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.

Well, of course, one of the great strengths of Finale is the multitude of working habits it supports. I don't play piano well and don't own a MIDI keyboard, but the old Speedy idea of the three letter rows as three octaves made immediate sense to me and I've used it forever and with great speed. I've even dragged the [SpeedyKeys] section of my ini file through successive versions so that I could be untroubled by the remapping of the Speedy keys that MM imposed a few years back.

When I'm inputting from another composer's transposed score, I tend to skirt the issue by turning off the volume on both the computer and the MIDI keyboard.

Re: [Finale] {Spam} Slurs and articulations
This is something slowing me down on an orchestra score I'm working on. (I'm in Win 2011a) It looks like when I go the Articulation Designer window for an articulation, there is an option in the lower left corner inside slurs. This works fine to have it checked for for staccato dots tenuto accents (inside the slur per Ross). However, for the () accents Ross says sometimes inside the slur, and sometimes outside. But what seems to me happens with those accents is, if I check inside slurs, it affects all of them in the piece, so I end up having to adjust all the slurs where I want the accent outside (or vice versa).

[Finale] Half 1st page
Hello - I hope someone has an idea to help. I recently merged 3 movements which were in separate documents into a single document. This was in FinWin 2011 (before I got 2011a). When I went to page view (after a few hours of making other updates) I found that the 1st page only has 2 measures on the left 1/2 of it (score only). I can't get it to go on the right side of the page. (There is one system per page - full orchestra.) I have found nothing to help me messing with page margins and system margins. Increasing the number of measures in that system just jams them into that 1/2 of the page. The rest of the document is fine, and the parts are fine. The merge also did some other odd things, most notably changing most staves in the 2nd 3rd movements to bass clef, but I was able fix that easily (but not as quickly as I would have liked). Does anyone have any ideas where else I could look for an adjustment that might get the 1st page to look normal?
