[Finale] EPS to MS Word

2009-05-28 Thread Greg Scheer
I frequently export EPS files from Finale (2008a.r1 for Mac) for use in our church bulletins. The secretary imports them into Word (I have 2004 for Mac; she has 2007 for Windows) and prints them on a laser printer. This process usually goes off without a hitch, but sometimes--usually when I'm

Not an expert on this. I wonder if you installed the Microsoft XPS document printer and printed to that, if it would be more compatible? At 5/28/2009 09:23 AM, Greg Scheer wrote: I frequently export EPS files from Finale (2008a.r1 for Mac) for use in our church bulletins. The secretary

[Finale] Tapspace Virtual Drumline

Anybody using the Tapspace Virtual Drumline 2.5? Does it work ok in conjunction with GPO and GJBB? I'm not so much interested in all the marching stuff, more all the oddball percussion that GPO doesn't have. I'm on Finale Windows 2009. Thanks, Raymond Horton * *

At first glance it looks like I'll be trudging along with Finale 2007, exclusively maintaining a 20-year body of work. They want to charge me $170 to upgrade. Hmmm. Patiently waiting Sibelius 6 to be delivered. J D Thomas ThomaStudios On May 28, 2009, at 10:09 AM, Dan Rupert wrote:

I wonder whether they are aware of it, but this update looks rather, well, pathetic, after the Sibelius announcement. If there isn't some under the hood magic hidden somewhere, I don't think I would buy the upgrade. I am waiting for a Sibelius competitive offer to spend my money on. Johannes

Hi all, I have dealt with this before, but I can't remember out what I did. In 6/8 when you notate dotted 8th, sixteenth, eighth, the sixteenth beamlet is turned back toward the dotted eighth. But if you do the same rhythm as a triplet in 2/4, the sixteenth beamlet is turned FORWARD,

If we're lucky maybe Avid will run another promotion like they did for Sib5 crossgrade from Finale. They did one promotion for under $100. Still, the sibelius users have to pay $99 to upgrade, so $150 to crossgrade is really quite affordable. Finale upgrades are usually that much and

[Finale] Slurs

I have a score that I originally did in Finale several years ago. I don't remember what version. I have opened it in 2008 (I do have 2009 but haven't really used it yet). I think that all the slurs are too high and too rounded. Is there a way to adjust the shape of all the slurs at once?
