There is no solution that is fully automatic. Using left barline attached expressions is a pretty good workaround, but it will not be automatic unless your score and parts have the same page, system and staff sizes and percent sizes. For me this is almost never the case. I have continued to use Pa

Re: [Finale] dotted rest in 6/8?

2015-05-26 Thread Christopher Smith
I generally DON'T use dotted rests, except in 12/8 (and maybe some other composed metres). 6/8 definitely not, but 9/8 is a toss-up. If there is a lot of syncopation in 9/8, I would go for dotted rests, which clarify the beat. If most of it was regular divisions and subdivisions, I would stick w

I know that many texts tell us not to use dotted-rests, but I've never had a problem with them, especially dotted-quarter rests in 6/8 and 9/8. It's so obvious it's one half one third of the measure. The best way is the way which is the clearest to the largest number of musicians, not what au

Attaching titles to a specific measure as expressions will get you on the right page and approximate position, but as far as I know there is no way to specify the position of an expression as centered on the page (which is what I want for titles). I'm still making titles page-attached text blocks

from Herbert Chlapik, Die Praxis des Notengraphikers (Doblinger 1987): "Für den 6/8- und 9/8-Takt sind die geteilten Pausen noch entschieden vorzuziehen." (for 6/8 and 9/8 meter, the divided rests are definitely to be preferred) Howard On 26.05.2015 10:44, Raimund Lintzen wrote: > Hi all, > >

Hi Folks, I'm writing a multi movt piece in one file. Is there an easy way to put the titles in the score and have them keep the same position in the parts? I'm clearly doing something wrong as they appear sometimes in the middle of the page, sometimes on the left or right or sometimes not at all

[Finale] dotted rest in 6/8?

2015-05-26 Thread Raimund Lintzen
Hi all, can anybody tell me the best way wether to notate rest in 6/8 meter (or 9/8 etc) as dottet-quarter-rest or as quarter rest + eight-rest? The composer uses quarter rest + eight-rest. Any deeper reasons for the one/other way? Classical work for big symphony orchestra. Thanks Raimund Lint
