Caught me napping (literally!) Yup, percussion maps. This means in Speedy Entry you hold down the Eb below middle C while hitting the proper rhythmic value on the computer keyboard, and the note that actually shows up is an X head note on the 5th line. (Sorry, but as far as I know, there is no way to take advantage of Percussion Maps in Simple Entry. Anybody know different? Please speak up if you do!) It also means that you should use the Setup Wizard, choosing Drum Set as the instrument, to use the default percussion map, because NOT using the default is too darned complicated. And furthermore, if you really want non-standard mappings (like you wanted the X-head on the 4th space, rather than one of the more standard places) then you are going to have to edit the percussion map to make the note show up on a different line than the default. If you look up Percussion Map in the manual and still don't get it, contact me offline and I will send you the handout I give to my students.

Re: [Finale] FinMac 2007 Repeats on DS?
Christopher Smith wrote: Anyone know how to make Finale play repeats on DS? For playback only. Finale obstinately refuses to take the first ending when it is on the DS, although it does it fine at the beginning of the piece. FinMac2007c Christopher (yes I KNOW the rule is NOT to repeat on DC, which is why Finale does it. I need it anyway.) Wow, they really changed that ending definition dialog, didn't they? I just figured it out -- in the definition dialog for the first ending you need to enter the following 1,3 in the top blank to define the Ending Number. Then place 1. in the Alternate Ending Text blank. You can enter whatever text you wish to show up here. Even something like 1. (play on D.C. also) if there's room in the ending for it to display properly. So essentially you need to use the top blank, the Ending Number blank to define which endings in the course of the song this is to be. -- David H.

The third scale degree, being in the tonic chord, does not feel unstable melodically to me, unless it is harmonized to make it need resolution. This seems to me to be a major flaw in your argument about IV. -- David W.

Re: [Finale] inserting measures
Actually, Hal's solution is a lot less involved than mine. I suggest using his method if it works for you. Christopher On Jun 3, 2007, at 4:54 PM, Bob Florence wrote: Harold Owen wrote: Hi Bob. I had some trouble inserting some measures while in Page View FinMac2007). If I did it in Scroll View, went to the first measure, and updated the layout it would work. Another work-around might be 1) add the two bars at the end, 2) cut them using Cmnd-X, then 3) go to the place you want them and use Cmnd-I to insert them. It's a shame that things tend to get flaky after 200 bars or so. Hal Hi Hal, I got the same solution from Christopher Smith. Thanks for the reply, BF Hi All; I have a piece for jazz band that is 641 measures long. It goes back and forth between 6/4 and 3/2. I want to add 2 measures in the middle.It keeps shutting down . Is this not possible. I am on Mac Fin 2007. Thanks, Bob Florence ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
[Finale] Expression Tool Aberration
Hi Finale Gurus: Anyone else experiencing the following aberration when using the Expression Tool in Mac-07? I create an expression (such as a rehearsal number, or cresc.) and place it in my score, and it jumps to a location other than where I have pointed. It is sometimes misplaced as much as one staff, or one measure. I then delete it, and re-place it, and it is fine. Just an observation.

[snip] I'm glad I could help. Now the question that pops into my mind is this: How would a person have to number that original first ending in a lengthy work which has many other pairs of first/second endings before the D.C. sends the player back to the original section? I can envision having to enter 1,7 or 1,13 or some such for a lengthy work. -- David H. Bailey [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

I mentioned a similar problem on MM's forum a couple months ago, but got no response from other users - perhaps my issue is really a feature. If a staff is reduced using the resize tool and note positioning's note alignment point is defined as horizontal click position, then the expression shows up to the left of where you click on that staff. The distance it's displaced depends on how much the staff is reduced. Is this what you are seeing, or is it something different?

The distance it's displaced depends on how much the staff is reduced. It has been a known bug for several years. Ironically, it appeared at least five years ago, was fixed in one version, and then returned. The 'jump' occurs vertically, too. MM ignores it requests to fix it. Use system reduction instead staff reduction and the vertical error does not happen. I don't know if this avoids the horizontal problem.
