Re: [Finale] Glyph issues with Aruvarb

[Darcy James Argue]

Hi Steve,

Thanks! The problem actually turned out to be a perfect storm of user error:

1) I was not aware that Unicode fonts, like Aruvarb, must NOT be added to 
MacSymbolFonts.txt or they will not display correctly.

2) I had Aruvarb included in the MacSymbolFonts.txt file in my MacHD/Library… 
folder, and since the font was working for me, I concluded that this meant the 
font SHOULD be included in MacSymbolFonts.txt.

3) But as it turns out, the MacSymbolFonts.txt I was looking at was actually 
being overriden by the MacSymbolFonts.txt in my user Library… folder — and in 
that version, Aruvarb was NOT included in the file.

As a result of the above, I gave the incorrect instructions to my collaborator 
that the font needed to be included in MacSymbolFonts.txt, when in fact the 
opposite was true. My bad!

Cheers,

[Finale] Glyph issues with Aruvarb

[Darcy James Argue]

Hello list,

Am I right that that there are others on this list who are using Aruvarb (Jan 
Angermüller’s adaptation of Bravura for Finale) as their music font?

If so, could I ask about a strange problem I have encountered?

I’m sharing files using Aruvarb with a collaborator. I’m using the most recent 
OTF version of Aruvarb — this version of the font is billed as Windows-only — 
it is missing the characters in slots 129-159 in macOS — but other than that it 
works for my purposes, as those characters are duplicated in other slots.

My collaborator has installed the same version of Aruvarb on his iMac, but when 
he opens my Finale files, most of the glyphs show up as a boxed “?”. We are 
both running Finale v25.5 on macOS.

Curiously, the glyphs do display correctly on his laptop, but not on his iMac. 
The glyphs also show up correctly in Finale 2014.5 on both machines.

We have tried:

- adding Aruvarb to the MacSymbolFonts.txt file
- removing the OTF version of Aruvarb and installing the TTF version
- clearing the macOS font cache from the Terminal, then restarting the iMac
- reinstalling Finale

We have also tried removing this version and installing the older, deprecated 
version of Aruvarb available from the elbsound site, which is supposed to be 
fully macOS compatible. When we do, we have the opposite problem — most glyphs 
show up correctly for my collaborator, but on my MacBook Pro, many symbols are 
mapped incorrectly. For instance, on my system, glyph #250, which is supposed 
to be the half note glyph, is a parenthesized downbow-upbow pair.

I vaguely recall having this problem when I first installed Aruvarb, but for 
the life of me I cannot recall what I did to fix it. It’s also very mysterious 
that the glyphs display correctly on my collaborator’s laptop but not his iMac 
— both are running the same OS (macOS 10.12.6) and the same version of Finale.

Any assistance or insight would be greatly appreciated!

[Finale] Glissando (tab slide) smart line playback in HP

[Darcy James Argue]

Hi all,

Is there any way to get Human Playback to correctly play back glissandos 
(straight gliss line using “tab slide” smart shape) when there are notes that 
are both the endpoint of one gliss and the beginning of another?

The results are fine when the tab slide just connects two pitches, but as soon 
as you want to gliss from an arrival note to another note, the results are 
invariably catastrophic.

I've tried moving the notation to a hidden layer, which lets me split arrival 
notes into two tied notes (which kinda sorta works, sometimes). But then adding 
a display-only layer that also includes the necessary glissandos for display 
screws up the gliss playback of the hidden layer, even with "Playback" 
unchecked in the display-only layer.

Any solution that does not involve making a separate file for playback?

Re: [Finale] 3/2 vs. 6/4

[Darcy James Argue]

The difference between a barline accent and an internal semi-stressed bear is 
not subtle! And if we are talking about a musical gesture which extends a 
phrase from 4/4 to 6/4 (or 3/2), chopping that extended measure up into three 
smaller measures obscures rather than clarifies.

Really, the only reason to object to 6/4 subdivided 2+2+2 is that it's (mildly) 
unconventional. But conventions can and should evolve over time along with the 
music.

Please note that I'm not saying that 3/2 is *never* the right choice when you 
want 2+2+2. Only that (especially in a multi-metric piece where every other 
time sig is x/4 and the pulse does not change) there are many good reasons why 
a contemporary composer might prefer  6/4 instead of 3/2 to indicate duple 
meter. That honestly doesn't seem like it ought to be such a controversial 
statement. 

Cheers,

Re: [Finale] 3/2 vs. 6/4

[Darcy James Argue]

Breaking up the bar asymmetrically like that might work in certain situations, 
but there are many cases where it will not, and 6/4 really is the best answer. 

YMMV as they say, but I never lose any sleep over using a binary 6/4 and it has 
never caused any confusion for performers.

