Re: [Finale] Straight line gliss to notes with accidentals
I usually just treat it like a harp gliss and specify the scale above the gliss YMMV TC Sent via BlackBerry from Cingular Wireless -Original Message- From: Darcy James Argue [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sat, 24 Feb 2007 19:49:48 To:finale@shsu.edu Subject: [Finale] Straight line gliss to notes with accidentals Hey all, When using the straight line gliss, I usually like to have the line attach directly to the noteheads. But what if there's an intervening accidental that gets in the way? What's your preferred solution in this case? End the line before the accidental (although sometimes spacing is very tight and this would cause the gliss line to almost disappear)? Hide the real accidental and put it in as an articulation above the note? Or just live with the collision?

Hi, Everyone... Just wondering if anyone here knows of a good jazz piano instructional book you could recommend? I do already play piano, but am most interested in learning more about jazz techniques - especially jazz chords, etc. Would appreciate any suggestions! Also - does anyone by chance know if there's any way possible to get pen marking off of piano keys?! A friend's child was over here and marked up my piano :( Thanks!

Re: [Finale] Eyeglasses?
I see your point - I always taught students that any tempo alteration basically means the same to them - look up. I do use the eyeglasses from time to time in Finale if I'm doing a leadsheet and need to do something unusual to keep the number of pages at a minimum for my guitar players or woodwinds - eg. a simple verse, chorus, bridge tune that has an extension leading into the chorus that only happens the 2nd time through - I'll include a text instruction to skip the measures (or whatever the specific problem is) when appropriate and the eyeglasses near the text to tip them off that there is something non-standard happening - then, of course, verbally tell them and walk them through in rehearsal...

It is a standard personal notation like many others (and I've learned that Europeans have another set of such personal markings that we've never adopted here in the U.S.), and as such it has no agreed-upon meaning. You may use it to mean look up, but I may use it to mean watch out! (Which is exactly what I DO use it to mean, as a personal note to myself.) Like any non-standard notation, feel free to use it, but don't expect everyone else to know how you intend for them to interpret it. And any musician who isn't smart enough to look up and watch when a tempo change is marked (is it clearly marked?) has no business playing in a big band.

There's usually a lot of discussion when these things are announced, and there seem to be some significant improvements (along with the usual bells and whistles), including what looks like a real improvement in control of mass copying behavior, much more flexibility and efficiency in dealing with libraries, and some help with graphic export (something I rarely use, but would if it were easier. There's also integration with Garritan (nice for me, since I now seem to be a little part of that, and will certainly find use for the jazz sound samples), and improved Kontact integration (or so the PR seems to indicate). They mention July 2005. I just got the email notice now. But when I tried to pre-order, Firefox kept telling me that the document contained no data. Safari works fine, though. One thing, I noticed that Garritan Jazz and Big Band Collection is announced as well, on the check out page, at US$ 199.00. From the Garritan website it costs $259. I was hoping to get a reduction since I already own the Personal Orchestra, but it looks like Finale is the key to getting a discount.

Re: [Finale] It _is_ TOMATO! (was: C13)
However, in most pop music charts that I've seen (especially the Contemporary Christian genre) - G2 would be played as G-A-B-D (i.e. including the 3rd) - the sound you're talking about is most often seen as G2(no 3rd) in this arenaFWIW.
