Re: [Finale] Writing on tablet using XML to move it to Finale
Thank you all for the responses. I am looking to use the app as a scratch-pad and then do more work to be completed in Finale 2014. At this point I am trying to decide whether to get an iPad or one of the other tablets, and I want to make sure I can do music sketches etc. on it and later move them to Finale. It sounds like I can. Since I am on a PC that I want to synchronize with the tablet, one of my concerns is about being able to move files back and forth easily. I understand that with the iPad I can't actually view what is on it (like you would with Finder on your Mac), and can only move files in out by iCloud (not available to me) or using what you can in iTunes or DropBox or what is in an app itself. This bugs me a bit. Whereas with a Kindle Fire or a Samsung tablet I think I would be able to view the files on my PC, when attached by USB, and move them in out. I realize this is not a Finale question, but if anyone cares to comment, it would be appreciated.

[Finale] Beating my head against the wall on repeats
I have a problem I just can't figure out. I am using F2014, but it might be the same in earlier releases. My problem is my score has Sign ... To Coda ... D.S. al coda ... Coda. As far as I can tell, all 4 of those marks have exactly the same settings (Show on top staff only). The only difference I can see is that the Sign and the Coda symbols are just markers whereas the other two are jumps. The playback works perfectly. My problem is that when I lay out parts, I need to move those items around a little in the individual parts. I can move three of them freely on every single part. But I cannot move the To Coda at all on most of the parts. I can select it and the item changes color, but I just can't move it -- and I really must move it because it is landing right on top of a MM rest in most parts. The pattern is that I can move To Coda ONLY on the parts that are the first in a staff group. If a part is not in a staff group or is the top staff in a group, then I can move To Coda. But I can move the other three in all parts. I have tried unlinking the symbols. No difference. I have tried Allow individual edits per staff which really seemed like it should work. No good. I can't think of anything else to try. Anybody have ideas? Has anybody else experienced this problem? ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
Re: [Finale] Writing on tablet using XML to move it to Finale
It's ios way to work. Everything has to be syncronized by iTunes. You can bypass this limit mailing or dropboxing your files. Some apps have wifi sync possibility with browser, but actually my notation app on iPad (symphony pro) does not. -- Gippo Mercoli www.clubgippo.com Il giorno 30/gen/2014, alle ore 19:21, James Cooper j...@modez.com ha scritto: Thank you all for the responses.