Re: [Finale] 3/2 vs. 6/4

[Darcy James Argue]

Hi all,

The conventional answer is 3/2, because as you say, traditionally 6/4 is 
compound meter. 

I personally ignore this convention for exactly the reason you describe — that 
it suggests that the underlying X/4 pulse changes, and that is unintentional. 
In a mixed-meter piece, going from 4/4 to 3/4 to 5/4 to 3/2 causes needless 
confusion.

Sometimes, conventions are dumb.

Re: [Finale] Install Finale 2010 on Mac OS Siera 10.12

[Darcy James Argue]

Hi Mike,

All new Macs come with macOS Sierra and it’s not possible to install an older 
OS. Finale 2010 is definitely not supported on Sierra. If you buy a new Mac you 
will also need to upgrade to Finale v25.

Hi folks. Want to buy a new computer, but don't want to upgrade to Finale  
2012 (it doesn't back up as well as 2010) or 2014 (reading what you-all say

Anyone know any reason I can't install Finale 2010 on a new mac, per above?  
Anyone know for sure that I can?

[Finale] iKey/yKey replacement — must have simulated mouse clicks

[Darcy James Argue]

Hi all,

It seems that simulated mouse clicks no longer work in yKey (formerly iKey) as 
of OS X 10.11 — at least, I have not been able to get them to work.

Is there a replacement Mac macro app that does simulated mouse clicks that 
works correctly under El Capitan and Sierra?

I know Keyboard Maestro is well-regarded and (notwithstanding the name) 
simulated mouse clicks are advertised as being part of the feature set, but 
could anyone confirm that this feature does in fact work in 10.11 and 10.12?

Cheers,

Re: [Finale] Printing 8.5"x11" PDF 2-up to 12"x18" paper

[Darcy James Argue]

Yes, but that process is extremely slow and cumbersome when working with a 
large number of files.

I found this solution, which is very good and speeds things up considerably. 
It’s still a 2-step solution, which is less than ideal. And and it’s not smart 
enough to automatically switch to Straight Page Order for 2-page originals when 
printing in Folded Booklet Order (so you have to manually exclude 2-page 
originals) but it’s FAR better than doing it manually.

[Finale] Printing 8.5"x11" PDF 2-up to 12"x18" paper

Hello, 

Does anyone have a good solution for printing 8.5”x11” PDFs 2-up onto 12”x18” 
paper that both enlarges the image the correct amount and preserves equidistant 
margins?  

The app Bookbinder’s Collator does this perfectly when making booklets, but it 
is not able to do regular 2-up. And neither Preview nor Adobe Reader seem to 
offer sufficient control over the enlargement or the inner margins.

Re: [Finale] yKey (iKey) "Move To" shortcuts no longer work in 10.11

[Darcy James Argue]

Hi Chuck,

Thanks. I seem to recall you having serious issues with SmartScroll in the 
past, no? 

Also, can any current yKey users confirm?

How do Mac users who use a trackpad as their primary input device deal with 
this issue? Scrolling with the trackpad in Page View has been horribly broken 
in Finale for a while now, but there is no keyboard shortcut to advance or 
retreat in Scroll View by one measure.

[Finale] yKey (iKey) "Move To" shortcuts no longer work in 10.11

[Darcy James Argue]

Hi all,

I know Apple just released macOS 10.12 but I just recently upgraded to OS X 
10.11.6 and am still trying to work out all the kinks.

One major kink is that yKey (formerly iKey) shortcuts that involve simulating 
mouse movements (“Move To”) no longer seem to work.

I’m not sure if any yKey users have found a solution to this?

The only Finale command I need a simulated mouse click for is to 
advance/retreat one measure in Scroll View — but I REALLY need a keyboard 
shortcut for that, as trying to accurately scroll right or left using a Magic 
Trackpad is still basically impossible, even in Finale v25.

Since Finale does not have a menu command or a built-in shortcut key for 
advance/retreat one measure, the only way to get a shortcut for this is to 
simulate a mouse click on the measure forward/back buttons. But OS X 10.11 
seems to have rendered that part of yKey non-functional… unless I’m missing 
something?

Hi all,

Can anyone else confirm this? (MacFin v25 on OS X 10.11.6)

Steps:

1) Launch Finale with a known good set of preferences.

2) Hold down option and go View > Program Tool Set 1

3) File > Save Preferences

4) Quit Finale

5) Re-launch Finale. Finale will crash on quit.

Can anyone reproduce?

[Finale] Shortening the Tool Palette in MacFin25

[Darcy James Argue]

Hi all,

Getting set up with Mac Finale v25 for the first time, and it seems that there 
isn’t any way to shorten the Tool Palette?

