In a recent version of Patterson Plugins I introduced a function to move lyric text blocks from one number to another. The next version will allow combining text blocks and moving between Verse, Chorus, and Section types. The function optional copies the system baselines for the score as well, and

Whoa, don’t get me started on the Lyric window. I could rant for days!!! On that same opera I mentioned in my previous message, the lyrics were completely unmanageable. I spent 10 days reentering all of the lyrics in both acts, creating a verse for each character in the opera. It helped immen

I created them with Keyboard Maestro on a Mac. Basically I select an expression and run the macro to delete it and then deal with the ensuing dialogs that tell me the expression is being used, and I select an existing one to replace it. It’s not the greatest, but it does reduce quite a bit of

This is a terribly vexing problem; worse, by far, than the bloated lyric window. What sort of macros do you use, JD? On Fri, Oct 4, 2019, 12:41 PM J D Thomas wrote: > Good tip Jef. I am in the habit of whenever I copy/paste from another > file, I immediately go into the Expression dialog and de

I often encounter duplicate or extraneous definitions of expressions or articulations. Does anyone know a way to find where they are used (if Finale refuses to delete them because they are used)? Either a plugin or a native Finale function? ___ Finale mai
