Thank you John, but that just gives us a dialog box of symbols but no variable sizes. I had tried that before, looking for another accidental that was smaller inside the choice boxes. How can I vary the size? Now, they are much too large. Perhaps I have to change the font on all the chord symbols. Would that help?

Thanks JB. Checking all measures does it for the barlines. However, the staff name piano still appears to the left of SOME systems. When I select the handle on one it eliminates the staff name on THAT page (and that page only), but also eliminates the name from the score (which I don't want). Any solution there?

Here's a question I've been meaning to ask for years and never have. I'm working with MacFin2011. On piano parts, some grand staves have barlines reaching through the staves (treble and bass) the way I want them to, but other systems, later on in the part have barlines only on EACH staff. What is the remedy for that? In Staff Tool/Groups I have designated I want barlines THROUGH both staves. Also, so systems have have Piano out to the left.

How do we add a stave after having formatting all the existing parts. Example: I have an orchestra score, with parts generated and formatted. Then I discover I need to add a second keyboard part. So I add it to the score and fill it in. When I go to manage parts (or edit parts), it does not appear in the parts list. So I need to generate a part.

He wants two different PARTS to have different measure number settings. I think the easiest way to achieve this is to extract the one part with different number settings (the vocal part) and change them once extracted. You won't have the part linked any more, but that isn't as much of a pain in the neck as I expected it to be on the occasions I've done it. An alternative is to set up two different regions, then number one of them to start at measure 999 while you print the other parts, then switch it to start at measure 1 and the OTHER region at measure 999 while you print the vocal part. You will have to remember to make that change every time you print parts, though. That's why I think the extracted part is a better solution. I think I remember jef chippewa coming up with this scheme before we had separate layout for score and parts. Kim, I think another solution to your problem (which is probably that measure numbers collide with the lyrics, right?) is just to have the normal linked part, then in page view in the vocal part, select the measure tool, hit command-A to select all (which will select the measure numbers) then drag them to above the staff all at once. You might have to do this once for each page, but it is very easy to do and prevents measure number collisions. Just make sure they are close enough to the staff that the singer associates them with the proper measure, NOT the measure above!

This way I have to put them in again for EACH part. The same is true about Multirests.

He tried previewing it before he printed, also making a PDF. All he could see was two blank pages, although his regular file included everything he had imputed. Anybody know why this happened?

[Finale] SETTING Tools order
I've done this in other versions of Finale, but I can't seem to be successful at it with the newest one (MacFin2008). I like to have my Tool Sets in a certain configuration and order. I know how to move the tools around (Shift-Option) to accomplish this, but when I open Finale or the file again, the Tools are back to the default order. I have tried Saving Special (Edit menu) and I have my Program Options set to save preferences when quitting, but that doesn't do it. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Question about copying in the latest version (MacFin08).

Thank you all for your efforts at help. The issue was not Finale or Garriton at all. It was the backup program Deja Vu, which I updated with a new version recently.

[Finale] DISK space
I am having a disk space issue. It might not be a Finale issue, but I think it is. I recently updated from MacFin2007 to 2008. I installed the program along with the Garriton Sounds that came along with it. Before this I had 50 GB hard drive space available. After installation I had 24 GB available. I worked on a piece last night for about 2 hours. I leave my computer on at night. When I got up this morning my computer said the disk was full. I thought I had saved the new piece last night, but when I tried to quit it this morning, it wouldn't SAVE, saying there was not enough disk space. So I lost the 2 hours of work. Now my disk says it has only 3 GB of free space. Is this a Finale issue? I can't think of any other reason. Is this a Garriton issue. If the answer is YES to the last question, can I install the Garriton stuff on an external hard drive and have it work with the program on my native hard disk?