I believe ever since I began using Finale (3.0), it has been possible to 
eliminate tools from the tool set by resizing it. I keep mine in a single 
horizontal strip, and would like to eliminate the (useless) Zoom Tool and Hand 
Grabber Tool from my Tool Palette. In every other version, I have done this by 
programming a custom tool set that those tools positioned to the far right of 
the palette, then dragging to the left to shorten the palette by two positions.

In v25, if I do this, the palette resizes itself into two horizontal rows. 
After that, you can shorten to your heart’s content, but unless I’m missing 
something, there does not seem to be any way to shorten the Tool Palette when 
it is a single horizontal strip.

Cheers,

Re: [Finale] Getting JABB and GPO to work in Finale 2014.5 Mac + ARIA

[Darcy James Argue]

So, eventually, after tediously trying multiple installs, I finally managed to 
manually locate and remove all Garritan and Plogue files from my computer. I 
had had already tried Library/Application Support, ~/Library/Application 
Support, and ~/Library/Preferences, but it turns out there are also files in 
Library/Audio that need to be removed to get a clean reinstall. (ARIA really 
needs to come with an uninstaller.) 

I also had to remove all sample files.

After that, doing a complete reinstall in the following order worked:

GPO4
JABB3
Finale 2014.5 (Garritan Instruments and ARIA player)
ARIA Player v1.872

An absolute nightmare that took untold hours, but at least I’ve got the GPO and 
JABB instruments back.

In future, it would be nice to know if there were a less brute-force method.

Hi all,

Can someone explain what the trick is to get the latest version of ARIA Player 
to recognize GPO4 and JABB3?

I’ve followed the instructions here:

http://makemusic.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5381/~/setting-up-garritan-sound-libraries-in-finale-and-printmusic

The result is that instrument libraries show up as options in Finale 2014.5, 
but the instrument samples don’t load.

I’ve also tried directing ARIA (latest version) to my Applications folder, 
which contains the “Garritan Jazz and Big Band 3” and “Garritan Personal 
Orchestra 4” folders. These libraries then show up as “User” libraries in the 
ARIA player but the samples still don’t load.

Has anyone gotten this to work?

Cheers,

Re: [Finale] grace notes in voiced linked parts

[Darcy James Argue]

Rather than extract the parts, you could add new hidden staves to the score and 
copy/explode the instruments to separate staves — plugins make this easier. 

That way you can at least keep all of the parts in the same file, which makes 
updating and printing them much, much easier.

Re: [Finale] Finale failings

[Darcy James Argue]

Craig,

When the two chords are stacked vertically, with a horizontal line separating 
them, they are played as a polychord, e.g.

F#
—
C

Chord inversions and chords with an alternate bass are both displayed with a 
diagonal slash, e.g.,

F#/C

(Sometimes the alternate bass is subscript but the important variables here are 
the diagonal slash and the lack of vertical stacking.)

Cheers,

F#/C#min7 isn't directly supported by the Chord Tool but there are several

"Hi had it confirmed yesterday by finale that they do not support poly chords"

I have no idea what you are talking about.

"• Alternate Bass: Type a slash (/), an underscore (SHIFT+hyphen), or a bar 
symbol (|) to indicate whether an alternate bass note should appear next to, 
below, or slightly to the right of the chord, respectively. Finale knows that 
what you type after the slash, underscore or bar is the alternate bass note for 
the chord."

 My workflow (Mac) is to use Booklet Creator. I could swear I got it for free, 
 but that was many years ago. It seems it is now $9.99 in the app store.
 
 My first step is to make a pdf file of the Finale file. I work, as much as I 
 can, in 9x12. I keep this as a my reference file. I like storing pdf because 
 my publisher wants my music this way (in non-booklet form), and because 
 nothing in the score is subject to upgrades and feature adds (things that, 
 over the past 25 years, orphaned some of my older music).
 
 Booklet Creator puts itself into the print dialog's pdf drop down menu. So I 
 open my 9x12 pdf score in Preview, make sure I've selected Paper Size 9x12 
 and Fill entire paper, then, in the pdf drop down menu, choose Create 
 Booklet. My booklet is made in about 2 seconds. I print (to my HP5000) with 
 this workflow:
 Paper size is 12x18
 Fill entire paper is selected.
 Paper Handling is set to odd only (then, for the second pass, even only. 
 The paper goes straight through to the back exit in the printer, so it is 
 ready to flip without any reordering. After the second pass, it is ready to 
 staple.
 
 The whole thing is very fast. I need to get up once to flip all the pages. 
 When I quit, the booklet goes away unless I choose to save it.
 
 The issues: One needs to do a fair amount of back-and-forth folding to get 
 this to stay open. I usually forward fold the whole book, then bend it 
 completely backwards at every page. For more than 12 pages (three sheets of 
 paper), the edge sticks out in a pronounced way. You need a really good paper 
 trimmer to straighten that out.
 
