So, how would you freeze the measure width which won't be screwed with
Music Spacing?
If you apply Music Spacing, it will affect measure widths.
P.S. By the way, I used to [5]+DoubleClick to space music back in v2.6-
3.2 days.  What happened to that feature?  If that were still available,
I could turn AutoSpacing option off.  Any tip?
It's in the MassMover metatools. '4' is for note spacing.

[Finale] Music stand and stand light recommendations

2005-02-21 Thread Jonathan Smith
Hi Darcy,
Have you tried Konig  Meyer yet?
http://www.k-m.de/D/Katalog/index.asp?spr=EN
They have a great range of stands and accessories and they have both 
mains and battery powered lights. They also do a stand 'kit' which 
comes with stand, light and a carrying case which is really useful if 
you intend to move around with your gigs.

Jonathan
Hey gang,
Okay, my 18-piece band is going to start gigging soon and I'm going to
need to invest in some stands and stand lights for us.  I'm looking for
recommendations.
The stands must be lightweight and collapsable -- not necessarily wire
stands, but I have to be able to fit 20 of them in a luggable wheel
cart.

 My strongest feeling, though, was that they could have built a couple
 of schools in New York for the same money and created something of
 both beauty and lasting value.

We have a similar argument in the UK for stopping the funding of all opera. 
Hurrah!

I believe that there is an error in this line of thinking.  There is no 
the same money.  If this privately-funded project did not exist, the 
funds collected for it would not have gone to building schools.  Christo 
and Jeanne-Claude fund their projects largely by selling original 
artwork, prints, books, and other objects based upon their project.  
It's a self-sustaining, circular funding arrangement that resembles 
entertainment-industry marketing much more than any form of philanthropy 
or public works.

The serious issue of school funding -- and for all of us on this list, 
music education funding -- has to be put in the context of the 
priorities set by the state for its budget and, to a much smaller 
extent,  for private philanthropy (which is intimately related to 
taxation).  In _this_ context, we are really talking about the same 
money, and music education ultimately does stand in direct competition 
with guns, butter, highways, pensions, healthcare, and protecting the 
environment.

Re: [Finale] Respacing Music

2005-02-21 Thread Christopher Smith
Jacki,
You'll have to respace it before updating layout.
The easiest way to respace is Mass Edit tool, Select All (cmd-A) then 
hit the number 4 over the E and R keys, which is the MetaTool for Note 
Spacing. You may have to unlock the systems if they are locked, so that 
the respacing actually has someplace to send the squooshed bars if it 
has to.

I strongly believe that we needs the arts, but let's look at this from a 
different vantage point.  What would, say, Martians think if were watching 
us from space and observing us as one people with single set of resources, 
and seeing the dramatic disparity between The Gates and a middle school in 
the Bronx that has no resources at all:  no books, no lockers, nothing they 
need.

This is illogical, Crystal. Having art in the park has nothing at all 
to do with the condition of our schools. We can have both, one or the 
other or neither. They are NOT interdependent. Using your premise, 
there ought not to be any space exploration because our health care 
system is wanting.
