Re: [Finale] Hyperscribe Transcription, Quantization, Midi-files
Hi Ben-- Im very familiar with this problem, and so is MakeMusic--I spent a very long time years ago with a tech there, and then it was upgraded to a notation specialist to show them, and prove all these problems, which they finally admitted to, and have done nothing about..and probably wont. I was trying to import midi files of a complex nature, and have Finale notate them. They claimed that the problem seems to be in Include voice 2 not being sufficient and more voices are needed-- a feature request was submitted. Finale' s quantization would truncate durations,and give repeated notes, etc..It was really unusable. Eventually because of this and other problems, I was offered my money back, and eventually started using Sibelius. Thanks Bob Morabito PS submit this problem to tech support there--maybe someday they'll address it. On Mar 23, 2011, at 2:09 PM, Benjamin T Riddles, II wrote: I'm a dinosaur with Finale, original serial number 1001, having purchased finale 1.0 in the late '80's (for $1,000 no less.) Since then I've upgraded several times to Finale 2010, and have struggled to keep up with the changes. My question involves problems I continue to have with Hyperscribe transcription, and wonder if I've missed something through the decades. In a nutshell, here's the issue: I typically write compositions using Finale's speedy entry tool. I find that's the most precise way to enter music, certainly quicker than editing hyperscribe entries. When the piece is finished I save it as a standard midi file to MOTU's Digital Performer, because of its more sophisticated play-back and sound editing files. (My experience is that human playback doesn't have the requisite precision required for effective playback of what I intended.) Now that Finale has Garritan Instruments - which are much better and more manipulatable than my synth sounds -- I would like to save those DP files to Finale, and capture everything DP did, including tempo and volume adjustments, etc. So I save a DP file as a Standard Midi file and open it in Finale. Even though this file was originally created in Finale, it requires quantization. My files are relatively complex, typically requiring mixed quantization settings, with a resolution to the 32nd note and rarely 64ths. The Finale transcription and playback are always poor, with all the extra rests, rhythm anomalies and the like. Am I missing something? Is there an editing or quantization step I'm not using properly? I have tried the tutorials.

Re: [Finale] hidden notes
Hi Harold-- Im on Fin2008 have you tried the Notes and Rests (Show) Plug-in? Bob Morabito What it does Use the Selection Tool to select a region from which you wish to hide or show notes from all entries, then choose the Notes and Rests (Hide) or Notes and Rests (Show) command from the Menu. The plug-in allows you to hide all notes and rests in the current selection. You can also use it to make all hidden entries visible again. This plug-in is equivalent to pressing “O” in Speedy Entry to hide a note or a rest. Hidden entries are not printed and do not play back, but they can be used to influence the positioning of other musical items. A typical usage is to hide rests in contrapuntal keyboard music.

I know that Finale can allow for grey colored noteheads, but can it also do stems and beams? Is there a plugin available for Finale that lets you set such colorization within a voice? It looked really nice. Nice or not, was there any explanation of WHY they greyed out some parts? Seems rather strange. John -- John R. Howell, Assoc.

I'm thinking of going with a master keyboard controller plus software instrument -- most likely the Pro version of the Garritan Steinway, which sounds head and shoulders above everything else I've heard (based on the available online samples, at least). But I'm open to alternatives if anyone has suggestions. Where I'm most in need of advice is with regard to the keyboard controller -- I'm looking for a nice, authentically piano-like weighted action. Don't need any onboard sounds. Don't want to break the bank.

Re: [Finale] O.T. Secco recitatives
Im not so sure this is the case- in my experience the exposure young people have to advanced music in films is in drips and drabs, used very sparingly-- it seemingly being used mainly, and almost solely in the capacity of 'sound effects', to alert the audience that someone is psychologically imbalanced, or drugs are involved, or something bizarrely scary is about to happen...etc.. or maybe at times to denote frenzied excitement. It seems its the ONLY way they know atonal music. And judging by my own kids, and those that I know they STILL have the same difficulty the older folks have with this non tonal music, in the concert setting, or listening to entire recordings. They cant, or wont do it. This kind of music hasnt become a real part of the vocabulary of film scores..its more like phrases borrowed from a foreign language thrown in here and there. sparingly, for said sound effect. And its sad that its this way. Bob Morabtio On May 27, 2010, at 1:13 PM, David W. Fenton wrote: In addition to that, by the time The Fantasticks came out, there'd been decades of film music that consciously borrowed the most advanced musical techniques from avant garde composers. I am convinced that the fact that this music became part of the vocabulary of film scores is one of the reasons younger people have little difficulty with non-tonal music -- they've been hearing it their whole lives and have a framework of meaning in which to interpret it. ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