 Even still, this is the method of printing with which I am happiest.

Re: [Finale] 12x18 booklet printing workflow

I have a duplexer for the Ricoh but (in another difference from the AP2610) it 
does not handle any custom sizes — so duplexing 9x12 must be done manually.

How do you print to booklet directly from Finale?

 Depending on the size of the project, I might print to a booklet directly

 Otherwise I print to PDF, then use PDFClerkPro to do the impositions. You 
 might check to see if Preview can do impositions. It's received a few updates 
 in the last couple OSes, IIRC. 
 
 My HP Laserjet 5200dtn is still going strong after ten years. Good to know 
 that the Ricoh is available in case I need it. It's rare that the duplexer 
 unit will handle a large size like 12x18.

the 12x18 signatures? Are there apps that people would recommend for this 
purpose? I have Bookbinder's Collator, but it's not the most intelligent piece 
of software I've ever used.

Re: [Finale] disable human playback

Hi Jan,

Are you positive that this text expression has the result you describe? That is 
definitely not what happens on my system (FinMac 2014d). As far as I know, it 
is not possible to turn off HP on a staff-by-staff basis.

 I often apply it to the drumset staff as it seems to sound more stable

Re: [Finale] Special tools custom stem tool triplets

Hi Chris,

Shortening the stem does not hide the flag.

It's not possible to create a stemless notes staff style that only affects a 
particular layer. That's the first thing I checked!

 Another possibility is creating a Staff Style with no stems affecting only

Re: [Finale] disable human playback

[Darcy James Argue]

The Apply Human Playback plugin in its current form is a disaster. It's utterly 
unusable. The MIDI data it writes is completely different from the data HP 
actually employs during live playback. I don't know why this is — it used to 
work much better than it does.

The only current solution for creating an audio mockup that mixes swing and 
non-swing playback is to export the audio file twice, once with swing on and 
once with swing off, then combine the two using an audio editor. I recommend 
adding two bards of quarter-note cross-stick click out front on both files to 
help you align them.

Needless to say this is extremely tedious.

 Theoretically, you can turn OFF HP, and then apply it to selected passages

 discontiguous passages to be selected, so you have to do it this way. Make 
 sure you select the entire measure stack to apply the plugin.
 
 I say “theoretically” because I have had bad luck with this. I don’t know why 
 it doesn’t work for me. I’ll try again once I have 2014 up and running. It’s

Re: [Finale] Special tools custom stem tool triplets

[Darcy James Argue]

Hi Steve,

I'm also surprised you can't reproduce.

With these steps, I can reproduce 100% of the time:

1) Create a tuplet — in 4/4, a half-note triplet would be best because it fills 
the bar.

2) Using the custom stem tool, apply a blank shape to the stem of the first 
tuplet.

3) Copy that measure to another measure, either vertically or horizontally.

4) The tuplet has been deleted and a new measure has been created to house the 
overflow half note.

As far as I can tell, Mass Copy does not copy entires. I would first have to 
copy the entries. Doing so results in the overflow tuplets going into a (newly 
created) measure added to the score after the target measure, so — unless 
there's a trick I'm not aware of — Mass Copy does not help.

[Finale] HP Processing Glissandi Bends with HP Style Jazz

[Darcy James Argue]

Hi all,

Has anyone observed the following behavior?

With HP set to Standard, HP pre-playback processing takes a normal amount of 
time.

With HP set to Jazz, HP seems to stall on Processing Glissandi  Bends, 
taking up to 30 seconds to complete this step of the pre-playback processing, 
even on a relatively short piece?

Unchecking Interpret: Glissandi and Bends in the HP Custom Style dialog box has 
no effect.

FinMac2014d. (The file probably requires some smart shape glissandi and/or 
bends to trigger the issue.)

 Hidden layers through staff styles can be used as spacing layers, so I 
 personally see this is a feature rather than a limitation.
 
 Use...
 JW Change-Note Entries-Spacing-Don't Space

Re: [Finale] Windows Surface Pro 3/StaffPad Update

Hi Robert,

Thanks for the frank update. Your impressions match up with those of a 
colleague of mine, who had been quite enthusiastic about migrating from Mac OS 
X to a Windows-based machine, but ultimately ended up really regretting the 
move.

Should you opt for the repair and continue to use the device, I'd be curious 
whether having Windows 10 changes your impressions at all, and also whether you 
find Finale useable on the tablet.

 As many of you know, I got a Windows Surface Pro 3 to try out StaffPad.
 Unfortunately it is (literally) a bust.
 
