All customers and transporters of the widgets sign a contract that explicitly states that they are responsible for any accidents or widget malfunctions which occur while the widgets are either in their possession or are being shipped by their designated delivery agents. By Bob's own authority, and against the recommendation of highly qualified advisors, he makes a change to the widgets' design which makes them highly unstable. FooCo orders a shipment of widgets to be delivered by BarCo. Both companies sign the contracts described above and proceed with the purchase and transportation of the widgets to FooCo's warehouse. The widgets, being highly unstable, explode causing the untimely demise of not only the BarCo driver but a busload of nuns and school children. Bob's company immediately files for bankruptcy protection and most of the corporate officers book flights to Hispaniola with a connecting flight to (apparently) Mars. Who, or what, is legally responsible for the millions of dollars that it will take to make this yesterday's news? My bet is that Bob (if he's still around and didn't book all of his ready cash into a Jamaican bank) is going to be living out of a cardboard box when he gets out of prison.

That is why I don't think any of us would have a legal case against individual board members when/if MakeMusic goes under. To relate this to your widgets-that-blow-up example, if the widgets were really dynamite and were said to be dynamite when the contracts were signed and it blew up in shipment, there would be no individual culpability because everybody knew it might blow up before the contracts were signed. Just as we all knew that there might be trouble if we upgraded to a tethered version of the software. Your example assumes that only the president knew of the flaws in the widgets -- every Finale user who upgraded to the tethered version knew of the authentication scheme before installing the software.

Re: [Finale] American Styles (was Best Works of the 1920s)
I have read serious speculation that popular music in the sense of music of the people (and I agree with you completely on this meaning) COULD NOT have existed in class-divided and class-conscious Europe, and therefore, as a musical art form that cut across all societal classes, was indeed a new and essentially North American phenomenon. This kind of reasoning can only function in the absence of any examination of the actual music. The dance collections of Attaignant and Susato, English madrigals and glees, the songs collected in Thomas DUrfey's _Wit and Mirth_, and those borrowed for _The Beggar's Opera_--all, and much, much, else are examples of European popular music predating the founding of the United States. Hell, To Anacreon in Heaven, whose melody serves The Star Spangled Banner, is pre-US pop music. So is Yankee Doodle. So is Hail to the Chief (originally sung at boat races). As for class-divided and class-conscious Europe, 19th-c. America was just as highly divided in this way--but our classes were defined by skin color and immigration status. Wherever there are cities (i.e., in any civilization), there is popular music. This is true worldwide and throughout history. see Ch. 4 of Charles Hamm's _Yesterdays_ for the great popularity of Italian opera in the US in the early 19th c. I look forward to seeing it, but remain for the time being convinced that this would have been in the seaport cities that maintained close connections to Europe, and not in the interior heartland. In 1820? *What* interior heartland? There was an interior alright, but it was very sparsely populated and could hardly be considered the heartland of anything. A. P. Heinrich's experiences in Kentucky 1817-23 are instructive. This was a brand new state, as far West as American civilization extended at that time. Heinrich ended up in Kentucky because he'd been hired to conduct opera in Pittsburgh, but found when he got there that the job had fallen through, so he pushed on down the Ohio. The music in the KY towns he visited was typical pop music of the time: waltzes, schottisches, cotillons, and pop songs imported from Philadelphia and New York. The basic 19th-c. American pop song form consisting of solo stanzas interspersed with an ensemble (chorus) refrain was already present, even in this remote area. And BTW, note that this standard form requires the people not only to be able to read music, but to sing in harmony. (Oh, and while I was on the Amazon website I realized why I had not ordered another book that you recommended. With a list price of $175 and no discounted copies available, it's just a little too rich for my blood!) John Yeah, sorry about that. I got my copy of _The Birth of the Orchestra_ at a prepublication price of $70.00, which looks like more and more of a bargain to me as time goes by.

