[Finale] WinFin 2014.5: playback restriction

2017-01-16 Thread Houghton, Mark [wmh]
Dear all,
Apologies for what will seem a simple question to most of you. I'm playing back 
a score which, after 30 measures, ceases to playback. I want to review the 
whole score by listening in its entirety (for proof reading). Can somebody 
suggest were the 30 measure restriction lies, so that I can alter to encompass 
the whole score.

Many thanks in advance.

Mark

I don’t know if this is the same on Windows, but I go to the Text menu and 
choose “Insert symbol”. The dialogue box opens and I look for the symbol I 
want, then select it and hit Okay.

[Finale] Fin 2014 Win: Enabling expressions/ ornamentation

2015-11-01 Thread Houghton, Mark [wmh]
Dear all,
When starting playback at any point in a score, other than from measure 1,  my 
Fin 2014 default setup will not playback ornaments or interpret dynamics and 
expressions (just to reiterate that from measure 1 it's not a problem). Can 
somebody please enlighten me as to how I can enable these for playback?

[Finale] Win 10 and Fin 2014

2015-10-08 Thread Houghton, Mark [wmh]
Slightly off topic but windows 10 updates are proving a headache for many 
Surface Pro users (myself included using S Pro 3). A recent Win update about a 
week ago removed the usability of my wifi adaptor (can't see any networks) and 
Bluetooth also disappeared from the software front end). Many attempts at 
rectifying (roll backs and driver fixes etc all refused)  have come to nothing 
and the latest problem occurred when I tried to deauthorise Finale in readiment 
to return to Win 8 (lots of users have been doing this due to the network 
adaptor failures). On the deauthorisation issue, It wouldn't allow me to 
deauthorise within the program, saying right click on the icon, which I did but 
still no joy, then on attempting to open Fin it said it couldn't do that either 
and cited a missing DLL. So it's a phone call to the US to deauthorise by the 
looks of it. Just thought I'd report this. BTW Fin had been working largely 
without any trouble, though on a few occasions just crashed without warning (in 
Win 10) and occasionally lost communication with audio output (which could be 
reset by opening and closing Fin).

Best regards, Mark Houghton

I've had this also while attempting to run Bluetooth headphones alongside an 
external amp/ speaker system (the latter utilising the jack input on my SP3). 
Removing the jackplug/ amp setup allows an audio restore in Finale.

Have you rebooted the computer again after the power outage/restore?  
I've found that sometimes a second restart is necessary after that sort of 
thing.

Good luck,

 Finale's audio engine failed to load.  Please restart Finale.

 And, sure enough, no playback on either VST or midi.   Restarting
 Finale gets same result.

 Any help appreciated!

Re: [Finale] OT: Low end Surface Pro 3 with StaffPad

2015-07-06 Thread Houghton, Mark [wmh]
Hi Robert,
As with anything computer-dependant, go for as much as you can afford while 
factoring in to that future developments of the app, which may require waiting 
for prices to shift in your direction as the app is liable to be more demanding 
in upgrades. I went for i7/8GB ram/ 512GB storage (for other working concerns 
also). This certainly has a refined smoothness with Staffpad, operationally.

Cheers, Mark

For those of you out there using StaffPad, is the low-end Surface Pro 3 (i3 
64GB model) powerful enough to run StaffPad. My main interest in it is as a 
music reader and for StaffPad.

Re: [Finale] Writing on tablet using XML to move it to Finale

2014-01-29 Thread Houghton, Mark [wmh]
Hi James,

I use 'Notate Anytime' on my Samsung Note 3. I import a blank manuscript page 
(created elsewhere and stored on my phone's micro SD as a pdf). Within the app 
you can then zoom to any level and write by hand using the Note 3 stylus (on a 
variety of pen colours/ thicknesses/ erase and even import/ resize other 
elements etc) onto the blank manuscript. The Note 3 has a big enough screen to 
comfortably work in any location/ scenario ironically, a nice return to the 
old days of paper and pen! I've not yet attempted to scan the result to see how 
feasible it is in importing to Fin 2014, but thought I'd share this idea anyway.

Best regards, Mark

Has anyone on this list written music on a tablet (iPad, Kindle, etc.) using 
something like NotateMe or Notion, then exported to an XML file 
gotten it to then work in Finale?   If so, can you tell me what app  which
tablet you used, and how well it worked?

[Finale] Tuplet problem: Fin/win 2014 (bug?)

2014-01-04 Thread Houghton, Mark [wmh]
Dear all,

I'm making an arrangement for violin, cello, guitar:-
6/8 time signature with a pickup of one 8th note and attempting to insert a 
32nd note pentuplet. After I've inserted the pentuplet successfully, I've then 
attempted to progress to the first full measure, I've clicked to insert a note 
in that measure and the pentuplet promptly disappears! I can successfully undo 
to recover the pentuplet but the same thing happens on repeated attempts. Any 
ideas? I should say also that on first creating the pentuplet, the file crashed 
and self recovered in the 'recommended' fashion, so maybe I will attempt a full 
close down and re-initiate the software.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Best regards, Mark Houghton

Having performed a hard boot of the computer and fired up Fin and file again, 
it's now working correctly. Earlier, I also was working with the online help 
open but not sure if that was the issue. Strange, but glad I've logged this

 Yes you can do this.

 In the view menu choose select display colors. Change everything to black 
 except repeats - make that red.

 When you print, check the  Display Colors box

Any suggestions?