 But first, the good. The handwriting recognition with the pen is fantastic.
 This is the one thing that Microsoft has gotten right on this device.
 Unfortunately everything else about it is wrong, and that includes the way
 the pen interacts with the rest of the OS. The only way to enter text with
 the pen is through the clumsy pop-up keyboard. If you have to use a pop-up
 keyboard, then why bother with a pen?
 
 Apps that use the Metro interface work better than traditional apps. Using
 traditional apps can be excruciating if they aren't designed to adjust to
 the UI size settings. And many of them aren't.
 
 As for Staffpad, it may be possible for someone to develop the magical
 looking facility one sees in the promo videos, but I doubt I ever will.
 With effort I can usually get it to recognize the notes on the staff, but
 rhythms involving more than one beam are basically impossible for me. My
 impression is they designed the interface around the writing style of one
 particular individual, and all other users are out of luck if they can't
 adopt that style. I don't seem to be able to. Even more frustrating is
 there is no way to see what the heck is confusing it. (There is a
 cumbersome UI that purports to do this one stroke at a time, but if it
 works I can't figure out how.) Pen-based music scoring may be the future,
 and StaffPad may point the way, but the future is not here yet.
 
 The final nail in the coffin came today when I dropped the device. It
 didn't fall that hard, but the screen cracked anyway. So fine, the screen
 cracked. Perhaps I could live with it, but the entire touchscreen became
 completely unresponsive. Compare this with Apple devices where the screen
 can be so cracked you can't see through it, but the touch sensitivity still
 works.
 
 Even worse, my only option for a repair is to exchange the device for a
 different one for a hefty $320. No screen repair available, and I have to
 send it off and be without a device for however long it takes. Compare that
 to booking a time at the Apple Store and having it repaired while you wait.
 
 There are many other annoyances, like the trackpad on the keyboard that
 constantly activates links or buttons without having being pressed or the
 pen button that is hardwired to oneclick or the crapware that came
 installed with Windows 8. (I have since upgraded to Win10.) All in all,
 this experience has been an expensive but useful lesson that I must never
 think of going back to windows. I'm so glad I still have the trusty MacBook
 Pro.

Re: [Finale] Spacing option for leger lines?

[Darcy James Argue]

Hi Robert,

In case you're taking requests — is there any way the plugin could 
automatically tighten the space between ledger lines on reduced-note size 
passages, like cues? Currently, Finale spaces cues as if they have full-sized 
ledger lines, which is obviously extremely tedious to correct manually.

Cheers,

 One finger per string.  With a bit of preparation time I reckon I could 
 pluck all four strings of my upright bass pretty close to

 the higher instruments on which four-part pizzicato chords sound OK, 
 which they don't, to my ear, on the bass, because in that register it's 
 not possible to finger a chord that is sufficiently spread.

 the speed of the arpeggiating in Finale's playback that you dislike? What

Re: [Finale] improving speed in F2014 (mac)?

[Darcy James Argue]

Hi Jef,

In my experience, Finale is very unstable with MIDI Thru set to off. I set it 
to a Fixed channel that is not in use (like, channel 99, for example).

Probably won't help with performance but might help with stability.

Finale also seems to do best with a minimum of 30 GB of free HD space. When my 
drive starts filling up much more than that, the VM use causes Finale to really 
crawl.

 another option you could consider short of upgrading the entire machine is
 replacing your system drive (and any other drive) with a solid state drive.
 this is probably the single most effective speed upgrade you could make.
 you get ones that are plug-compatible with the internal drives of most

Re: [Finale] OT: Low end Surface Pro 3 with StaffPad

[Darcy James Argue]

Keep in mind the Surface 3 is actually a much newer machine than the Surface 3 
Pro — the Surface 3 Pro was released over a year ago, while the Surface 3 came 
out in May of this year. While the Pro machine has more raw power, the Surface 
3 has the benefit of an additional year's worth of RD, which is a lifetime 
when it comes to these devices.

Also keep in mind that the Surface 4 Pro is expected in August.

 I went through this evaluation myself and ended up in a completely 
 different place than I expected.  I found a video out there where a guy 
 benchmarked the Surface 3 against the Surface 3 Pro running a bunch of 
 DAW configurations.  Both machines ran these power-hungry DAWs 
 surprisingly well.  The Pro could do more extreme stuff, but I don't 
 think you will ever see a meaningful difference when running StaffPad.
 
 And ironically, the video seemed to actually recommend the cheaper 
 non-Pro model because the Pro model's CPU speed is unpredictable as 
 Intel keeps zapping it to give it a boost.  In heavy DAW applications, 
 you really want consistent performance, not necessarily the maximum peak 
 performance.
 
