Re: [Finale] music symbols in text

If you've got access to the full Unicode set, flat, natural and sharp are characters 9837, 9838 and 9839 respectively (hex 266D, 266E, 266F). (There's also a few characters of miniature notes in the four slots before that.) For a chart of the "miscellaneous symbols" range of Unicode, see

Re: [Finale] music symbols in text

The easiest way to do what Charles wants to do, with the fonts he already has, is to specify an exact line spacing (instead of relative spacing like single spacing, double spacing, etc.). For instance, if you are dealing with a 12 pt. text font, make the line spacing exactly 14 pts. Then you

Re: [Finale] music symbols in text

This may not be a great help but here is one idea. Using a test block, when I need to enter "Trumpet in Bb", for example, I use the CS Times font. To enter the flat, I dial in ALT 0223. I select the B and the flat, then set tracking at 150. Everything stays in line and spaced pretty well in my

Re: [Finale] Split point layout hell

Split points are absolute hell. The UI is awful, non-wysiwyg, and it's buggy. I avoid them as much as possible, even if it means breaking into smaller measures with invisible barlines and measure numbers redone. I remember one file in which I had a split point that evaporated every time I ma

I've had the same problem in the past as Charles Small is experiencing. I've always compromised by having various text boxes overlapping, to place the notation characters where they need to be. In complicated situations, I'd arrange the items in MS Publisher, and export the whole item as a gr

Friends, please forgive the cross post. Someone posted a request for information on how one might change the height of hyphens between syllables, and someone replied that there is no way to change the height of hyphens because the hyphen is selected from the lyric font. I don't remember which

Re: [Finale] Split point layout hell

Sometimes I find that it is easier to create a new time signature for the partial measure and hide the bar line and time signature in the measure tools. Things stay where you put them. One warning with this method is that each measure is counted in the measure numbers. You can work around this

[Finale] Split point layout hell

Hi all, I'm stuck in an activity loop in FinWin2K3. I am trying to split some very wide measures in a piece of solo flute music. Every time I add split points, the measure fragments jump to previous systems -- no matter whether those previous systems are locked, have a "fit music" number of mea

This may be of some interest: The newly released iTunes 4.5 (Mac and PC) now includes an option for lossless compression of audio files -- the format is called "Apple Lossless." Unlike MP3, AAC or WMA, this is true CD-quality audio -- 16-bit 44.1 KHz stereo -- at half the file size. It's a pl

Thanks all for your help, but it's already solved. Acrobat says "To embed only certain fonts, move them into the Always Embed List. Make sure Embed All Fonts is not selected." I didn't move any fonts into the Always Embed List, because I had selected Embed All Fonts. The solution was: also put t