[Finale] Northwoods Jazz Camp (Kim Richmond/Clay Jenkins camp)
Dear Finale Listers, I have received some interest in this from some of you on this list in the past, and I have contacted those individually, but I thought I would send another message about this year's event to the List in general. Please excuse the duplicates. I am hoping you will join us for the Northwoods Jazz Camp this year. As you know, this is a 4-day camp for adults (21 and above) at the northern Wisconsin Holiday Acres Resort. I think you would get a lot out of it, and the hang with the professional musician staff is always fun for the students. The dates are the evening of Wednesday, May 14 through the night of Saturday, May 17. The new feature this year is that we will have a big band made up of students AND faculty which will play part of the concert on Saturday night. The faculty is Clay Jenkins (trumpet), Scott Whitfield (trombone), Tom Hynes (guitar), Lee Tomboulian (piano), Jeff Campbell (bass), Tim Davis (drums), Betty Tomboulian (vocals), and myself (saxophones). If you want to join us, I urge you to enroll now. I am attaching the camp flyer (PDF) (this probably won't transmit on a group e-mail list) and I suggest you check out the website.

I think the downside to this is that Finale actually recalculates each MM rest when you switch to the part, and you will lose any manual edits. For example, if you have adjusted the endpoint of an MM rest to avoid a clef change, you will lose that edit. It appears this 2007 version has a LOT of problems. Maybe, but this is actually working as designed. Take a look at 37-23 in the manual, which spells most of this out. I'm not saying this is the best approach, but it's not a bug either.

[Finale] EXPLODE function not working correctly
Again, maybe this has been covered, but if so, I didn't see it. FinMac2007c. Example: I have two parts I enter on the flute line. They are in 4ths. I explode them so that the top note will be on the flute staff, and the bottom note will be on the oboe (2nd) staff. The HIGHER notes of the figure, appear, on the top staff as the LOWER notes in unison with the oboe. More detail, same example. It is a three-note figure, 2 8ths and a half note. The top voice is D (middle of treble staff) up to high C, down to Bb. The low voice is A (under the D), up to G, down to F. When I explode, the low voice is right, but the top voice is D, G, F (the last 2 note unison with the low part). Any solutions? Using the Note Mover tool is one solution, but a lot more steps.

[Finale] MULTIMEASURE catastrophe
OK, here's another shortcoming for MacFin2007c, and this one almost completely sabotaged my rehearsal of my orchestra today. It's a good thing is wasn't a recording session. In going to tweak Linked Parts after placing all entries in the score, I discovered that some measures were left out with a group of number (like below an expanse of multimeasure rests) underneath one measure of music. I quickly learned that that meant there were measures filled with music not showing on the part. The solution was, on each part, with the Measure Tool selected, choose Create Multimeasure Rests. That reveals the hidden music. But it has to be done on every part. Doing it when viewing the score doesn't do it. Unfortunately, I hadn't done that with all 22 parts, and there was a lot of missing music in the parts today. It appears this 2007 version has a LOT of problems.

The dates are Wednesday evening, May 16, to Saturday night, May 19, 2007. Notice the slightly different times than before. We will start with a camp meeting (faculty/students), and a faculty concert on WEDNESDAY night (we've started everything in previous years on Thursday morning). The event will end with the Saturday night concert (not Sunday, as before). This takes place at Holiday Acres Resort, Rhinelander, Wisconsin. Please consider joining us. It will be a lot of fun to play together and learn more about improvising, tunes, etc. We again are having an all-star faculty. I cannot attach the flyer, to show you the details, because of the restrictions of the List. But please check out the website.

It changed the symbols extremely and made that function unusable. He called MM and got an admission that it was a bug. Does everybody else know this? This REALLY needs to be fixed.

[Finale] Re: Sibelius compared to Finale
Dear members of both Lists, I am a LONG time user of Finale. I'm coming to the quick (maybe too hasty, after learning/using Sibelius for only a few weeks?) conclusion, that while it's a wonderful program able to get quick quality results, it does not have the flexibility that Finale has. That is indicated by at least a couple of (what I consider) important details. 1) I'm finding that Sibelius cannot provide me with double bars at the beginning of a system (reflecting a double bar at the end of the previous system). 2) I'm finding that Sibelius cannot provide me with broken slurs over eighth-note tuplets, which I find quite desirable for easy reading. The brackets look clunky over 8ths, although I do want them over quarters and longer values. Those are two issues I found right away. Another issue is that I cannot find anything in Sibelius equivalent to Finale's Special Part Extraction, where, after extracting parts, a score can reflect changes made in those parts. I understand, however, that Sibelius v.4 is going to remedy that with score/parts linking.