 And the reviewer noticed a real oddity, which was that the sound levels 
 coming out of the built-in speakers were about twice as loud on the 
 cheaper non-Pro.  Go figure.  The reviewer surmised that there was 
 probably some setting he needed to adjust.  I took some MIDI files into 
 Best Buy and tried them on both machines and sure enough, the cheaper 
 non-pro was MUCH louder.  It wasn't close. The basic Surface 3 sounded a 
 lot louder and a lot better.
 
 Obviously the Pro has a larger display.  For me, that larger display 
 makes it a little less pad-like so to speak.  If you are going to be 
 working a lot with StaffPad on scores where the display space is really 
 important, they I guess the Pro might be worth something, but I couldn't 
 see spending the extra bucks for a machine that, to me was LESS functional.
 
 I would definitely NOT recommend the 64GB.  That doesn't leave very much 
 room for OS and apps.  If you really think you will never do much more 
 than use StaffPad, then 64GB is OK.  But I would look seriously at 128GB.

[Finale] Audio tracks and tempo alterations

[Darcy James Argue]

Hello,

It seems that when you add an audio track to Finale and then attempt to change 
the tempo by using or modifying a tempo change expression, no change occurs. 
You have to delete the audio track and then re-load it for the tempo changes to 
take effect. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a documented bug?

Re: [Finale] Hide ties

[Darcy James Argue]

Long glissandos — especially those that pass through stems without noteheads — 
often require ties for playback so that the note doesn't reattack.

Re: [Finale] Bb7b4

[Darcy James Argue]

Bb7b4 is not a standard chord symbol. A flatted fourth would be identical 
to a major third, which is already in the chord. 

Did you mean Bb7#4? If so, that would more typically be written with the 
alteration bracketed by parentheses: Bb7(#4).

Re: [Finale] Bb7b4

Hi Jim,

#4 or #11 is the standard way of writing this harmony. In jazz, 7(#11) chords 
often include a natural fifth, so b5 is not accurate.

[Finale] Disable fp's in Human Playback

[Darcy James Argue]

Hi all,

As many of you know, the fp expression is broken in Finale 2014 Human 
Playback — it essentially results in the note being all but silenced.

Does anyone know if there is any way to edit the HP dictionary so that fp is 
removed, or otherwise preventing the expression from having any HP effect? I'd 
much rather it do nothing than do what it does.

Re: [Finale] Disable fp's in Human Playback

[Darcy James Argue]

Hi Chuck,

I just realized, after asking the question, that if I change the Playback 
Effect from None to something defined but harmless — like Transposition  
Set To Value = 0 — then HP will ignore the expression.

YMMV but for me this removes my single biggest frustration with Fin2014 
playback. Wish I'd thought of it a long time ago!

Hi Chuck,

Yes. In HP Preferences  Inst. Techniques  Garritan: Jazz, Big Band  Marching

(Make sure you attach these HP preferences to your Document Style file or your

Re: [Finale] StaffPad has released a great update! (lengthy update to my previous review)

[Darcy James Argue]

Hi Craig,

I think you will find a lot of people on this list who disagree with you about 
the desirability of capturing that last 1% of engraving sophistication. 
(Starting with whether it is actually 1% or more like 10% or more.) To give but 
one example, having an application that could apply something like Patterson 
Beams by default, without having to invoke a plug-in, would be hugely 
attractive to me and to a great many other people.

The fact is that the quality of music notation generated by the average user of 
Finale or Sibelius is still extremely poor. Having music notation software that 
was designed from the ground up to quietly guide the novice user towards more 
professional-looking results, while also allowing experienced engravers room to 
customize, would be incredibly advantageous.

I've had the opportunity to try StaffPad briefly, and while I agree it is 
extremely impressive, it's not remotely an engraving tool. It's an input tool. 
It certainly meets the needs of lots of people who only require an input tool. 
But IMO there is still plenty of room in the market for a serious engraving 
tool. At least, I hope there is!

Cheers,

 Please excuse the cross posting and apologies to those who will receive
 this update to my previous StaffPad review multiple times.
 
 I know that for users of Sibelius and Finale, regular updates of the
 software are very important and in recent years have been less than
 overwhelming as corporate politics and financial problems have gotten in
 the way of offering real improvements to the software.
 
 Thanks for these updates.  The speed of their execution is most impressive.
 
 Several days ago, I listened to this extensive interview with Daniel 
 Spreadbury.
 https://youtu.be/VBhPyTNkXKI
 
 My take-aways were:
 
 1) This effort is still years from producing a commercial product.  They 
 don't have much of a GUI at present, for example.
 
 2) The Steinberg team seems totally obsessed with the finest intricacies 
 of extreme engraving, and doesn't seem to care nearly as much about 
 things like improved playback and integration with the rest of the 
 modern musician's workflow.
 
