Title: Re: [Finale] fonts in OS X (slightly OT)
Chuck--
If you have OS 10.3, check out FontBook. Its sort of an ATM-ish thing built right into the OS. We added some support for it in Finale 2005.
Otherwise, youll want to investigate something like Extensis Suitcase.

Is this the first bug report for FinWin 2005a?
Twice, in two unrelated files, Finale has added quite a number (hundreds

It may be possible to remove the MM rest shape from the spot in which it appears in the shape selection window and replace it with a new shape copied from another place. At least I'd try this in one document to see if that solved the problem.

Hello Darcy - it is quite simple to balance instruments in Finale - perhaps not
as simple as a mixer, but not at all difficult.
You need to understand there are three ways in which the amplitude of a note can
be manipulated in MIDI. The most simple to understand is the KEY VELOCITY,

Thanks for the tip. You're right, it's *not* as easy as a mixer, but
it's better than using the MIDI tool, and it will do for now.

Is there a significant (or indeed any) advantage as far as Finale is

Well, the M-Audio model is a great deal, but it has mini keys (that's

Hi Peter,
Your method does not appear to be compatible with Human Playback, even
when setting the Human Playback options to Incorporate MIDI Data.
Creating an expression which sets the Channel Pressure to zero has no
effect. This is using the Finale sound font.
