Re: [Finale] document styles?
This is a recognised bug in Finale 2011. The configuration files have a new location in Finale 2011. Finale should copy all the necessary files to ~user/Library/Application Support/MakeMusic/Finale 2011/ but in some cases this doesn't work correctly. To make things worse, there are several pages in the manual that still give the old location (I've alerted MakeMusic about this). The solution is to be found here: http://makemusic.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4085/ Download the copyFinale2011files.tool from the link on that page and run it.

[Finale] OT - Coil punch/binding machine
We just moved from a 4 BR house to a 2 BR apartment and no longer have room for a lightly used coil binder (and a supply of coils) bought from Nick Carter a couple of years ago. (And we are steps from an Office Max, where I can get scores bound. Back to urban life and an out-of-car experience!) If there is anyone on the list who needs this machine, please contact me off list. Please excuse what might be a breech of list protocol. I don't mean to be using it as a substitute for Ebay, but this is where the folks are who might find the machine useful, and I'd be pleased to be able to help someone.

[Finale] Staff style or expression patch change to call up non-GM Garritan Instrument?
Hi all, I usually don't get caught in confusion, but I'll tell ya, the 2010 specifications for instruments has so many options I'm close to clueless on some things. (I've totally given up on percussion, but I'm only doing demos so can live with the built-in set.) What I do need is a way for a single staff to change from clarinet (in the GM spec) to bass clarinet (not in the GM spec) and call up the appropriate Garritan Instrument (which has bass clarinet). How do I get one player to change? I've created a patch change expression that works for flute to piccolo and back (both in GM), but there's no bass clarinet to choose from. And there's no patch change that I can find in the staff styles. How does this work? Thanks, Dennis ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

Re: [Finale] Staff style or expression patch change to call up non-GM Garritan Instrument?
Hi Dennis, The GM SmartMusic SoftSynth sounds that come with Finale aren't range-limited, so low notes using the GM clarinet usually sound close enough to a bass clarinet for GM purposes (certainly more like a bass clarinet than the SmartMusic SoftSynth violin sounds like an actual violin). Regardless, you can't mix and match SmartMusic SoftSynth instruments and Garritan sounds in the same 16-channel bank. You can, however, specify (for example) SmartMusic SoftSynth for Bank 1 (Channels 1-16), and Garritan Instruments for Finale for Bank 2 (Channels 17-32). The way to get the player to switch instruments is to include a *channel change* expression (*not* a patch change). So if, e.g., GM clarinet is Channel 1 and Garritan bass clarinet is Channel 17 (i.e., the first slot in Bank 2), then you would configure your to B.Cl. expression to trigger a change to Channel 17. I should add that IMO mixing Garritan and SmartMusic SoftSynth instruments is a terrible idea (they do not blend well) and you are best to choose either all-Garrtian or all-SmartMusic SoftSynth whenever practical.

Re: [Finale] Staff style or expression patch change to call up non-GM Garritan Instrument?
Top-posting on this one! Thanks for the advice on how to trigger the change. I can do that. (I also tried assigning them to layers, but the expressions only work with one channel.) Yes, I use all Garritan, except the percussion, which I can't figure out how to configure -- at all. Just plain not at all. I have 17-32 set up for SmartMusic SoftSynth just for the percussion channel. (The old Cakewalk/Sonar percussion maps were great. One side had the line, the other side had the instrument. Drag a rubber band, connect, done.) Thanks again!