[Finale] Re: OT Who are you? --Karen's reply
Ok, I have to chime here about Karen's reply. The very brief reference she made to herself as being a computer consultant has been MOST important to me. Folks, Karen is someone who regularly saves my life computer-wise. In my opinion, she is a qualified expert in almost all things Macintosh, especially Finale. I have employed her on a regular basis for a full year now, and she is a dream come true, for not only me but my wife as well. When I was in a hopeless tangle on my fronts, she literally saved me. I have referred her to Bob Florence and several others, and she has been great. AND, best of all, she has become a good friend. Only after all this did I find out what a good musician she is. Sorry if I'm making you blush, Karen, but I couldn't leave this alone.

To: finale@shsu.edu Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii ; format=flowed Born in 1964 in Germany to an American mother and a British/American father. Moved to the states shortly thereafter where I was raised in Denver Colorado. Studied classical flute as a child and had my first experience with writing jazz in junior high school when there were no flute parts for the jazz band so I had to write my own. Bless my band director for letting me hang around anyway! I was never a very good sight reader growing up due to my dyslexia. When the notes started going by too quickly, I would have to wing it because I just couldn't see them. This was always a great embarrassment to me but I guess it was a good thing in a way because it helped me to develop my ears. Despite my reading difficulties, my teacher still supported and encouraged me musically thank goodness. So bless my classical flute teacher for never berating me and instead sending me to jazz school where I felt like I was finally home musically. Graduated from Berklee College of Music with a degree in Jazz Composition. I was fortunate enough to get to study with Herb Pomeroy, Greg Hopkins, Bob Freedman, Ken Pullig, Wayne Naus, Dennis Grillo and Richard Lowell. I started copying charts for Bob Freedman to make extra money while in school and of course spent many hours copying my own charts, pen and ink, on a blue footlocker in a tiny apartment in Boston. Bless all of my friends that stopped by to keep me company and bring coffee. I met so many great people while at school! I then lived in Phoenix for several years where I was a professional jazz flautist in various duos, trios, quartets etc. and also an RB band. We did a mix of original music and standards and played at clubs, casual gigs and jazz and art festivals. I worked with and studied with a wonderful person and jazz guitar player named Bud Dimock during that time too. That was always great fun! The highlight of my time in Phoenix was getting to play with Ray Charles and his band during one of his concerts in Phoenix. I will never forget that! Bless my booking agent for hiring me for that one! I currently live in Los Angeles and make my living as a full time musician. Most of my income comes from being a proofreader, copyist, midi transcriptionist and music librarian for feature films and television. But I also compose, arrange, orchestrate and play from time to time as well. I do a bit of computer consulting for a hand full of musicians here in town too. Not only are these people wildly talented musicians, they are also wonderful, kind, warm and decent human beings. Bless them (and their wives who are equally wonderful) for adding so much to my life in the past couple of years. They have reminded me of how much sheer joy can be found in creating and playing music just for the sake of the music itself. A couple of them are listers here so I'll take this chance to say thank you! For recreation, I love to read, water and snow ski, and spend as much time as possible just hanging out and talking with friends. The older I get the more I realize that simple pleasures really are the best. Thanks Bob for starting this thread. And thanks to all of you who have posted. I have enjoyed reading your stories very much! -Karen ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
[Finale] Re: FONT not working in 2005a
At the risk of seeming too persistent, I'm going to re-post this question, since I didn't receive any answers or response. Can you guys help me out here? = Here's another update phenomenon. Maybe one of you font guys can solve this one. In my last few months of Finale files, I have exclusively used the font Chalkboard for all my text expressions and most of my headers. It worked fine in everything up to and including Finale 2005. Since updating to 2005a, Chalkboard no longer comes out looking like the font. It's still listed in the fonts, but appears on the screen and in printout like some generic default font. This was confirmed tonight by Karen also. Not only do I like the look of Chalkboard (I use it in all e-mails now also), but more importantly I do not want to go back into my hundreds of Finale files and change all the supposed occurrences of the font to something. Incidentally, Chalkboard works fine in all other applications. Any solution? All the best, KIM Richmond ___ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

