[Finale] Rant alert: chord spelling...

2012-05-30 Thread Steve Parker
Not a question nor anything I have any hope will ever get sorted... Why oh why can finale not try normal spellings of notes before exotic ones..? If I have F - A - B# why can Finale not know to try F - A - C when I push '9' rather than Gbb - G## - C ? I change every note individually

Hi all! I'm having another bout of trying to sort everything that niggles me in Finale... ;-) Any suggestions for chord symbol fonts/settings? I'm looking for something clear to use with Maestro but with a fairly 'thick' house style (staff lines 0.01). Also, I always use the triangle for a

Maybe this type of topic has been up here earlier. If so it has passed by my attention. My 2006 Mac Pro has a 2 * 2.66GHzDual-Core Intel Xeon processor and I have 5GB of RAM. When applications run, I am pretty satisfied by the performance, but starting up and changing between applications

Hi Chuck, Thanks, I'll look at these. Do you use them with a generally handwritten look or with Maestro? A PDF would be great! Thanks! Steve P. On 30 May 2012, at 15:09, Chuck Israels cisra...@comcast.net wrote: Steve, Look at Bill Duncan's chord fonts available from Nick Carter at NPC

Bills stuff is all done with maestro, at least that was the intention. His fonts look great with maestro. I use the chord , over sized time signatures and articulations fonts in all my works Sent from my iSomething -- On May 30, 2012, at 12:35 PM, Steve Parker st...@pinkrat.co.uk wrote: Hi

Yes, it is designed to look good with Maestro (though I imagine it would work well with other roughly similar fonts). Bill created the articulation font symbols to include things like jazz falloffs that would look appropriate with Maestro. He spent the better part of a day in our home (when

I think they just wanted to avoid the 13 moniker. I am not at all happy to hear they are dropping support for 10.5, but by the time it happens I may not care as much. Whether Patterson Plugins makes the transition, especially on the Windows side, remains to be seen. On Wed, May 30, 2012 at 5:44

Good. MakeMusic finally sees that they need to fix things rather than just making everyone pay for the next version and maybe fixing stuff. Will totally be interested in the iPad app. Hopefully it will be great. They really need a SmartMusic iPad version….. -- Eric Dannewitz

Between the number 13 and the Mayan Apocalypse, I thought we'd throw the towel in this year :-). It is coincidence however that it happened to be what would have become the 2013 version. We won't be moving back to the yearly release cycle even after the next major release next year. We try to
