Re: [Finale] Sibelius crossgrade price $129
Been checking the Sibelius/Avid websites on the crossgrade frequently over the last few weeks, and it is always showing as SOLD OUT for the boxed version. I'd really rather have the shipped box than the download. The offer ends this Friday, the 19th. Any suggestions? ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

You just have to send them two pages of your Finale user guide or one of your Finale program discs. When I read about this special crossgrade price on the Sibelius site (I'm currently trying out the Sibelius 6 Demo) I saw where it says you can tear out the first two pages of your Finale user guide and send them that, or send them a Finale program disc, and was wondering if it matters which program disk you send them. Like, could you send them your old Finale 2008 CD and keep your Finale 2009 and your user guide remains intact? Also it says you must currently be a student.

Re: [Finale] harp pedal diagram
I think it's the composer's responsibility to WORK OUT the pedaling to ensure that all the enharmonics are spelled in a way that works for the harp. I don't think it's a crime to include a single diagram at the beginning, but would never indicate pedal changes, because precisely how those changes are marked and where they occur varies according to performer's preferences. On Fri, Sep 18, 2009 at 10:00 AM, Andrew Stiller kalli...@ix.netcom.comwrote: I disagree. IMO it is absolutely the composer's responsibility to indicate the pedalling in any harp part, whether by diagram or by the older method of writing in the pitch names. As for harpist's preferring to do it themselves, I can only cite the example of Lejaren Hiller, whose music I publish and who never bothered with pedalling diagrams. On one extracted harp part, the harpist pencilled in the note Jerry, harps have pedals! I add pedalling diagrams to the harp parts in all my editions of his work.

[Finale] MIDI volume send?
Each time I press play, before a single note has been played (even if no notes are entered in the score yet) volume controller messages are being sent to my MIDI keyboard for each track. This is volume, not key velocity. I've tried turning off H.P., unchecking send patches before play, and changing the values of the levels in the instrument list and mixer, all to no avail. The volume leveles are being set to 64 even though they say 100 (or anything else) in the instrument list. I created this score using the wizard.

Apology if I am not understanding this, but are you talking about _volume_ as in CC7? I have a feeling you are mistaking with channel gain as in CC11. If you do not wish that to happen, you should filter it at the destination. If you use a MIDI interface such as MOTU MTP/AV, you can filter it on the hardware. I'd imagine you can insert CC11 at the beginning of each track in Finale, no? Altho you are seeing 64 is odd. The standard is 110. The standard is 110? For which? Controller 7 or 11? I'm pretty sure I'm talking about controller 7 because this is the basic volume level of each MIDI channel. If I create a new default document and in the instrument list, the level for the default first staff is 101, and it becomes 110 on my MIDI keyboard when I press play. So something is multiplying it by like 109% or something. But if I create a new document without libararies I get the expected behavior of exactly what appears in the instrument list in the vol. column being sent to the MIDI keyboard. This is the way I normally set the overall volume for tracks. So there is something in my default document (and apparently also in the documents I create with the Wizard) which differs from this. ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

So something is multiplying it by some less than 100% factor in this docment. In the default document it gets mutliplied by slightly more than 100%.

[Finale] jazz articulations
I need help with choosing two articulations (this is using the Jazz font) for a trumpet solo transcription. The first is a slight bend down. I don't want it to look like a fall off. I chose symbol #71, but I'm not sure if that's the best choice. The second is a quick bend down and back up on a quarter note. I'm guessing that is what symbol #38 is for. But not quite sure where to place the articulation. If I place it after the note, it looks too much like a tie. So I'm thinking maybe it should be placed centered directly over the notehead.

Re: [Finale] Digital music stands
If the cost issues could be resolved this technology holds a lot of promise. Many orchestras have corporate sponsors and I can see a tie-in developing where the company that develops the technology is also a sponsor of the orchestra. The ePaper technology that is used for devices like the Amazon Kindle might be the perfect display technology to use for this. Or perhaps OLED. On the subject of power outages - it occurs to me that the power needs of a network of digital stands is significantly lower than that of stage lighting. With OLED, or LED-backlit LCD, it's conceivable that you could have a UPS type backup power system for it in the event of a power outage during a performance. And then the show *would* go on. :-) On Tue, Jul 29, 2008 at 5:03 AM, Robert Patterson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Speaking of digital music stands. Losing power is a non-issue. I've been in concerts and rehearsals when the power went out, and believe me the show did *not* go on. And this was with good old-fashioned Manhassetts. (Remember that thing we need called light?) The biggest impediment for at least professional orchestras to adopt digital music stands is that you are making your concerts dependent upon a computer network. Now these financially strapped institutions have to hire full-time network engineers? Beyond that is the cost of losing, dropping, or theft of the device(s) themselves. All three happen on a routine basis with Manhassets. Especially the dropping. That said, I understand some smaller (and doubtless richer) bands are using digital music stands quite effectively already. -- Robert Patterson http://RobertGPatterson.com ___ 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] Best method of re-authorizing?
I called the 800 number and talked to support. Then I essentially re-registered directly from Finale using the Internet choice. Then the software just confirmed my registration and that was all.At no time did I need to enter an authorization code, and none was given to me, neither by tech support nor via eMail. Not sure if that was because I talked to them on the phone first or not. As far as I can tell it's because when you use the Internet choice it automates the authorization part somehow. The support tech did mention something about resetting my authorization so perhaps it would have been a different process if I hadn't called first. But all I know is that now when I log into my account on the finale web page and look at my registration history, there is no longer a record of my original registration, just the current one.On 8/13/06, Eric Dannewitz [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Under HELP-Register Finale.
