Re: [Finale] Finale 26 -- Opinions? JazzFont Alternative

Also, where is the promised alternative to JazzFont, which has some truly ugly characters? Girard, why don't you use the free Elbsound Music Font Package for Finale? 25 music fonts including four alternative jazz fonts - all 100% compatible with Maestro. LijazFIN looks very similar to

Re: [Finale] Finale 26 -- Opinions?

I think you’d want the articulation font as well. There are jazz articulations that look appropriate with Maestro. Using Jazz font articulations with Maestro looks awful and that discrepancy was why Bill made the articulations (for Greg Hamilton and me). There’s

[Finale] Fin26 Observations

Fin25 / Fin26, you say potatoes, I say potahtoes. Not much difference that I can see. I just tried a quick experiment to see how wonderful the new automatic placement feature for slurs and other articulations works, and I have to say that it does what it claims to, although hardly the big

Re: [Finale] Finale 26 -- Opinions?

I've considered doing just that, but unfortunately, the Bill Duncan fonts are part of an expensive package. All I would really want is the chord library. That doesn't seem to be an option on the NPC site. Giz -Original Message- From: Finale [mailto:finale-boun...@shsu.edu] On Behalf Of

Re: [Finale] Finale 26 -- Opinions?

Hello David and Steve, Steve’s understanding is correct. The Dolet 7.2 for Finale plug-in is there so you can get batch import, batch export, and MusicXML 3.1 support in earlier 32-bit versions of Finale. All these features are built into 64-bit Finale as of v25. Dolet is a 32-bit plug-in, so

Jazz Font is a terrible font. You should switch to Bill Duncan’s articulation font and use Maestro. > On Oct 11, 2018, at 10:54 AM, Girard Bowe wrote: > > Here is my response to a thread I started on the Finale Forum >

Here is my response to a thread I started on the Finale Forum regarding the spacing of the eighth-rest dot in JazzFont: "Well, here it is, 2 years since my post on this thread, and 11 years since

Hello David, My understanding is the the plugin is no longer necessary and that it IS built in to the program under the file menu. Look at the FAQ on the music my site. “As of V25 Finale now includes all the extra features from the filet plug-in directly from the file menu. There is no longer

Re: [Finale] Finale 26 -- Opinions?

I have downloaded and installed Finale 26 (Windows), and at the same time I have downloaded and installed the latest version of Dolet for Finale (ver7.2). Curiously, even though the installation instructions for Dolet tells me that I will be able to select where it will install, the actual

Thank you for the tip, quite important by the way. I, personally, consider a transitional period - when upgrading - for which I maintain the version prior to the latest installed one. Giovanni Andreani www.giovanniandreani.com www.ga-music.com > On 10 Oct 2018, at 22:29, David H.
