[Finale] chord symbol items

2016-01-23 Thread Haroldo Mauro
Is there a plugin, or any other way, to add space among chord symbol suffix items globally and proportionally, when increasing chord symbols size through menu Utilities->Change->Chords? These items will collide when increased by a large percentage, so the idea is that the space among these

No, and this is a HUGE hairy lack in the program right now. Please write tech support and complain about this. It is supposed to be something that computers do easily, yet there is no way to do it ever since chords started attaching to measures instead of items. In the past, you could attach a

Yup, different libraries is the way to go. My first one took me a week, my second took me most of the day. Huge pain. Plus, there is a long-standing bug where if you import a Jazz library into a Maestro document, the parentheses end up being Maestro instead of Jazz, which have a different

Of course! You're right about chord letters being unchangeable. On 23/01/2016, at 16:19, Christopher Smith wrote: > Yup, different libraries is the way to go. My first one took me a week, my > second took me most of the day. Huge pain. Plus, there is a long-standing bug > where if you import

Thanks for replying. I agree it is a huge lack. I will mention it to tech support. The plugin would be a solution for me, since what I usually need is to resize changes for the whole document/instruments. To resize one or two chords once in a while would be easy just to edit the chord itself or

Hi Barbara, Yes, there is software that contains sound samples (I guess a piano sound is what you’d like - it’s what I always want). Garage Band does this on Mac, and I’m sure there are others. Whether or not they are free, I don’t know, but you can surely find something that will work.

Hi Chuck, I need this for a piano pupil. They don't have a piano at home, so I thought I could lend her my spare MIDI keyboard, but tonight i realised that she may need some software as MIDI interface. To that end I'm using Finale, of course, but I was wondering if there is other (preferably

Hi Barbara, On a Mac, you can use Garage Band, and there’s something called Ableton that is also available. It’s generally clumsy to have to use sound samples on the computer. I wish I could find a 61 key MIDI controller keyboard with good piano sound and speakers so I wouldn’t have to do