OK thanks. Incidentally, using Special Part Extraction I also have my extracted parts all as separate files, saved that way as I go down the score tweaking each one (which after the first part, goes very fast). I end up with all separate files and at the end, I make the last part back into a score (with all the tweaks and corrections) and save it as such. Thanks, as always, for your help.

[Finale] DRAG COPYING next to a double bar
Here's another ongoing problem I've never been able to solve: For the last several versions of Finale I've frequently had this scenerio. I want to drag music from one staff onto the next. If the first bar of the selected music has a double bar on it's left, Finale will not let me copy it. It drags OK, but when I lay it on top of the other staff, the outline never becomes BOLD and it will not copy. I can do it successfully from a bar that does not have a double bar on its left (like the 2nd bar). My workaround is to copy the selected music to the clipboard, then paste on to the target staff, which of course takes a lot longer and is twice as many steps. Anyone else have this problem?

Thanks David, but I AM the sax player that is going to read this, and I would much rather see Gb myself than the key of F#.

[Finale] PASTING PROBLEM
Here's a problem that has cropped up on this latest version of Finale (MACFin05). I'm adding a guitar part to an existing score. Measure 60 has a guitar passage I want to copy and paste into measure 70. Measure 60 has a French horn part that has the expression with mute entered as a Measure-attached expression, assigned to only the French horn staff. When I paste the guitar passage from measure 60 to 70, suddenly with mute appears in measure 70 on EVERY staff. Any solution? And don't tell me I should never use Measure-attached expressions, only Note-attached expressions. I know that would have avoided the problem, but I've got hundreds of Measure-attached expressions in this piece. Or does someone know a simply way to change all the Measure-attached-assigned-only-to-a-single-staff expressions into Note-attached expressions? Probably not.

Well, it worked part way. The order of tools that I set in the Tool Bar was preserved, but it went back the Tool Bar went back to its default position of 3 columns on the upper left. Here's how I would like to have it: Contemporary palette, one horizontal column across top of screen. My workaround is to change the palette to Classic, drag the Tool Bar (after some finagling) to one horizontal column across top, then change it back to Contemporary. So thank you Darcy and Karen for the method in which to keep the specified order. Now if only the other could be accomplished.

[Finale] TOOL BAR
Dear Listers, This is driving me nuts, and I have been hassling with this all through 2004, and now the same thing is true of 2005 version of MacFin. I like to have the Tool Bar in a single strip across the top of the screen, using the Contemporary palette. I like the tools in a certain order, and change them to what I want by dragging them to their preferred positions while hold down Shift/Control. Nothing I do will retain the way I configure it when I restart Finale and reopen a file. Extenuating circumstances: I can get a single strip only if I switch to Classic palette. That will stay and appear the next time I open Finale. But the preferred position order will not. If, before I close the file, I change back to Contemporary palette, it will not stay there and the order will be back to a default setting. Also, I have always been important to Save the file and also, under Edit/Save Special, do Save Prefs. To no avail. Any solutions come to mind?

These are created when you enter a whole note and backspace to convert to a rest, in Speedy Entry, or simply entered as a rest by clicking in Simple entry. If there are any of these (they look just like the whole rests inserted into empty measures by the program) the staff won't be optimized out. If the staff is supposed to be truly empty, you can simply use mass mover to highlight the measures in question and then clear everything. But if there is anything attached to those specific measures you can't remove that staff from that system. -- No results. I did make very sure there were no entries.
