[Finale] Number repeated measures in linked parts?

2006-11-06 Thread Johannes Gebauer
How does one number repeated measures in linked parts (but not in the score)? Is there a more efficient way than to enter them all manually as expressions? Johannes -- http://www.musikmanufaktur.com http://www.camerata-berolinensis.de ___ Finale

Hi Johannes, I haven't found a good solution for this, other than maintaining a separate parts score -- or just deciding I don't mind the numbers in the score so much anymore. Robert Patterson's Measure Numbers plugin works in the parts if you set it to number every 999 measures, then

Yes ... I think the Lt.Cav. sound would suit a lively tempo much better than the quarter = 54 about which I'm talking. My vision is that of cowboys lazily riding along side the herd ... at least that's what the text of the song implies to me ...Ride around little dogies, ride 'round and

Why do you need to be that specific, down to mallet choices? Is your horse on grass, hard dirt, pavement, or rock? The choices are almost endless. Why not let the percussionist decide what sounds best with the instruments he/she has available? One brand of temple blocks may sound correct with

Again, a very good idea. Even as I thought of the dotted 8th/16th pattern, something bothered me about it. I do think the triplet figure would soften up the thing and help achieve the lazy sound I'm after. Thanks again ... Dean On Nov 6, 2006, at 9:05 AM, John Howell wrote: At 8:23 PM

Grofe's On the Trail movement from _Grand Canyon Suite_ splits the difference rhythmically, with the woodwinds in 6/8 while the 4 temple blocks play duplets. I suppose loping would describe the horse effect achieved. For a look at a sound effects guy in action using the coconut halves, PBS

Good info again. I thank you. Yeah, I suffer from the premise that the composer has to micromanage too many times. I found that to be true of a lot of string writing also... mostly they just want the notes and they take care of the rest. Dean On Nov 6, 2006, at 9:16 AM, Chuck May wrote:
