Re: [Finale] Triplets in speedy entry
For each beat you restart with Ctrl-3.

Re: [Finale] Problems Printing 11 x 17
Make sure your printer setup is pointing to tabloid(11x17) size paper. Whenever I am printing to that size I have to tell the printer in page setup to also be set to 11x17 as well as telling finale to print to that size. I print using an HP laserjet 5000. ___ J.

Re: [Finale] Typing around text insert
I’ve got a question since we are talking about the text tool. Why is it that when you insert text in the Launcher window say for COPYRIGHT and you know you are going to edit it to have line one BOLD and line 3 in italics that when you have the score set up and go to EDIT the text box you might as well NOT have entered it into the launcher window because you cannot format any of the inputted text like you want without having to type it all over again to get the formatting you want. Any attempt to edit the controlled input text from the launcher window applies to the entire selection. I like that we can edit typos within the controlled text but still cannot alter it individually by word or line. Oh, and any form of copy/paste of the controlled text after the original text remains in the controlled form. ___ J.

Double-clicking can sometimes put you int the wrong editing mode. I do find that I end up using the arrow keys to get the cursor to the right place. It can be tedious to try to do that with the mouse. I haven't noticed any different behavior in recent releases. I'm using 2014.

Re: [Finale] Anybody having any success with scanning?
After watching Tom Johnson of Finale scan in clinics with relative ease I have gone back to scanning. He tells us that certain scanners are better than others for scanning and that a dpi of 500 or better will achieve optimal results. 300 dpi is pretty awful in scanning music even though we were all told that long ago it was acceptable. I watched Tom scan in a random band score at the Midwest clinic in Dec. and it produced every note that was on the page correctly as seen using the free version of smartscore lite. Yes there were no text on the scanned page but he also added that instead of taking the scanned page and turning it into your finished doc you should copy the info from it and paste into a new doc set up how you want the final score to look like. __ J.

I have owned several of the scanning products (Smartscore, Photoscore, and SharpEye). The last time I used any of them was about 7 years ago. Of the 3, I could sometimes get marginal results with SharpEye, but usually there were so many errors that it was not worth the time to even try. I need to transpose a big band chart for my singer. As this is very clean music, very well engraved, I thought this might be a good time to see how that software has progressed. I was encouraged when I saw that both Smartscore and Photoscore are proudly claiming that they now work even with hand-written scores. Perfect. Then it should have no trouble at all with my engraved music that uses the jazz font. Well, I think you know how this story turned out. I tried the latest versions of all three programs, using a wide variety of scan settings. They all failed miserably. The best one was Smartscore, which at least recognized the key signatures and most of the notes, but it still had at least one error on every single measure -- and this is not complicated music. It missed slurs, ties, multi-measure rests, endings, repeats, etc and interpreted dynamics and text as notes. Photoscore works best when I scan at 300dpi and grayscale. What settings did you scan at? I've never tried it on any handwritten font nor on my manuscript. It often has problems with multi-measure rests but most of the mistakes are easy to fix in PhotoScore before importing into Sibelius. I haven't worked with SmartScore so I can't offer any insights into that but perhaps re-scanning at 300dpi/grayscale if you haven't used those settings might help.

Re: [Finale] print forces update layout??
Insert the time signature as 6/2 + 3/1 and then go into the time signature settings in doc options and change the + to a blank character in the font and you will see the time as you want it. I've done this very same thing for Bernstein's Overture to WSS 4/4 + 2/4 stuff. You have to set the measures after the initial to the correct time signatures and hide them but otherwise you get the desired look you are wanting. You will have to add the Parenthesis yourself. ___ J.

Or if it does, the kludge is no kludge at all, and is unrelated to Update Layout. Hmm, maybe it's not update layout then. Let me be more specific. I've got a piece with a lot of time signature changes and one of them has a parenthetic; that is, it changes to 6/2 but right after the 6/2 it shows 3/1 in parentheses. I know of no way to draw that in the regular time signature, so I've just done it as regular 6/2 and I've created an expression to show the (3/1). I then respace to create extra room after the time signature to fit my expression in. So far, so good, except that this time signature change happens to fall on a system break, which I can't avoid. Therefore I need the parenthesized time signature to appear at the end of the prior system as well. Now it's a problem because that space isn't part of any measure. Finale just ends the previous measure early with only just enough room for the time signature to fit after the barline. Therefore I trick Finale into ending the measure early: I add space to the previous measure, update the layout, and then remove the extra space without updating the layout. This works perfectly on the screen, and I thought it would work perfectly over all, but I find that as soon as I print, Finale sees through my stratagem and moves the barline to the right anyway, pushing my parenthesized expression out into the right margin. There are more elaborate kludges I could resort to, but they are problematic, in part because my client cares about the MusicXML code, not just the printed look, so it's an issue to do things like add an invisible measure. If anyone has a better idea, I'd love to hear it. The basic problem is that I need to created space after the rightmost barline in a system that is showing time signature at the end of the system. Is there somewhere I can define the time signature numeral characters? If I can blank out the plus and some digits I may be able to fake something with a composite time signature. mdl ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

Re: [Finale] OT: field drum notation / scores
I currently teach drum corps and believe that ALL of the DCI corps are on modern Bb/F horns. Their cohorts in the DCA (senior corps) world are still split between G bugles and modern Bb horns. As for the original comment regarding Cymbals, Marching cymbal lines are typically the first to be cut out of the marching ensemble for visual reasons and relegated to the pit ensemble on the sidelines whenever another caption wants to increase their groups size on the field. I personally think a full Cymbal line (4-5 members) is quite musically enhancing to the overall group and is super visual as well within the marching unit on the field if taught well and used correctly. ___ J.

I thought I was the only one seeing that problem!

Re: [Finale] articulation or smart shape?
Being a trumpet player and one who has already PLAYED the CHICAGO music book, you simply notate a plunger part like you would notate a stopped horn part using the + for closed sound and - for open sound. We trumpet players who have experience already know what that means. You would probably want to tell them to use a plunger for that unless it is too quick to get a plunger up in the players hands. There were some places where we used our hands instead because there was not enough rest time to prepare a plunger for a quick 1-2 measure part. ___ J.

Re: [Finale] swing font
If any of you have not already noticed, since Panther came out FONT BOOK will install any PC font directly to the system by double-clicking the font. Up will pop FONT BOOK with a button on the window to INSTALL the font. No more converting PC fonts to OS X! ___ J.

Re: [Finale] Revere font
Upon D/L of the windows demo there is a font called GCRevere that gets installed. That seems to be the font that everyone is interested in. Many of the characters are very nice looking but it will take tons of tweaking to ever use it in Finale. I just finished playing around with it myself in an old document I opened up. Seems they do not offer anything more than eighth note values (notes and rests) in the font. Anything bigger is a creation of those values added to each other (i.e. multiple 1/8 rests to create 16th, 32nd rests). The same goes for flags. ___ J.

Re: [Finale] Space between staves with Wizard
The Set-up Wizard reads the maestro default file. I would think that if you open the default file (maestro default) that you will have the settings you want when you use the wizard. This only works if you want spacing changed for every document you create AFTER altering the current maestro default file. ___ J.

There is no other place in the program either because the default distance between staves seems pretty hard coded at 320 EVPUs, and that is surely always too big a distance.
