[Finale] Accidentals - what's up with f sharp?

2006-09-23 Thread YATESLAWRENCE
I've found a similar problem in winfin2006 - in speedy I press "S" to sharpen a note. This works on all notes except f where it changes the note to f double sharp. I didn't have this problem in fin02. Is this once again something that I have neglected to setup somewhere? Cheers,

This happens to me consistently in FinMac 2007, too, starting from a new document key signature C. Even weirder, when I hit the 9 to shift enharmonics, the D changes to an E with no double-flat, as it is supposed to! Definitely a bug, and definitely one that MakeMusic needs to know about

I just noticed something else. This feature only occurs when I've enharmonically switched the previous note. If I'm entering without a MIDI keyboard, I enter 'C' then sharp it - so it's not enharmonically flipping. If 'favor sharps' is on, then it won't either. Do this: Enter 'Db-D',

Here's the exact situation which I've just re-created in a new file: Horn in F part, key of F major, hence key sig of no sharps or flats. In speedy enter an F bottom space and press "s" to sharpen it - result - F double sharp. As far as I can see this only happens on F. Cheers, Lawrence

Furthermore, pressing "f" to flatten the f natural to an f flat merely inserts a natural sign as though the programme believes it to be an f sharp. This sounds like something to do with the transposition. I'll experiment a bit more, gotto go to a gig now. Cheers, Lawrence

I can't force the natural on the D -- it appears by default and when I hit the * key the natural disappears. With the natural showing, if the first note is changed to C# by whatever method, the natural disappears, as it should. Interestingly enough, though, with that enharmonic flip in

I can confirm that there is some strange behavior with accidentals in 2k7; I just haven't been able to pin it down. When I encounter some of these things, I'm often not sure if Finale is at fault, or I am, so I can be slow to catch them. As you can see, if you've been following the 2007

I never really thought of how Finale thinks of the notes. I just know that I more often work in atonal work, where I'd be clicking and dragging notes all over the place if that were the only solution. I prefer to keep my hands on the keyboards - a lot quicker. For now, I'll enter the

Oops. Never mind about using 'favor sharps' as a workaround. It happens the other way around with flats as well. I have to decide now whether to chuck the time I spent setting up this huge score and start over in 2k6 or stick with it and drag notes or apply the plug-in at the end (and