 I have nothing against somebody trying to reach the karma of engraving, 
 but I must admit I don't find that of much practical use.  Some of their 
 ideas would be broadly usable, such as more of a rules-based approach to 
 how rhythms are notated.  But I was left with a feeling that this is an 
 enormous amount of effort to put into a program that endeavors to 
 capture that last 1 percent of engraving sophistication.  I would have 
 thought there are very few people in the world that would be heavily 
 motivated by that last 1% -- probably fewer than 1000 copyists.
 
 Of course, if the Steinberg program advances notation that last 1% AND 
 also does many other things better, then it will be of interest.  But it 
 is hard for me to reconcile the scope of the Steinberg effort with the 
 very impressive delivery of Staffpad function by what appears to be a 
 much smaller team over a much shorter time period.
 
 I realize these are apples and oranges, but nonetheless, Staffpad is the 
 most impressive thing I have seen in the field in a decade.

 Next question: how do I create an 8vab-line that spans more than two

 is. I can't find anything in the help files.

Re: [Finale] Copying extra space settings within a part?

[Darcy James Argue]

Hi Steve,

Once you add it to the beginning/end of a measure in one part, it will be in 
all parts and the score.

That is not actually true, Steve. It is perfectly possible to have different 
extra space settings in score vs. parts. However, that is not the problem I'm 
having.

 Hello Darcy,
 
 To my knowledge this has never worked. This issue is one of the main
 reasons I can't use linked parts. I use those settings all the time. It's

 one part, it will be in all parts and the score.

 Is there a plugin that allows you to copy the extra space at

 Hi Barbara,
 
 I've come across this bug before. Finale doesn't like copying hidden tuplets, 
 for some reason. The solution is to create a staff view of each single staff 
 that you need to copy, make sure stack selection is checked when copying, 
 and then paste into the desired staff.

 Reply-To: finale@shsu.edu
 
 
 Hello list,
 
 I'm engraving a piece of music for percussion, five staves.
 There are four voices per staff. The voices play a complicated, interwoven 
 rhythm together. The rhythm is the same for all bars and all staves, only 
 the notes and rests vary per bar.
 Using the digits 1 to 4 as notes in the four voices and (1) to as the rests 
 (notes and rests all 16ths), the first bar goes:
 (22/16) 1 (2) 3 4 1 2 (2) 3 4 1 (2) 2 3 (1) 4 1 2 (2) (3) 3 (4) (4)
 I try to put the notes and rest in their proper place with hidden tuplets. 
 They look like 16ths, beamed together to show the separate voices.
 I hope you can follow this discription.
 Now, I thought I would be smart to notate this rhythm only 1 time and then 
 copy it to the right and down, but here is the problem.
 Copying it to the next bars goes fine, but when I copy it down to the next 
 staff, Finale throws away the hidden tuplets and notates the music as the 
 real note values instead of the sixteens with the hidden tuplets.
 I'm suspecting it has something to do with the quantisation settings, but I 
 don't know what. Can someone help me? Thanks!

Re: [Finale] StaffPad (for Windows Surface Pro 3)

[Darcy James Argue]

Hi Robert,

It's true I am a lifelong Mac user (since the 1984 Macintosh!) but I'll admit 
that the idea that I could take a tablet that's as powerful as my current 
laptop, plunk it on the music stand of any piano, write music directly 
on-screen with a pen, and then easily bounce that output to Finale — running on 
the same device — is pretty appealing.

Currently, when I'm on the road, I have to haul around a backpack with my 
laptop, a 2-octave MIDI keyboard, a bunch of cables and chargers, etc. I 
usually have access to a room with a piano, but then I've also got to have a 
desk or table where I can set up my laptop and MIDI keyboard and phone (used as 
a numeric keypad)… plus a nearby power source because my laptop's battery 
doesn't hold a charge well anymore — it takes a little while to set everything 
up, and then pack it up again when I'm done. I'm always going back and forth 
between using the piano to try out ideas, then inputting notes into Finale 
using the MIDI keyboard (sometimes awkwardly if there's a lot of 
octave-shifting), the numeric keypad app on my phone is always losing 
connectivity, and so on… it's a slow and cumbersome way to write.

If there was a way I could instead just sit down at any piano and reach into my 
bag and pull out a slim tablet computer with a stylus and just start writing… 
in a format that imports easily into Finale… that honestly sounds like a minor 
miracle to me.

In all honestly, I will probably wait and see what Windows 10 is like before 
deciding. Obviously it would be a huge, disruptive switch, and I'd want to go 
into it with both eyes open. But replacing my aging MacBook Pro with a high-end 
Surface Pro tablet is not out of the question.

Cheers,

 I am curious if anyone on the list has any experience with it.
 Specifically, how well does it handle meter changes or even passages

 If I end up getting it, I'll almost certainly be using it as a front-end
 for Finale through its Music XML export feature.

