[Finale] Buying a Garritan library for the first time

2012-12-19 Thread Klaus Smedegaard Bjerre
I am not necessarily shy of doing investments, but I want them being functional. I am on Finale Mac 2012 (newest upgrade) and the Garritan sounds coming with the application are accessible via the score manager. I like the string, clarinet, and horn sounds better than some of the low brass

[Finale] Chord notation bug (?)

2012-12-19 Thread William Sinclair
Something else I noticed - I had a lead sheet with chords attached to the melody line. I tried to transpose it without changing the melody, from C major to F major, so I used other and specified hold pitches modally in the key signature menu. To my utter amazement, it transposed the chords ! !

[Finale] Is there an option for NO KEY SIGNATURE?

2012-12-19 Thread William Sinclair
When I asked about this some time ago, someone remarked well it is the key of C. revealing their lack of knowledge. In a complex orchestral piece, the composer sometimes does not want a key signature, since there would be a plethora of accidentals no matter what key you are in. One example is

[Finale] Finale notation bug

2012-12-19 Thread William Sinclair
Hmm - I seem to have started a row. Well, I wanted to keep the same tempo per quarter note, normally 4/4 measures, but this particular phrase had an extra two beats in it. I thought it would be easier to make a measure 6 beats, instead of splitting it up into a 4/4 and a 2/4 measure. In other

I upgraded to Winfin 2012 and since upgrading have found the Garritan(?) sounds to be much inferior to those I had in Finale 2006, in fact, now they sound very much like a computer, though not as bad as midi. With the 2006 sounds people often asked, is this live or a computer. The question would

Hi William, This is what I suspected, and is exactly the kind of situation where using 6/4 as a duple meter (instead of 3/2) makes perfect sense. Cheers, - DJA - WEB: http://www.secretsocietymusic.org On Dec 19, 2012, at 12:47 PM, William Sinclair billsi...@aol.com wrote: Hmm - I seem