I now include the rest for the sake of completeness, lest I be PINNED down again for lacking it:): The melody has also been referenced in popular culture, often being used in soundtracks to horror films. A version of Dies Irae was used in WWE/WWF's WrestleMania XIV during the video package to promote the buildup to The Undertaker and Kane's historic first match against one another. The musical Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street by Stephen Sondheim contains several variations of the Dies Irae throughout its score, most notably in the recurrent Ballad of Sweeney Todd,[5] and as part of the underscoring in the climactic Epiphany. Lacrimosa by singer/songwriter Regina Spektor centers around the eighteenth stanza of the poem. The song is written from the point of view of Icarus, the son of Daedalus from Greek mythology, as he is falling to the earth. A version of Dies Irae named Requiem Nitachou K.626 is used for Wolfgang Krauser in the Fatal Fury series by SNK,now SNK Playmore. In Monty Python and the Holy Grail, the last stanza (Pie Jesu Domine, dona eis requiem) is chanted by monks hitting themselves with boards. A japanese Anime called Death Note features Dies Irae's first two stanzas as the lyrics of the theme of the Death Note with orchestral music in the background.

Hi Matthew-- According to Google--hope this helps:) Bob --: Penderecki: Symphony 8 - Dies Irae http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dies_Irae The words have often been set to music as part of the Requiem service, originally as a sombre plainchant.

I had always assumed that there was some correspondence between MIDI channels, and stereo audio channels (though I didn't have any particular basis for the assumption), and only found out recently that Finale playback output seems to be monaural, rather than stereo. Now, I've already figured out how to achieve a work around, to simulate a stereo recording, but I'm curious to know whether there is some MIDI (or VST) controller setting which could be assigned to an expression, which would direct MIDI channel 2 to the left stereo channel, with a similar expression with different parameters would assign MIDI channel 1 to the right stereo channel. ns ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

Count me in on this.. my most recent support ticket was a TOTAL disaster..the two techs they gave me were horrible, so I asked for a supervisor,who was even worse, and ended up rudely closing my ticket off without addressing everything, as he really was incompetent. .. He had insisted on a score, and when I gave him one, he couldnt dispute what I was saying, so he stopped the ticket.. Also threw the work back on me saying he didn't have a sequencer there to check things out, so could I do it..then tried to take bows for doing it... Once again I end up answering my own support ticket for what was answered, and the rest was closed off. Bob Morabito PS--and its funny..its a WHOLE different story with Sibelius..

Re: [Finale] Vile Midi Export from Finale
Hi Earl-- There's also a problem with using Finale Notepad, as I tried that also, under the same circumstances:) You cant quantize smaller than a 32nd, without getting an error message, and there's no place to enter EDU's. MM support conforms this problem, and also states: a version with a fix for this issue may not be available for some time. I have confirmed that this is not an issue in Finale 2009 I can confirm this defect and have notified our engineers. This is a problem with the Macintosh version of NotePad, and is also an issue in the latest version of Finale NotePad (version 2009). Also, I still am not able to tell,: 1)if you have the CORRECT notation on screen, and it then exports a Midi file with the truncated durations (any repeated notes?), or 2) if its IMPORTED wrongly and the truncated durations and repeated notes DO show up on your screen, and thus are in your exported midi file.. If its the latter, I can suggest a set of settings that have greatly reduced (and in some instances totally removed) the truncated durations/repeated notes problem for me, and have posted them here before. Please let me know.. I find it unconscionable that this has been allowed to continue thru the eons that Finale has been around Notation of Midi files sadly isn't high on ANYONES priority list., but this truncated durations/repeated notes problem is really a shame, and a deal breaker. Thanks Bob On Jan 22, 2009, at 6:53 PM, earlrs...@aol.com wrote: Hi Bob... and thanks for your encouraging reply. It's good I'm not alone in this. I've gone back and tried None, in addition to almost all the HP exports. I've even gone so far as trying it with Finale Notepad 2009. Apparently the guys as Finale (and I do hope you're listening up there) think that when an eighth note is notated, what we REALLY mean is a sixteenth with a a sixteenth rest and so on. In addition, there odd anticipations on quarter notes. I find it unconscionable that this has been allowed to continue thru the eons that Finale has been around. It should not be necessary to quantize durations upon export. A quarter is a quarter, an eighth an eighth, a sixteenth is a sixteenth. Sheesh Finale!

