Re: [Finale] Alt-v-a
The annoying thing is that, if you define a keyboard shortcut for Finale using the Mac OS Keyboard Shortcuts function, it shows up in the menu and the title in the menu bar flashes when you press the shortcut, but the command isn't actually executed. In some other apps it's useful and you are not in fact limited to shortcuts involving the command key: I programmed some shortcuts for TextEdit with just function keys and they work fine.

Re: [Finale] Alt-v-a
Hi Michael, You're right -- I forgot that you can also use the function keys. But you cannot, for instance, program a keyboard shortcut like control-F or shift-option-A. Every shortcut has to involve either the command key or a function key, which to me makes the feature almost useless. Well, that and the fact that it doesn't work in Finale in the first place. - Darcy - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Brooklyn, NY On 17 Mar 2005, at 10:38 AM, Michael Cook wrote: The annoying thing is that, if you define a keyboard shortcut for Finale using the Mac OS Keyboard Shortcuts function, it shows up in the menu and the title in the menu bar flashes when you press the shortcut, but the command isn't actually executed.

[Finale] Handwritten fonts
I know that the Jazz font is quite popular with writers and players who are accustomed to handwritten music. Personally I have always regarded it as rather silly, if you're using a computer, to pretend that you're not. But I do recognize that some people like to feel that the music is new, has just been written, and is not yet set in stone. The Inkpen font is also popular with Sibelius users. I have a small project in which I do want to produce some music that looks handwritten. My own style, pre-computer, was distinctive in that I attached all stems, whether up or down ones, to the right-hand side of note-heads.

Personally I have always regarded it as rather silly, if you're using a computer, to pretend that you're not. But I do recognize that some people like to feel that the music is new, has just been written, and is not yet set in stone. The Inkpen font is also popular with Sibelius users. I have a small project in which I do want to produce some music that looks handwritten.

In Document Options Stems, you can set Stem Connections for the closed (font character 207) and open (font character 250) noteheads in order to attach the stems to the noteheads in any place you choose. -- Brad Beyenhof [EMAIL PROTECTED] my blog: http://augmentedfourth.blogspot.com Life would be so much easier if only (3/2)^12=(2/1)^7. ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

It's a Windows shortcut key so Mac can't do that :-( I'm not sure what you mean by that -- it has a dedicated function in Finale which isn't like any other program I have. I am certainly confused here. The subject sez Alt-V-A, which is shortcut key for Windows regardless of application. Now Alt+Shift+S isn't. So, did FinWin added a hotkey to this function all the sudden, but didn't do so for Mac? -- - Hiro Hiroaki Honshuku, A-NO-NE Music, Boston, MA http://a-no-ne.com http://anonemusic.com ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

Re: [Finale] Alt-v-a
Thanks Jari, On the mac show active layer only is in the Options menu. I looked in Help/keyboard shortcuts but none is listed for the Options menu. I tried Alt+Shift+S with amusing results - it launched a demonstration of iKey which I had installed s while back but forgotten about.

Pressing 'A' after that executes the option underlined with an 'A' in the menu, in older version that was Show Active Layer Only. In FinWin2005, there's a dedicated shortcut key for Show Active Layer Only, Alt+Shift+S. Perhaps the Mac version has a similar one?
