[Finale] Hard spaces not appearing

2006-07-04 Thread Jonathan Smith
Has anyone any clues as to why hard spaces (alt-spacebar) placed in lyrics are showing on screen but don't appear in print or in preview or pdfs. Is this a: Font problem; Adobe PostScript Type 1, or an OS; Mac10.4.2, or Finale; 2005 2006? Thanks in advance, Jonathan

I think the hardspaces are to be inserted by Alt+160 (on the numeric keypad). That's explained in the manual under melismas.I don't get anything when I type alt-spacebar (in Finale/Win). Bernard2006/7/4, Jonathan Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Has anyone any clues as to why hard spaces (alt-spacebar)

[Finale] Redundant accidentals

I recently played through a set of clarinet etudes with a student, and ran across an oddity.  In the key of Bb, a couple E#s and B#s occurred.  The manuscript had a natural sign and then a sharp next to the note in each instance, which seemed redundant to me, and confusing to my student.  I guess

This occurs in older scores. I think it has been abandoned in modern editions: it is certainly not considered necessary and may, as you say, be confusing. Michael Cook On 4 Jul 2006, at 11:49, Lon Price wrote: I recently played through a set of clarinet etudes with a student, and ran

I would say no to the parentheses for courtesy accidentals. It's much better for fast reading. If I see an accidental without parentheses I automatically play it, no questions asked. If there are parentheses there may be a moment of doubt: is this really an F-sharp, or was the sharp added

The HP LJ 5si is a great printer if you're willing to live with 600 dpi resolution. Personally, I find that falls just short for printing music; e.g., angled beams and cresc./decres. signs show slight stairstepping at 600 dpi. I would consider 1200 dpi the minimum acceptable res for printing