Re: [Finale] human playback for swing 16th's?
Hi Mark--I know you asked for easy, hope this helps--this is straight from the 2008 manual.. Hope this helps-- Bob Morabito === Swing Playback To create swing playback (for the entire piece) This method is for generating swing feel from an otherwise “straight” score. (If you’ve used HyperScribe to record a performance, you can “capture” the swing feel. Make sure Retain Note Durations is checked in More Quantization Settings and Play Recorded Note Durations is checked in Playback/Record Options (see Document Menu). When you playback, you’ll hear the music with your original feel, including swing, played back.) Note that you can also apply a Swing feel using the Jazz Human Playback Style which can be configured in the Playback Controls. Swing is not available with all Human Playback styles. 1. From the Window Menu, choose Playback Controls. Playback Controls appears. 2. Click the expand arrow. The Playback Settings dialog box appears Controls expands, offering additional controls. 3. From the Swing popup menu, choose Standard. 4. Click on Play. - To create swing playback (for sections of the piece) Use the Apply Human Playback plug-in to apply Human Playback’s swing interpretation to a region of your score. To define swing manually with the Selection Tool, do the following: 1. Choose the Selection Tool image\Selection_Tool.gif. 2. Select a region of measures. 3. From the Plug-ins Menu, choose Playback, then Apply Human Playback. The Apply Human Playback dialog box appears. 4. From the Apply a Defined Style, choose Jazz (or another style that incorporates swing). 5. Choose Apply Specific Elements and click the Select button. The More Settings dialog box appears. 6. From the Swing popup menu, select the desired swing percentage. 7. Click OK and then Apply. Swing playback has been applied to the selected region. Playback the score to review the results. To create swing playback (for sections of the piece) Expression Tool method Note: In order to apply swing playback with an expression, Human Playback must be set to None. 1. Click the Expression Tool image\Expression_Tool.gif. If you haven’t yet placed the marking in the score, double-click any note or measure. When the Expression Selection dialog box appears, click the desired marking, click Edit, and then skip to the instruction marked by the asterisk (*). 2. Click the measure or note to which the tempo marking was attached. Its handle appears. 3. Option-double-click the handle. The Text Expression Designer dialog box appears. 4. Click the Playback/Record Options. The playback options appear. 5. From the Type popup menu, choose Swing; then enter a number in the Set to Value box or select a choice from the Swing popup menu. The number you type into the box indicates a percentage of swing. The larger the percentage of swing, the more delay before the second note. 6. Click OK (or press return). Any time Finale encounters the expression you’ve just defined when it plays back your score, the playback will change to reflect the expression’s swing definition. - To create swing playback (for sections of the piece) MIDI Tool method Note: In order to apply swing playback with the MIDI Tool, Human Playback must be set to None. 1. Click the MIDI Tool image\MIDI_Tool.gif. Select the region where you want the playback to have a swing feel. You can select one measure by clicking, additional measures by shift-clicking, a screenful by drag-enclosing, an entire staff by clicking to the left of it, or the entire piece by choosing Select All from the Edit Menu. 2. From the MIDI Tool Menu, choose Note Durations. 3. From the MIDI Tool Menu, choose Alter Feel. Type 171 into the Backbeats By” text box. If you enter a number larger than 171, your swing effect approaches a dotted-eighth/sixteenth feel, which is useful in slower swing tempos; if you enter a number smaller than 171, the swing effect approaches an even-eighth-note feel, which might be better at faster tempos. 4. Click OK (or press return). When you play back the selected region, you’ll hear genuine swing—Finale is playing the second eighth note of every eighth-note pair slightly late, just as a jazz player would. Note: These instructions assume that the time signature is,2/4, 3/4 or 4/4 ; the “backbeats” that Finale delays are, therefore, every other eighth note. If the meter is 2/2 , however, the backbeats are every quarter note, so the swing playback you get may seem erratic if you were expecting traditional eighth-note swing. To solve the problem, change the time signature to a quarter-note–based one before using the MIDI Tool. Note: Do not use both MIDI Tool Swing and Swing from the Playback Controls, as these effects are additive. On Jan 21, 2009, at 3:18 PM, Mark McCarron wrote: I'm transcribing a piece

