[Finale] Chromatic harmonica notaton

2006-10-14 Thread AJ Azure
Hi, This is a long shot but, I was wondering if anyone might have a pre-existing set up/plug-in for creating harmonica tab and notation in Finale. Specifically, 16 hole chromatic. I'd like to be able to do a drag and drop the way you can do for fretted instruments. TIA :) _A

[Finale] Odd Transposition Behavior

2006-10-14 Thread Gerry Kirk
I often compose for symphonic band on a 10-line template I have created using Setup Wizard. Then I create a 27-staff full score (from a Finale template) and import lines (one at a time) from my condensed draft into my full score. An odd behavior occurs: each imported line that I copy/paste

Since all staves transpose by the same interval regardless of how the trasposition attribute is set, my guess is that the 10 stave template is set to a major key and the 27 stave is set to minor key (or vice versa). JB In a message dated 10/14/06 12:57:24 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I
