.com/fonts shirling & neueweise | http://newmusicnotation.com new music notation + translation + arts management [FB] http://facebook.com/neueweise| [TW] http://twitter.com/neueweise ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu https://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale To unsubscribe from finale send a message to: finale-unsubscr...@shsu.edu
[Finale] musx ≠ pdf for beam ext. / stem connect
any idea why the positioning is different on extended beams and stem connections? in the pdf, finale is in the background, acrobat in the front. https://www.dropbox.com/s/9lkkta76i34lmjn/SN_beamext-stemconnect.pdf?dl=0 the stem connection is set up in finale and already what it looks like in the stem connections library and what it looks like on the page are different, and a 3rd version happens when printing to pdf (with the system or with acrobat professional). also the beam extensions do not behave right, the output is not what i input. obviously in a score like this, that is a really big problem! any ideas? -- neueweise -- fonts for new music and traditional notation http://newmusicnotation.com/fonts shirling & neueweise | http://newmusicnotation.com new music notation + translation + arts management [FB] http://facebook.com/neueweise| [TW] http://twitter.com/neueweise ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu https://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale To unsubscribe from finale send a message to: finale-unsubscr...@shsu.edu
Re: [Finale] retain beaming breaks when copying
hey gerald, thanks. something along the lines like that would work in some cases but here even when there are no beams across barlines, the beamed subdivisions of the measure are different in each voice. > I have gone to the lengths of copy measure then, insert measure then, change > time signature and rebar.

Re: [Finale] retain beaming breaks when copying
I have gone to the lengths of copy measure then, insert measure then, change time signature and rebar. Use the detritus to whatever luck. Best I got.

[Finale] retain beaming breaks when copying
need help with a solution to nasty (default) behaviour. (F25) bajillions of 8th notes in various beaming groupings (beams and stems) i set up several patterns for it, but when copying these patterns to non-whole measures starting on different positions within the (constantly changing) meter and the beaming reverts to the defaults set in the time sig for the measure. i've tried patterson mass copy with limited results, and the way these are set up and because the patterns change constantly it is better to rebeam manually. as an example (full measure copying works), in the attached pdf the selected 3 beats in snare 5 are the pattern i pasted -- the result before pasting was identical to the previous measure. mostly i paste with "show active layer only", and some of these work but once an interlocking pattern is copied into remaining (empty) beats in the measure the stuff goes wacky. please tell me there is something i am overlooking... i have done 15 pp and have another 60 to go :-/ https://www.dropbox.com/s/zpix4pkt6i7vrpr/SN_8ths-beam-break.pdf?dl=0 -- neueweise -- fonts for new music and traditional notation http://newmusicnotation.com/fonts shirling & neueweise | http://newmusicnotation.com new music notation + translation + arts management [FB] http://facebook.com/neueweise| [TW] http://twitter.com/neueweise ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu https://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale To unsubscribe from finale send a message to: finale-unsubscr...@shsu.edu
