That's strange, because I've never had any problems with Acrobat 
embedding fonts. Which version of Acrobat? And what flavour of Windows?

I've had embarassing lack-of-embedding hiccups with Acrobat (v.6, Win 
XP).  Many of the default settings don't include embedding.

But I couldn't spend enough time trying yet...

First of all, I hope you're planning on using TIF files and not EPS...
Why do you say this. Where is the problem with EPS files?
It's not possible to specify the size of the output, but using a grid 
you can get a fairly precise idea of the size of your example. That's 
what I would do if I were able to export EPS files in Finale.

Depends. If you are on Windows I am told it doesn't work at all. On Mac, 
you should be ok if your EPS only contains music fonts. If it contains 
text fonts as well there may or may not be problems. In my case 
NewCenturySchoolbook does not get included in the EPS. This may end up 
being a problem when the EPS is reimported (especially if you reimport 
into Finale, but I guess you don't want to do that anyway). And it may 
be more of a problem if you give these files to someone else.

Sorry to hear that. I thought eps to be superiour especially since I 
don't find it appropriate to rasterize musical scores

Absolutely! What platform are you on?

Because recent versions of Finale (Windows) can't export EPS files with 
embedded fonts (either in WinXP or Win2000). This has been broken for 
years, and MakeMusic has no idea when it will be fixed.

If have managed to produce EPS files with embedded fonts, I, and many 
others, I assume, would be very grateful if you could post all relevant 
details: OS, version of finale, printer driver, settings.

I have to admit that I didn't manage to do that - because I never tried 
(and I didn't pretend - sorry if someone misunderstood me).

Hmmm. Very embarassing indeed...

[Finale] Image export / size / page size

2004-12-15 Thread Urs Liska
Dear list members,
I will have to produce a large amount of score examples for a book, 
which I intend to do with Finale (rather than scanning scores, drawing 
into them and preparing them in a picture editing program).

My problem with the Grafics Tool is with the picture size.
As far as I see it I can (with Finale 2001) export either a whole page 
or a section that I determine by drawing a rectangle with the mouse.
For this last method I don't see any way to determine the size or the 
origin of the picture in a reasonable exact manner (i.e. by typing 
numbers of any kind or at least adjusting the rectangle afterwards).

Is this true?
As a workaround I thought of adjusting the page size and export the 
whole page, so I know exactly how large the picture is and which borders 
I have.
But this seems to be messy either. As fas as I can see, I cannot change 
the size of an existing page (in order to adjust it to the example), but 
only for newly created pages. I would then have to measure my example, 
create a new page and copy the music to the new page.
This seems to be a totally unacceptable behaviour.

How do you produce score examples?
Is there something important I am missing?
Is there something significally improved in newer versions of Finale? (I 
 don't use it as much, so I'd rather not spend so much money to upgrade it.

Thanks for your assistance
Urs Liska
