Re: [Finale] Tuplets with Unequal Values

The same process -- define the tuplet by using the correct note value (e.g. 8th note) then go back and change that note to a quarter note. David H. Bailey Pablo Castells wrote: Thanks, that works! But what if the first value is the quarter note (or a dotted value, or any value other than the

Ok. Sorry, I didn't really read your question closely enough. Logic does not automatically assign sounds to an imported midi track(s). Finale is based on GM (General Midi). Pianos on ch 1, bass on ch 2, perc on ch 10, etc Any volume, pan, dynamic, accent, etc are all midi info as is the prog

Hello Randolph, Very interesting. I've upgraded 100s of 2.63 choral files and have good results going directly to 2008. Out of curiosity, what type of music are you upgrading and what types of issues were you having (I agree that 2009 is a disaster to upgrade directly)? Thanks, Steve 5/10/09 10

The biggest problem in upgrading old files to Finale 2009 is the scattering of expressions. In the files I was working with, most of my dynamics showed up far to the right of the page. A dynamic attached to beat 2 in the original might show up as belonging to beat 10 in the upgraded file. A

Hi Finale people, I haven't been following the process, but now need the information about transfering sibelius music to finale Is Dolet a good way to do this? Looks like it needs big learning curve. I have Finale 2009 but have not installed it because I didn't want to ruin old files from 2006

Dolet is indeed the best way, but there is another way that will probably work better than MIDI. Have the Finale file sent as .PDF (or convert it yourself if you have Finale). Then use PhotoScore to scan directly from the .PDF to Sibelius. No printing stage is needed and the conversion is probably

Steve has a point. Finale 2008 does some things fairly well when opening an old file. Mid-measure clef changes stay put, for example. But the best method I've tried still involves going through v2002 first. -Randolph Peters Steve Fiskum wrote: I understand the issues with 2009 but what abou