[Finale] TAN: Brian Ferneyhough--Lemma icon epigram
I happen to really enjoy and admire Brian Ferneyhough's work--and I happened to find this entire piece online,though I would also have loved to find some complete movements of his String Quartets. http://asamisimasa.com/sound.htm Direct Download link: http://asamisimasa.com/music/s005.wma Brian Ferneyhough--Lemma icon epigram, solo piano This piece is from 1981--this recording has a REALLY long pause in the beginning before starting( about 20 seconds!)--and on a Mac I had to control click and save link as to d/l it. This is the first page of the score- http://tinyurl.com/2ejbtk This is a discussion with the composer--he talks about this piece, and irrational measure lengths, etc: http://www.sospeso.com/contents/articles/ferneyhough_p1.html The so-called 'irrational' measure lengths, i.e. those based on beats expressed in terms of fractions of full beats in the prevailing tempo, thus giving rise to such time signatures as 3/10 or 5/24, are useful as local 'dissonances' serving to refocus attention and instantiate reassessment of the prevailing temporal perspective. A somewhat distant analogy would be the metric modulations typical of Elliott Carter's music, where a steady pulse in one tempo would continue across at exactly the same perceived rate in a new tempo, albeit notated differently, thus providing the performers with a constant unit of measurement when undertaking complex series of tempo modifications. I said earlier that these pulses are not normally present to the same degree in my own practice or, at most, are present only fleetingly through two adjacent measures. I find that such 'irrational' measures serve as a useful buffer between local changes of event density and actual changes of base tempo, which latter I interpret as being a more thorough-going radical intervention. Other composers have taken this particular technique much further than I in the meantime, with the result that the Law of Diminishing Returns has begun to apply.

Re: [Finale] Midi Key Velocities (Auto Dynamic Placement Plug in con't) A FOLLOW UP
After very much wasted time and effort, here is what was found: This plugin does not give you a dynamic, according to a supervisor at MM support, tho I've seen it in my scores. What it does do is to take your midi velocities--and based upon the settings in Expression Selections (I used the defaults), it arbitrarily increases or decreases their value, and then bases the dynamics for the score on THOSE new values, NOT your original key velocities. This makes NO sense to me. Two small documented examples: I have an on key velocity of 74-- presubably we should get a mp marking..(range 62-74).. yet this plug in FIRST CHANGES that velocity to 124, and then Finale places the dynamic..as !!! Another one -on key vel= 89, which sould be a forte (range 88-100)- HOWEVER, this time Fin REDUCES it to 74, which again, SHOULD be a mp, but FIn notates it as mf. I wanted it --expected it--to base the dynamics on the velocities in the original midi file, WITHOUT changing them--so in the above examples I would have gotten an mp for the on vel of 74, and a forte for the 89. Some of the changes are 3x larger in numeric value, with other values, even higher, all over the place, . As has happened before, I provided documents to prove what I was saying at which point, they cant argue it, and try to bully me into believing it works correctly, just doesn't do what I want it to do, and then basically dismiss me and the support request. And they'll speak to the developers on my behalf. I am following up with a letter too MM, as I want things to work as advertised, and Im tired of proving thinsg are screwy, only to be ignored...- it probably wont do ANY good, but at least I;ll know I tried.

