[Finale] Bizarre audio bleed
There must be a plausible explanation for this, but even as I replicate it I find it hard to believe. I’m just curious whether anyone else has experienced this, perhaps with a different instrument like an acoustic piano. I’m using Simple Entry (sometimes with, sometimes without, a midi keyboard) in Fin 2014 on an iMac (Yosemite). As usual, since I go back and forth between recording in Cubase and transcribing in Finale, I have a Yeti Pro USB mike connected to the computer, for both audio in and out (headphones plugged into the mike). I also have a nylon string classical guitar nearby for ideas and to check playability. Often I’ll enter a measure or two, then pick up the guitar and figure out the next couple measures. Today I noticed that when I returned to the screen I would see anywhere from one to half a dozen grayed out new notes, mostly on ledger lines way below the staff — i.e. way below the range of the instrument. It is similar to what happens if you inadvertently brush the QWERTY keyboard or midi keyboard or mouse in Simple Entry. I thought at first that I’d jiggled something to produce the notes. Then I caught the crime in progress. The rogue notes would appear if I plucked a string on the guitar hard enough — especially bass strings — and not otherwise. It was not spontaneous. The pitches don’t match exactly — even figuring in the octave difference in guitar notation — but generally are lower if the pitch is lower. Below a certain threshold it doesn’t happen. Has to be fairly loud. WTF? No, I’m not recording audio in Finale (nor am I running recording software at the moment). It’s just a classical guitar with no electronic connection of any kind. The mic does pick up the guitar but I have done nothing that would make Finale even aware of the mic, much less treat it as in input mode for notation. Hyperscribe is not active. It’s not just that Finale is responding to an audio signal; it’s that it is apparently trying to convert it to notation. Not accurately. But how does it even “hear” the guitar at all? ___ 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] Re: Hide Chords and Lyrics Again

Define the staff, and set the baseline position relative to the staff so that the lyric is off the page. So let's say you're doing multiple verses in a grand staff, and you want to hide the lyric for verse 3, and we'll assume further that you're using 8-1/2 x 11 inch (or for European readers, A4) paper. If you set the baseline for the lyric you want to hide at a +18 inches, the lyric will print well off the paper, and not be visible. I've never used chords, but I assume that the same principle might be applicable in that subsystem, as well. ns Thanks Noel and Christopher. I see that my 2009 does include lyrics and chords as a staff attribute, while 2004 does not. For what I usually do, 2004 has been familiar and hassle-free, so inertia has kept me with it so far. Oh well. Either Noel's ingenious kludge or change over. Speaking of upgrades, I note that the Garritan sounds still do not include nylon string guitar.

[Finale] Hide Chords and Lyrics Again
I have that uh-oh feeling that the answer to this is so obvious that I'm going to be embarrassed. But I'll ask it again anyhow.

I don't see it in the staff attributes dialog, or in the chord or measure pull-downs. Oh, 2004.
