[Finale] Contrabass flute, instrument levels.

Hi all, Doing a score with required demo. 1. What am I missing in trying to create a treble-clef-reading contrabass flute that plays back? When I choose "contrabass flute" in a mid-score instrument change, it renders it in bass clef. Contrabass flute reads treble clef. It also won't play in

[Finale] Barlines through all staves

Hi all, I'm finishing a client's score for four pianos and he has asked that 72 of the 780 measures have a barline through all staves (to indicate section divisions). I don't see an easy way to create a kind of mid-page 'left barline'. Maybe there's a plugin? FinWin 2014.5 Thanks! Dennis

[Finale] Rests between staves

Hi all. This must be something I've forgotten. I'm sure I've done this before but can't remember how. I need all identical lefthand/righthand rests in a keyboard part to be centered between the staves (that is, just one rest showing for both hands). Thanks! Dennis

Found a Finale 2.2 file from 1993. Conversion to 2014.5 was flawless. Dennis ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu https://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale To unsubscribe from finale send a message to: finale-unsubscr...@shsu.edu

Re: [Finale] volume drop

Yes, this is what I do. If it doesn't do it, then I look for expressions that were accidentally given values. A bad habit that I have is to copy expressions so that I don't have to hunt down font combinations, etc. -- but forget to remove or change the playback content. Dennis On Sat, April 23,

[Finale] Stray things on PDF that I can't find

Hi all, Here's an image comparing export-to-PDF vs. print-to-PDF. The export has those stray "3" characters at the bottom of page 2. I can't locate them in the Finale file. They appear to be slightly larger versions of the "3" that I