Jim - Original Message - From: Christopher Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: finale@shsu.edu Sent: Sunday, March 13, 2005 9:36 AM Subject: Re: [Finale] Instrument changing - midscore Here's step by step, assuming you have already set your staff to clarinet clef and transposition. Staff Tool, staff menu, Define Staff Styles. Available Styles, click the button New to the right. Name it Trombone Transposition Select the box First Clef, Select and make it bass clef Transposition, click Select and make sure it it set to None. When you exit this box, there will be a check mark where previously there was a dash. If you want the score to reflect the new instrument staff names, change the Full Staff Name to Trombone, and the Abbr. Staff Name to trb. There shouldn't be anything else to touch here. Clicking any box might turn it full on or full off, which means that that aspect WILL change when you apply the staff style. A dash means no change will be applied. OK your way back out. To apply it, select the passage with Staff Tool, and in the Staff Menu select Apply Staff Style. Choose Trombone Transposition, and all will be astonishingly perfect. I suggest that you apply it from the first measure containing trombone notes (not before, as some do) until the next measure containing clarinet notes. However, I would put To trombone as a staff expressions IMMEDIATELY after the last note of clarinet, and On trombone or Trombone over the first note of trombone music. Similarly to go back to clarinet. Obviously, clarinet and trumpet have the same clef and transposition, so just the staff expression indicating the instrument change is all you need. Notice that there is a pre-made Clarinet staff style. This is designed to be applied to sax staves.

Jim I just need to quote David Bailey's original reply. I'm not sure how easy it is to do this in 2004, but it is dead easy in 2005, under Playback Options for the expression in question. I suggest assigning the playback to the beginning of the bar, as it takes a fraction of a second to change patches, which might cause the playback to hiccup if you assign to the first note. If you have a note on the first beat, do what you can to switch the patch a bit earlier. The Clarinet to Trumpet is extremely simple -- create an expression TRUMPET which also includes a patch change to the trumpet sound (if you want accurate playback) since clarinet and trumpet share the same transposition and clef. Then create a second expression CLARINET which sets the patch back to the clarinet sound. Christopher ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

[Finale] odd problem with ps files, pdfs in os x
Today, I noticed that a tuplet (triplet quaver and crotchet) was missing from a pdf created in os x from an eps file (created using the 'compile postscript listing' function.) FWIW, it doesn't print when printed on a non-ps printer. (I don't have a ps printer at home so can't check that.) It seems fine however, when I create the pdf directly within Finale, but that has it's own potential problems. I don't know if this is a bug with Finale or OS X. However, it is frustrating, and further erodes my confidence in producing pdfs in OS X. If anyone wants to see if they can replicated the problem on OS X, I can email the file to them. It's a small file- about 120k. David ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

Re: [Finale] GPO Studio Not Found (Mac)
Title: Re: [Finale] GPO Studio Not Found (Mac) Dear Darcy, Yes, I get it, and I agree it's annoying, but I've found that I can save time and energy by bringing up the file in Finale first, then opening GPO Studio, then changing the MIDI Setup. Although the directions for GPO Studio say it should be opened before Finale, it's not necessary as long as you know you will have to reset the MIDI Setup after loading in your GPO instruments. This is especially true when using more than four or five instruments because everything is so much slowed down after opening GPO Studio. I'm on iMac G4 with 1 GB RAM. The bug should be fixed, although I'm not sure it's the fault of Finale. What I'd really like is for Finale to give us a really comprehensive set-up for use with GPO that would read slurs and enter CC-64 information, make sure CC-1 sets all instruments above zero, and links the playback record button to the record playback in GPS Studio. BTW, I have a copy of Sibelius 3.1, and it provides a special version of the Kontakt Player that seems to offer more control of the GPO Studio from within Sibelius. Playback is automatically set up properly. However, the problem of clicks and slowing down of cpu functions is about the same as it is with Finale. Of course, things will not improve much on the Mac side with GPO until Native Instruments decides to optimize their code for Mac System X.

Hi David, Have you checked to see if you have multiple versions of the Finale fonts installed in multiple locations on your HD? It may be that you still have the old Fin2004 fonts (with the PDF issues) installed somewhere on your system. I would suggest searching your hard drive and deleting all your Finale fonts, then reinstalling one set (either PostScript, or TrueType, but *not* both) from the Fin2005 CD.
