Re: [Finale] typing in music symbols

I've used Steve Powell's Metronome fonts for years (from DVM Publications), including MetTimes and MetHelvetica, which mix music characters with those text fonts. JR On 4/8/13 6:26 PM, Noel Stoutenburg wrote: > Linda: > > The real timesaver for you in this situation is one of the fonts that >

[Finale] Expression tempo changes attached to notes

You can put in any expression you like (even a space bar as blank expression), and assign it a playback tempo value. If you do this in the misc. category, you aren't bound by measure-only restrictions of the tempo category. DF On Apr 8, 2013, at 1:00 PM, wrote: > This is a great idea. The

I am sorry if I have offended anyone by this. I am certainly grateful for all the help and suggestions, and I try to express it. If my frustration got the better of me, then I apologise abjectly. It certainly was not intended as any kind of slight. I do tend to get frustrated when I am doing

Re: [Finale] typing in music symbols

Linda, One app I use that's very handy for finding and inserting various characters system-wide is PopChar. It does cost $ but I find it indispensable. It lives in the menubar to the left of the Apple menu when installed. And, according to PopChar, ff fortissimo is opt-f and fff is shift-opt

Thanks to all for pointing me at some sources. I'm aware of the baseline problems and just deal with them as they come up, by a variety of editing tricks. But I'm having trouble finding a keystroke for fortissimo (ff). If I use the one in the chart I get "fff" so I don't quite know what to do ab

Consider exploding the staff onto as many separate staves as notes in the track, then re-order the staves and combine them as needed. Raymond Horton Bass Trombonist, Louisville Orchestra Minister of Music, Edwardsville (IN) UMC Composer, Arranger VISIT US AT rayhortonmusic.com On Mon, Apr 8, 201

Re: [Finale] typing in music symbols

Actually, the size of the elements in the EngraverText fonts is as I described. But although characters line up horizontally with other fonts, extra space is added below any line where an EngraverText fonts is used. - Don On Mon, Apr 8, 2013 at 1:52 PM, Dennis Bathory-Kitsz < bath...@maltedmedia

Re: [Finale] typing in music symbols

There is also a set of fonts called "Bach" with various sets of notes and beams, and another that I use for text called "MusiQwik". The latter isn't as pretty but has predefined staves and time signatures for pretty fast text entry. > From: Linda Worsley > To: finale@shsu.edu > Sent: Monday, Apri

Re: [Finale] typing in music symbols

Hi Linda, Not being sure exactly what you need to accomplish, you may have decent luck with the Engraver Text fonts (H, NCS and T). The baseline issue mentioned above isn't as much of a problem, at least, because those fonts are sized to match normal font texts (i.e., a quarter note in 12 point E

Re: [Finale] Tempo changes

That's an important difference that Don points out: the "Tempo Marks" category defaults to "Beginning of Measure," (or "Start of Time Signature," I forget which) while the "Tempo Alterations" category defaults to "Horizontal Click Positioning" Of course, either can be redefined as a category or in

Re: [Finale] Tempo changes

Some suggestions: 1) Just as the esteemed composer David Froom suggested earlier, don't use the Finale-defined rits, etc. Make your own tempo marks - they can show, they can be hidden, they can be a "rit." with a tempo attached. 2) To make your own tempo mark, select expressions ("mf"), select

Re: [Finale] Tempo changes

Hi Phil, I've used hidden tempo marks for years (with and w/out HP) and have been quite successful getting tempos how I like/envision them. For positioning, put those expressions in the "Tempo Alterations" category. The default positioning in that category is "Horizontal Click Positioning" which

Hi, Linda. Using finale fonts in word documents may often be problematic due to issues of baselines and spacing. You'd be better served to download the Bach font, which contains myriad symbols and is specifically designed for use in word and similar programs. Of course, it comes with a characte

[Finale] Splitting Chords by Note

Hello: My question is about moving specific notes of a chord, given on a single MIDI track, to another staff and handling regions. It is chord splitting. However, a split point won't work here, what I need to do is divide up the notes in a way that doesn't reflect "top to bottom" etc. I have lo

Re: [Finale] Tempo changes

I would tend to agree, except I need the final result output to CD so it can be played through the church's sound system. Finale is the only program I have which will do that - even if I do have to go through a .wav first! Phil. At 04:26 PM 4/7/2013, you wrote: >In my somewhat less than humbl
