Re: [Finale] Lyrics entry [was: Re: Part prints at 1/16 size of page]

[Jim Gray]

On Macs in the Finale lyric tool, while typing directly into the score, if the 
shift key is held while the space bar is pressed, the curser is sent backwards. 
My suspicions are that Mr. Parmerlee, while having to press the shift key to 
create the capital I, may inadvertently still have the shift key pressed when 
he hits the space bar. I know it has happened to me a few times, forcing me to 
consider my typing coordination skills, which are already pretty low.

Re: [Finale] orchestra show of power? or justified deadline?

[Jim Gray]

Hi Jef,

I would think this is a reasonable request to get the string parts to the 
concertmaster and principles before their vacation starts for bowings and part 
assignments (for wind played and percussionists, etc.). I have had to deal with 
this for shows that are early in the season, so that the principles could truly 
enjoy their vacation without any work load.

This is just my opinion and experience though, since I don’t know about your 
exact situation. Has the librarian or admin. staff offered any explanation?

Re: [Finale] Upgrading to Finale Mac 2014

[Jim Gray]

Scott,

What size paper are you printing on? I can print on 8½ x 11 & 11 x 17 both 
landscape and portrait, and 9 x 12 portrait with no problem. But when I try to 
print on 12 x 18 landscape I am not able. As I have researched this it seems to 
apply across the board outside of Finale. I noticed a few complaints from 
architects trying to print oversized blueprints on 12 x 18. 

I use an HP 5500.

Jim

Re: [Finale] Upgrading to Finale Mac 2014

[Jim Gray]

The only problem I had after the Mavericks upgrade was printing 2 sides up on 
12x18 landscape. Seems to be a compatibility problem with Mavericks and HP.  
The only way I can make it work is to save as a PDF and configure each PDF part 
separately to 12X18 landscape. If anyone has a work around, I'd appreciate 
hearing about it.
