If the music is used under colored lights, the red will disappear. For that reason I've found that it's best to keep everything black. Just sayin',,, Lon On May 12, 2013, at 2:57 AM, Haroldo Mauro wrote: I want to assign a red color for coda and segno signs but at the same time keep all

There's Booklet Creator: http://bookletcreator.com/ Works for me, although I've been creating booklets in Preview by adding files by dragging them into the sidebar. But that's for creating booklets that are just straight front-to-back with comb binding. Lon On Apr 20, 2013, at 2:32 PM, Ryan

I've been using Finale since 2000 and I've found that when I need truly realistic playback I need to go elsewhere for it. In my case I use MOTU's Digital Performer. I DO NOT try to import or export MIDI files, as I've found that to be too problematic. So I end up doing all of the work twice,

In my somewhat less than humble opinion, you're driving yourself nuts trying to do this in Finale, when a MIDI sequencing program, such as DP or Logic, is much more suitable. On Apr 7, 2013, at 1:21 PM, Phil Buglass wrote: Hi, This is a great idea. The problem is that these tempo marks

This is really good info to know. I just set up my New Jazz Template with JABB 3 sounds as first priority, GPO 4 as second. Got the sounds to reload, and also customized the view so that everything shows. I'm liking the Score Manager more and more. Thanks, Lon On Mar 29, 2013, at 12:27

The Garritan for Finale library does contain saxes, and no, installing GPO will not erase anything. You'll then have your choice of which library to draw from for each individual instrument in your score. On Feb 22, 2013, at 4:23 PM, Phil Buglass wrote: Thank you for the input. Most people

Why not just delete the unwanted staff? That's what I do in this case. On Mar 16, 2012, at 11:14 PM, John Blane wrote: Yes, you can remove the empty staff. 2 things to check: 1) in the staff attribute for the LH staff, make sure the Allow hiding when empty box is checked 2) Staff Tool:

I just worked on a chart in which the composer (a guitar player) wrote E7(add2). I'd call that E9, but the guitar player said that he would put the 9th in a top voice in my case, and an inner voice in his. I argued that the chord symbol is not meant to indicate voicings, only the notes to be

I just tried extracting a part in Fin (Mac) 2012. It looks exactly the same as the linked part, so yes, you must be doing something wrong. Can't say what it might be. Are the parts displayed correctly in the Score Manager? (found in Window Menu) On Dec 14, 2011, at 3:24 PM, Lawrence Yates

You need to create a new part that includes both the vocal and the piano. In Manage Parts, select New Part. Under Available Instruments, piano is listed with an arrow next to it. Select Vocal and add it, then select Piano, and add it. That should give you what you need. On Nov 21, 2011, at
