Re: [Finale] OT: current German spelling
If you feel the need to introduce your students to Eszett, then please with the correct pronoun: **das** Eszett. Howard On 20.09.2012 22:14, Steven Larsen wrote: Mässig is just fine. More often than not, it'll appear that way in print. But you should introduce them to 'der Eszett' so that, if they do run into it they don't think it's a 'b'.

Is Mäßig still correct? Is Mässig incorrect? I'm trying to introduce some German terms to my younger students, but I'd rather not introduce a new letter like ß if I don't need to.

Re: [Finale] OT: current German spelling
For the last decade or so Germany has been embroiled in a purported reform of the orthography of the German Language (Rechtsschreibreform). Not a bad idea, you might think, considering how fraught with difficulties the written language is/was. This movement, which is still very controversial — and which has been boycotted by several major national newspapers — has been spearheaded by a small group of educators and publishers in Stuttgart, who are not without their own financial interests in change. While their aims may once have been laudable, they have, in the course of their work, managed, through publication of a series of conflicting dictionaries and reference works, managed to make the matter so complicated — and in a number of cases plain ridiculous — that even those responsible for teaching German in the schools are not always sure of the right answer. In the case in point, the reform has led to the tendentious phasing out of das Eszett — muss instead of muß, for example. But the Eszett is still hanging in there bravely. And only Mäßig/mäßig is correct today. That some publishers still manage to get it wrong is typical of the situation today. Cheers!

Schott's Sohne, Mainz, of the Hindemith Trumpet Sonata, in the score it is spelled Mäßig but in the solo part it's spelled Mässig. I've seen the word most of the time engraved Mässig. So it might be wrong, but if German engravers do it you can't fault the rest of us for doing it too. ;-) ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
[Finale] LARGE TIME SIGNATURES
I've used to know how to create large time signatures (one for each section, rather than on each staff) in the score, but am now unable to do it. TIA for your help.

Re: [Finale] LARGE TIME SIGNATURES
Hi, Dr. Weinstangel Have you tried the document options time signature dialogue? I believe that is where you can create various configurations for the time signature. Dr. Hal Owen, http://pages.uoregon.edu/hjowen/, has several Final tutorials including enlarging time signatures.

Re: [Finale] LARGE TIME SIGNATURES
If you want one time signature for each section, the best way is to create a certain number of systems that only show time signatures. For these systems, you hide everything (staff lines, bar lines, etc.) apart from the time signatures. You set the systems which actually have music in them to not show time signatures. In Document Options Fonts set the font for Time (score) to something suitably large. With this technique, you have total flexibility in the vertical placement of the time signatures.

[Finale] Score system divider plugin crash
Hi all, Have any of you ever gotten a document into a state where invoking Finale's Score System Divider plugin crashes the application? It's happened to me a few times with certain documents and I haven't been able to figure out what the problem is, nor figure out a way to get the document back into a stage where the plugin is usable again. Has anyone else seen this? Any tips on solving it? Any alternatives to the Finale plugin? (I don't think Jari's original JW Score System Divider is still available, is it?)
