I think (hope) most folks here know about the persistence of the
combination of triplets and dotted-eighth-sixteenth as a triple feel in
Bach and other Baroque composers. I have, however, been aware of a longer

Henry,
Isn't this already implemented in the HP jazz settings (and in the
MIDI Tool)? I don't fool with HP and MIDI settings all that much. I
suffer with global swing settings when there are many passages that
are not correctly played that way in my own music, because I don't
want to
Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas!

What is the best way to create a page of performance notes that
includes text instructions and small (one measure) musical excerpts?
Can a word processing document (formatted with musical inserts) be
dropped into a Finale page in toto? I have not had to do this

Chuck,
If text is the greatest of the two I would use a word processor and import
the music as graphics. If music is the predominant thing on the page I might
do it in Finale, depends on the project.
You could capture a graphic of a word processing page and import the
resulting graphic

When I have done this, I've made the excerpts in Finale and used the
graphics tool to export them as TIFF or EPS.

Apple's Pages app (part of iWork 08) is well-suited to this. Print
your Finale examples to PDF, then import them into your Pages doc. You
can mask or crop the PDFs directly in Pages.
I believe EPS also works, although as I have said, I have had no need
for EPS for many years. In my

Thanks Darcy,
I have iWork too, so I will use Pages.
(BTW - I will see you at the IAJE Conference in blustery, cold
Toronto. We will be there on Thursday and Friday.)

I have just done it all in Finale with blank notation (except for the
excerpts) and text boxes. It is convenient to have it as part of the whole
Finale file. There are some limitations of Finale text formatting, but it
really is fine for most uses. Actually I have done whole books entirely in

That's rather an understatement. g As best as I can tell, Finale
does not let you do tabs, adjust paragraph leading, or automatically
insert smart (i.e., curly) quotes. And that's

Let's say you have these tied note durations:
quarter-eight-sixteenth
You allowed to use one dotted note - where would you use the dot? To
create a dotted quarter or as a dotted eight? Would you use the same
rule if were half-quarter-eight pattern?
Best regards,
Jari Williamsson
Thank you, Jari.
There are a couple of useful things there I didn't know.
Merry Christmas,

Definitely quarter + dotted eighth. (When a beat contains sixteenth
subdivisions, I generally try to show the beginning of the beat.)
And yes, definitely half + dotted quarter for the second example.

Just curious: do the dotted versions scan better than the tied versions?
I get requests from players to replace dots with ties.

Depends on what you're used to, and how much practice you have at
both/either. I prefer dots myself, but some people don't see them
