[Finale] Preferred method for entering notes/etc into finale 2012

As a relative newcomer to finale I would like to seek the opinion of people out there and which means They think is the quickest way to input notation etc into finale on the completion of a Pen and paper sketch Do most people tend to have templates already set up for the project they're about

Re: [Finale] Preferred method for entering notes/etc into finale 2012

I use "speedy" with a midi keyboard and find it's very, very quick for entering notes. Apparently the 'powers that be' at Finale much prefer "simple" but I just don'y see it myself. My biggest fear is that someday they'll dump "speedy". I use templates that I've created for almost all my projects

Re: [Finale] Preferred method for entering notes/etc into finale 2012

I think many of the people who have used Finale or a while use Speedy, with or without a midi keyboard (in my case it's with). It used to be Make Music's recommended method, and that's what we got used to and developed the habits. Latterly it would seem that Simple entry has been improved

Re: [Finale] Preferred method for entering notes/etc into finale 2012

And the biggest reason for my use of Speedy entry is - pitch first, then note value. I can't wrap my head around the opposite way. Perhaps if Simple were to have that option, I'd have reason to consider changing. Chuck Sent from my iPhone > On Feb 17, 2016, at 2:52 PM, Mike Greensill

Re: [Finale] Preferred method for entering notes/etc into finale 2012

Totally agree. The only difference for me is that I use Speedy with my computer keyboard as a 3-octave keyboard (z-m, a-j, q-u) to select the pitch, rather than arrow keys. Very quick and efficient, and one of the main reasons I haven't been tempted by other notation apps. Aaron. On Wed, Feb

Re: [Finale] Preferred method for entering notes/etc into finale 2012

That's funny - I use Speedy also, but I select the value on the QWERTY, then press the pitch on the midi. Maybe you're not using a midi keyboard? So for me, it's note value first, then pitch. However, "pitch first" is great for banjos! I've gotten to be pretty adept at using 2 keyboards. I also

Re: [Finale] Preferred method for entering notes/etc into finale2012

My setup is MIDI keyboard to my left, perpendicular to the computer keyboard and monitor. Left hand on the MIDI keyboard, right hand on the number keypad makes for very fast note entry. As the MIDI keyboard is full-size 88 keys, I can instantly enter any note in any octave, plus of course when

Re: [Finale] Preferred method for entering notes/etc into finale2012

Count me as one more in the Speedy club. I use Speedy Entry with the qwerty keyboard. mdl ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu https://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale To unsubscribe from finale send a message to: finale-unsubscr...@shsu.edu
