[Finale] Any idea if/when there will be a patch B for 2014?

2014-04-05 Thread Craig Parmerlee
There are a bunch of bugs in the A version. That smart find and paste is so messed up, it is practically unusable. Half the time, when copying hairpins, some of them get wildly wrong coordinates in the target measures, stretching them over 40 measures or something. And it no longer finds

Yes, there are bugs. The one you mention happens when the hairpins extend to the end of the measure. It renders the Smart Find and Paste feature nearly unusable. There are a number of other deeply annoying bugs - scrolling issues that occur when Finale has been open for a while, making

Hi Chuck, I believe the trigger for the arrows not working in Speedy is when an autosave is triggered while a different application is in the foreground. The solution to this (and many other similar bugs in Fin2014) is to click in the menu bar. This restores focus to Finale — something that is

Hi Darcy, If this works, that will be a considerable help. This is similar to what happens when you click Finale Playback and another app is in front and you can't stop the Finale playback until you bring Finale to the front again. I will try this. Thank you, Darcy. Chuck On Apr 5, 2014,

In my case, I think the hairpins went to beat 4 (not literally to the edge of the measure), but maybe that is what you mean. And it doesn't screw up on all of them -- just some of them. But it makes such a mess that you can't really use the tool. I cannot recall whether this was broken at

[Finale] 16th note swing feel

How do you create a swing feel at the 16th note level for playback, instead of at the 8th note level? I’m using Finale 2012 for Mac. Thanks, Chris ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu https://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale To unsubscribe

Re: [Finale] 16th note swing feel

2014-04-05 Thread Christopher Smith
This is a bit of a kludge. Human Playback applies swing to notes that are HALF of whatever the denominator is in the time signature. So in 4/4, it will swing 8ths. You would have to make the time signature 8/8 to get 16ths to swing. You can make it 8/8 but display in 4/4 (I suggest only doing

It really is a shame because 2014 is a good release in many respects. The Windows version has caused me relatively few problems, but this smart copy one is enough to drive one batty. I had hoped they had turned the corner after taking so much time to get 2014 out. I compare Finale with
