[Finale] Playback Tempo Oddity

2010-06-30 Thread Neal Gittleman
Greetings... This is in FinMac2010b... I'm getting strange playback tempo behavior. Tempo marking sets the playback tempo at eighth-note = 72. Playback observes this tempo for exactly two quarter notes, then switches to twice as fast for the remainder of the piece. I created this

You should also use the Tempo Tool to set the tempo for the entire piece to eighth = 72. Cheers, - DJA - WEB: http://www.secretsocietymusic.org On 30 Jun 2010, at 10:18 AM, Christopher Smith wrote: On Wed Jun 30, at WednesdayJun 30 9:43 AM, Neal Gittleman wrote: Greetings...

[Finale] Placement of articulations

2010-06-30 Thread John Howell
Just a comment without discussion. First rehearsal Monday for a Broadway show from the mid-'50s. Hand copied, generally VERY readable. But the copyist put all the articulations above the notes, NOT at the noteheads, and it drove me crazy! I simply don't look for them there, so in

You know, I did a couple of scoring projects for Masters students in College and that is the way they wanted it. Above the notes, and articulations were outside the staff system. I thought it was strange but.whatever.. On Jun 30, 2010, at 10:17 AM, John Howell wrote: Just a comment

[Finale] FinMac2011 and GPO4 keyswitches

2010-06-30 Thread David Froom
Does anyone have GPO4 and FinMac 2011? If so, are your notation instrument keyswitches working? I can't get this to work. In 2009, I would use the n-TrumpetKS instrument, put in the word Mute from the library, and it would switch to muted. In 2011, the same thing doesn't seem to work.

I put my articulations at the note heads, and jazz players are not used to this. Still, it looks better that way to my eye (in most cases), and I don't think it impedes readability. However, going the other way and ignoring the conventions of string notation doesn't seem to be a good idea,

Hi David, In HP Prefs, modify the Filter for each technique so it says simply Garritan. Also, report to MM that their default HP Prefs no longer support keyswitches. (This is as of Fin2010, BTW.) Cheers, - DJA - WEB: http://www.secretsocietymusic.org On 30 Jun 2010, at 1:20 PM, David

Hi John, This is a totally standard hand-copying technique, recommended by Clinton Roemer. It puts all of the articulations in more or less the same visual plane -- above the staff -- so your eye does not have to jump around. The majority of hand-copied jazz/B'way/film/commercial etc. music

[Finale] Printing bug discovered

Hi All, I just called Finale support about a printing bug I discovered. They tested it and verified that it indeed is a bug in both Windows and Mac in 10 11. If you want to print a range of pages and accidentally put a beginning number higher than the ending number, the file becomes corrupted

I'm waffling back and forth over the need for slurs over fingered tremolos in strings. Example: Whole note C, whole note A, three tremolo beams in between. My familiarity with the music tells me that a slur is somewhat implied, but I wonder if a slur would help the sight reader. There are a lot of
