Re: [Finale] Efficient note entry????

2009-08-12 Thread Darcy James Argue

Hi  Richard,

For the melody, you'll obviously need to make each of the dotted  
eighth-sixteenth figures a sextuplet, with a hidden eighth rest  
between the dotted eighth and the sixteenth. I think Mass Copy might  
make it easier to hide the rests all in one go, but you should ask  
Robert about that.


Cheers,

You are on Fin2008, yes?

Enter the accompaniment entirely in the bottom staff. (You
can use Robert's Mass Copy plugin to do all the triplets, or
just do them normally and use Utilities -> Change -> Tuplest
to hide them).

Then select the notes from the bottom staff that you want to
appear in the top staff and hit opt-up arrow. No need to hide
any rests, Finale will do that for you automatically.

Cheers,

Any suggestions for entering this texture without resorting to

be a real

drag (and a lot of it) to do it that way, not to mention

the triplets

and hidden rests in the bass across two staffs.