Of course, but that would require a separate device. The whole appeal of this

which you could run StaffPad and Finale simultaneously.

Hi David,

Of course any serious user would not be giving up Finale or Sibelius. But 
having the pen-entry front end on a tablet is, for me, the exciting part. I 
know I could also just do the note entry directly into Finale on a Surface Pro, 
but realistically that also requires a keyboard, a numberpad, and a MIDI

[Finale] Fin2014 — custom smart lines attach to beats?

[Darcy James Argue]

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?

Also (perhaps related): custom smart lines do not seem to copy even when both

There (sort of) is — if you're willing to sacrifice the default Glissando,

Re: [Finale] Change Instrument in FinMac2014?

[Darcy James Argue]

Hi Craig,

You should certainly be using the Change Instrument feature. For starters, it 
greatly simplifies part creation, and allows for mid-system instrument changes. 
There is this one playback issue I described (which I don't recall being a 
problem prior to Finale 2014) but certainly the benefits FAR, FAR outweigh this 
one particular drawback.

 But this raises a question for me.  I wasn't aware of this Change

 set up a staff for each instrument, put them all together in manage 
 parts, then use Hide Empty Staves so that there is only one staff on the 
 part.  That is straightforward and has always worked fine for me.
 
 My question is whether this Change Instruments feature is significantly 
 easier (assuming it all works correctly).
 
 I guess the Change Instrument approach would end up with fewer 
 instruments in the score, which would be a benefit.
 
 Basically this is a question of what is the best practice.

 order to take advantage of multiple input devices such as a midi

 need a small USB hub.  And the USB port on the SurfacePro3 is 
 underpowered (to save battery life) so running external hard drives 
 needs a powered USB hub unless you have a hard drive which has its own 
 battery power.
 
 Everything I've read leads me to think the new version *might* run 
 Finale just as well as the Pro version but also it might not.  The Atom 
 chip is a single-core processor so Finale might get interrupted when the 
 cpu handles other functions such as polling the ports or if you're 
 running a browser in the background.
 
 I love the screen size and am using the program MusicReader as my 
 electronic music stand, in addition to using the SurfacePro as my travel 
 computer.  It runs Office just fine, it runs WordPerfect just fine, it 
 runs Band-in-a-Box just fine.
 
 My suggestion is to bite the bullet and buy the Pro version -- I just 
 read a review of the new Surface which compared it to a netbook only 
 better and suggests it might be better than the full-fledged notebooks 
 in the same price range.  But I would never try to run high-powered 
 programs like Finale or Sibelius on a netbook nor would I buy a $400 
 laptop for it either.
 
 But that's just my opinions and experience -- others may differ.

Also, one small point — the Atom x7-Z8700 processor used in the Surface 3

 need a small USB hub.  And the USB port on the SurfacePro3 is 
 underpowered (to save battery life) so running external hard drives 
 needs a powered USB hub unless you have a hard drive which has its own 
 battery power.
 
 Everything I've read leads me to think the new version *might* run 
 Finale just as well as the Pro version but also it might not.  The Atom 
 chip is a single-core processor so Finale might get interrupted when the 
 cpu handles other functions such as polling the ports or if you're 
 running a browser in the background.
 
 I love the screen size and am using the program MusicReader as my 
 electronic music stand, in addition to using the SurfacePro as my travel 
 computer.  It runs Office just fine, it runs WordPerfect just fine, it 
 runs Band-in-a-Box just fine.
 
 My suggestion is to bite the bullet and buy the Pro version -- I just 
 read a review of the new Surface which compared it to a netbook only 
 better and suggests it might be better than the full-fledged notebooks 
 in the same price range.  But I would never try to run high-powered 
 programs like Finale or Sibelius on a netbook nor would I buy a $400 
 laptop for it either.
 
 But that's just my opinions and experience -- others may differ.

[Finale] WinFin on Surface Pro 3

[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?

[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?

 Yes, that's the way I do it. I've also come across instances where, for 
 example, I notated an aleatoric orchestral passage using stemless notes and 
 invisible tuplets, and copying it always broke the tuplets. The thing I found 
 that finally worked was creating staff views of each single staff I needed to 
 copy, and then keeping stack selection checked when copying and pasting.

 You can create a staff view of just the independent staff (or staves) and
 then you can do a full stack selection. I just tried this and it seemed to
 work. I don't know if there are caveats.

 Hello,
 
 If you have a staff that is set to use Independent Time Signatures (via a
 Staff Style), is there any way to copy those independent time signatures
 without selecting an full measure stack (as Finale normally requires you to
 do in order to copy time sigs)?
 
 Cheers,
