[Finale] Fin04 Keyless transposition options

2014-09-11 Thread Robert Patterson
List, I'm beginning to grapple with Fin14, and it looks to me as if there are two completely different ways to accomplish the same thing at both the key and staff levels. At the key level we have the new Keyless option. I think that is a great addition. But there is also a Hide Key Signature and

[Finale] Fin 2014 Freeze when Adding Second Lyric

2014-09-11 Thread log
This is driving me crazy: I have a 26 page textbook I'm working on, many double layers, sometimes three layers are used, a lot of staffs styles involved and lyrics are inserted here and there using verses 1, 3 and 4. Finale takes a little more time when switching to another layer, at this point

Hello: I wish I had some suggestions for you. I can offer sympathy; my Finale 2014 freezes a lot more than that, in many other circumstances. Good luck. Paul B. On Thu, Sep 11, 2014 at 9:02 AM, log l...@giovanniandreani.com wrote: This is driving me crazy: I have a 26 page textbook I'm

I'd export to 2012 and try it there., although 2012 has lyric issues, also. On Sep 11, 2014 10:03 AM, log l...@giovanniandreani.com wrote: This is driving me crazy: I have a 26 page textbook I'm working on, many double layers, sometimes three layers are used, a lot of staffs styles involved

I'd have to reinstall 2012, but of this is the casi I will do. I tried creating a one page document out of the main one and using it only for those exercises where the bug is triggered. It all works fine, then I copy-paste to the main document but layer 2 will be pasted at a higher level, in

[Finale] Clef Won't Change

2014-09-11 Thread Blake Richardson
I'm using Finale 2009 on a Mac Pro, and I've run into something puzzling. I'm working on a score that includes Bb Bass Clarinet, which Finale defaults to the treble clef. I want to change it bass clef, but Finale won't let me do it. In fact, it won't let me change the clef to anything at all.

Try going to the Instrument List in Score Manager. In the lower right is a clef option. Fiddling with this may help. Sometimes there's more than one approach in Finale, and it's not always clear which one dominates. Giz Richmond VA |-Original Message- |From: finale-boun...@shsu.edu

One odd thing with lyrics, (but this happens with 2012 also) - Make sure you put whatever page you are editing on the RIGHT side of the screen. When I try to click and move lyrics on the left edge, it hangs up. Raymond Horton Bass Trombonist, Louisville Orchestra Minister of Music, Edwardsville

Look at the transposition for the instrument (Staff Attributes) - uncheck Set to Clef and you'll have the clef control back. On Sep 11, 2014, at 11:29 AM, Blake Richardson btr1...@ix.netcom.com wrote: I'm using Finale 2009 on a Mac Pro, and I've run into something puzzling. I'm working on a

Hi, Michael - I'm glad to hear that Finale will continue to be improved tweaked. I'll reiterate what has been expressed by many in this forum often over the years: we would love a release that just fixes bugs. The last several releases have seen a number of users who feel forced to move to a
