[Finale] Music Spacing Problem

2007-09-20 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[Finale 2002] I have a passage with some very short notes at the end of the bar, which Finale will not space out adequately (using note spacing the notes get squashed, time-sig and beat spacing are too wide). I can fix this problem by increasing the minimum size of the measure in document

[Finale] mirroring behaviour

I am having problems in 2k7 mirroring passages using the method to shift-option-click on the target measure. This doesn't work with mirroring, it seems, and I am now remembering there was a bug somewhere. Can someone tell me what the workaround was? Johannes -- http://www.musikmanufaktur.com

Today I reached my limit with my POS Microtek scanner and threw it out, in pieces. I've been wanting a better scanner for some time and now I'm there. So, to the collective wisdom of this list, what are some of your recommendations on scanners? I'm on a Mac, and I'd like to be able to

Virtually all scanners are USB 2.0 now. There just aren't very many FireWire scanners out there. The Epson Perfection V200 Photo is a very good inexpensive scanner. The bundled dust removal software actually works quite well. Cheers, - Darcy - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Brooklyn, NY On 20

Sorry it's taken me so long to respond on this. But today I realized, quite by accident, that every time I attempted to change the time signature on the recalcitrant measure, it was actually changing the 4th measure way back at the beginning, even tho I was selecting the 56th measure.

Thanks Hiro (and Darcy), After I posted the message I came to realize the USB is just fine for my needs. Hiro, I was looking at HP's site earlier, and some of their mid-range models do look interesting. And you're right. Every HP printer I've had has been a tank, and the output has

I've seen this bug in 2007. Another way it shows is when you double click a measure in the Measure Tool to add a double bar, and it adds it in two places. THere are other manifestations, but I can't think of another right now. To the best of my knowledge, it is not present in 2008 (one of