Re: [Finale] O.T. The Internet and the Democratization of Music Publishing
Good points Ray-- I also have been deeply affected by the availability of music on line, and using the computer for composing.. Many years ago, I decided to try to compose..but had NO idea how to progress. My idea then--which I STILL follow-- was to, as TOTALLY as possible, keep myself from listening to ANY older music..so as NOT to sound dated, in my musical speech, gestures, etc... I would guess my cut off point was the 1920's. Sounds drastic, but it has really helped me.. I had many of the CRI, Nonesuch recordings-many which I picked up for 99 cents at record stores-(eg Boulez Structures-) Now with the Internet (and sites like http://www.dramonline.org/, which has many ( I believe to eventually be all of the old CRI catalog recordings) and other sites eg http://musicmavericks.publicradio.org/, and streaming performances, from overseas, etc ,I can stay abreast of what's going on, and totally immerse myself in a way unimaginable to me. It's as the commercial says.priceless. I have often felt that many works (the Copland and Carter Piano Sonatas immediately come to mind) where later in the work, it seems to just fall apart.-- and being a Monday morning quarterback.composer I wonder what they were thinking!! Both composers and their musical material were EXCELLENT, so my thoughts are that these and many works suffered from the composer NOT being able to sit back-- SOLELY as a critically listening member of the audience-- and hear his work played back, as many times as needed during the composing process. They would either be involved playing it, or reading from score, which would divert their attention away... But SOLELY as a listener to our works--which we can now do with computer playback, and a good mockup--its so much easer to hear, find and fix areas of pitch, and gesture fatigue, form problems etc., and the flow of the piece from beginning to end can really be judged, Just some thoughts.

And the new technology, at which we can share rare recordings by MP3 around the world in seconds - is fantastic.

Back when I had to copy stuff out by hand I got a fraction of the music written that I do now, and it wasn't played as much, and the music wasn't as good. (I love the ability to play it back.)

Re: [Finale] Midi Key Velocities (Auto Dynamic Placement Plug in con't)
Thanks for replying David-- the randomizing aspect of HP. It's not supposed to play each note exactly the same in a mechanical method, which would account for the discrepancies in the lengths of the notes The randomizing of the whole note value only happens with HP on, with an exported midi file..otherwise, with HP off its says at 1/000-so this would bear out what you've said. Thing is I really dont want any discrepancies..just what I put in, I want to get out. For the sake of completeness, I include the results with HP OFF, of Fins' exported midi files:..again, the Default On Vel is the original midi velocities, that match the Dynamic values in the Expressions dialog HP ON HP ON Note Default On VelResults using Simple entry Results using the HP OFFHP OFF (the expected result) and assigning default dynamics imported mid file, +plugin, again using default dynamics Simple EntryImported MIdi file - --- - --- -- C310 15 28 1 1 D323 24 37 1 1 E336 39 52 1 21 F3 49 50 63 19 47 G362 6780 58 73 A375 7689 97 99 B388 91 104 127 125 C4 101 102 115 127 127 D4 114 119 127 127 127 E4 127 127 127 127 127 Whatever values you have assigned in the Expressions dialog for each dynamic should be the velocities which are produced for each note. This is what I thought, also--Im probably missing something very simple. but cant for the life of me find out what.and all searches on the forums, wnb etc..turn out really nothing about this plugin. Im still following this up with MM support. Thanks again for replying David.

[Finale] Midi Key Velocities (Auto Dynamic Placement Plug in con't)
FinMac2008a Im still working with this Auto Dynamic Placement plugin... In a sequencer I step entered the following quarter notes, with the following On key velocities Note On Key VelocityDefault Dynamic Values in Expression Selection - -- C3 10 D3 23 ppp E3 36 pp F3 49 p G3 62 mp A3 75 mf B3 88 f C4 101 ff D4 114 fff E4 127 These On Key Velocities correspond exactly to the Default Dynamic Values found in the Expression Selection of the Expression Tool, and the Auto Dynamics Placement Plug in (its the same thing). I also used Note Expression and Text, as my choices. I then imported this midi file into Finale, and then simply saved it, and exported it out as a midi file--this was to see if Finale changed these values at this step.. it didnt, as they remained the same. However when trying to use this Auto Dynamic Placement plug in to automatically assign dynamics to these notes, I didnt get the same expected results, above- I got the following dynamics, and returned On Key Velocities (The plugin works in that it seems to have assigned the right dynamics to the velocities..but somehow these velocities have been changed from my initial Midi file) Note On Key VelocityDefault Dynamic Values in Expression Selection - -- C3 28ppp D3 37pp E3 52p F3 63mp G3 80mf A3 89f B3 104 ff C4115 fff D4127 E4127 It also messes with the values of a quarter note, which was 480, changing it from 443-461 The settings Im using with the plugin are: Min Vel Change between Dynamics: 8 The Default Dynamic values (above) Place by: Entry Uncheck Avoid Accents Placement Layer 4 Voice 2 Use Default positioning HP has to be on , or the results I get REALLY are bad. so I chose Standard with its default settings.
