Re: [Finale] Default file with Wizard

[Lawrence Yates]

Yes, thanks, done all that - I've changed every default file I can find but
the wizard still seems to take it from somewhere else - not a clue where.

Cheers.

Re: [Finale] Default file with Wizard

[Lawrence Yates]

Hi,

thanks, I've changed that but the Wizard seems to use a different file as
the default.

[Finale] Default file with Wizard

[Lawrence Yates]

Hi, can somebody please tell me how to change the default to A4 rather than
Letter on new files created with the wizard.  I've tried everything I can
think of and am getting nowhere.

I know how to do it when creating new files without the wizard, it's just
the wizard version that I need to change to A4 default.

Thanks,

Lawrence

Thanks John - tried that.  I even found the email from when I last had this
problem - the solution then was what I've just tried and it doesn't seem to
work any more.  I've given up.

Re: [Finale] (no subject)

[Lawrence Yates]

Sorry, I neglected to say that I want to change the file that opens with
the setup wizard.  I've changed the default file and that works with the
"new" from default but not with the wizard.

I've had this problem before when I last had to re-install Finale but I
can't remember how I did it, nor can I find the old emails telling me how
to do it.

Thank you - that's it!

It's solved my immediate problem but I've had to go through each individual
part (the music was needed for this afternoon) but is there a way to do
this universally?  I'm sorry, I have gone on about this before but can't
find my records.

Thanks again.

Re: [Finale] Changing default page layout

[Lawrence Yates]

Thanks for your help regarding default files.

It seems that there are two default files - one is in "defaults" - this one
changes the "new file" default.

The other is under "document styles" and this is the one I missed - it
changes the defaults when new files are created using the setup wizard.

Thanks again to all who responded.

Re: [Finale] Text enclosed in a box.

[Lawrence Yates]

Thanks Christopher,  I'm sure I used to do it in a much easier way than
that.  It's to enclose a set of details at the top of the first page
including several text inserts (date, modification, duration etc.)  I'm
sure that in the past I simply used to draw a rectangle around everything,
although maybe I dreamt that.

Thanks.

Hi,

Sorry to trouble you with so lame a question but in Finale 25 how do I
enclose text in a box please?  I have done this many times in the past in
previous versions but now have a complete mental block.  I can't find any
reference in the manual because I don't know what terminology it uses for
this.

Thank you, it's sorted now I think - it was, as several have suggested, the

[Finale] Finale 25 Octaves

[Lawrence Yates]

Hi,

I've just bought Finale 25 Windows.

I've had a couple of passages somehow being transposed up an octave without
any input from me.  Fortunately I've spotted them so far but this could be
disastrous should I miss them.

Is this a known fault or am I doing something stupid?  (Never had this
problem in any other version of Finale).  The current problem was in a
bassoon part which I entered correctly.  When I changed to look at the
score in scroll view it was transposed up the octave.

Cheers,

Lawrence

Re: [Finale] REPEAT SIGN INSIDE A BAR

Of course, from at least Finale 2012 there's a plugin under Plugins -
Measures - mid measure repeats which achieves this.

Divide the bar (measure) into two and in the time signature box select "use

Re: [Finale] finale 25

[Lawrence Yates]

I've now completely reinstalled Finale and everything seems to be working
now BUT - on playback some of the instruments (descant recorder for
example) seem unaffected by the volume controls in the mixer.  This makes a
bit of a mess of any playback files using these instruments.  Has anyone
else found this and found a solution please?

Lawrence.

[Finale] Hyperscribe

[Lawrence Yates]

Hi,
I've just bought a lead to attach my piano keyboard to my computer and am
attempting to use hyperscribe.

Are there optimum settings to make this work efficiently?  The quantisation
settings seem to result in either missing notes if set to larger levels or
unusable results if set to smaller. (I'm sure I don't play so badly out of
time!)

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Lawrence

Re: [Finale] Hide ties

[Lawrence Yates]

I imply no criticism, but just out of interest, why would you want to hide
a tie?

Cheers,

  What's the easiest way to hide a tie? (Other than duplicating the
 notation without ties in another layer and hiding the playback layer, which
 is what I normally have to resort to.)

Re: [Finale] Whatever happened to Optimise?

[Lawrence Yates]

It's called hide empty staves - not able to check exactly where it is at
the moment.

Cheers,

Lawrence

 Hello Listers,

 I've found out how to hide a single empty staff, but not found an
 equivalent of the 2000 optimise which would hide all the empty staves in
 however many systems of a score I chose, with one command. Have I missed a
 renamed equivalent in 2014? I tried the Index on optimise and hide.

 I've just been looking at a lot of complicated stuff about Group
 Attributes, but I haven't been using groups and don't feel the need  for
 most of the scores I'm creating. Quite often I'm transcribing music
 originally written for voices, or perhaps for piano, and simply have
 numbered parts which get allocated to whichever instrument(s) / player(s)
 from my current bizarre line-up happen to fit best  (adult learners, no
 minimum standard and few limits on numbers of a particular instrument).

 The present 38 players are:
 6 flutes (1 double pic and also, another bass flute), 3 oboes (1 doubling
 cor A.), 7 clarinets (1 doubling A  T saxes, another Bass Cl.), 3 more A
 Saxes (1 doubling T), 1 bassoon, 1 French horn, 1 tenor trombone, 8
 violins, 4 violas, 4 cellos. The most elementary is probably in her 50s,
 started learning violin last September as her first ever instrument, with
 no previous musical experience.

 Greetings from England,

 Patsy

Re: [Finale] Finale/Sibelius

[Lawrence Yates]

No, it doesn't affect your Finale at all.  I did the cross grade to try out
Sibelius, didn't like it and have continued to use Finale, using Sibelius
only when I have to, for example, when students give me work in Sib.

On 27 May 2015 at 16:38, Neal Gittleman nealg...@mac.com wrote:

 A query for any of you who have done the Finale-to-Sibelius cross-grade.
 On the Sibelius site they characterize it as “switch to Sibelius…” but I
 assume that doing this cross-grade doesn’t at all affect your ability to
 continue to use Finale in addition to Sibelius, right

 A stupid question, I’m sure, but some stupid questions are worth asking,
 like “There IS water in this pool, isn’t there?”

[Finale] Titles

Hi Folks,

I'm writing a multi movt piece in one file.  Is there an easy way to put

I'm clearly doing something wrong as they appear sometimes in the middle of
the page, sometimes on the left or right or sometimes not at all.

 If your keyboard has a pitch bend wheel, move it all the way up or down

[Finale] emailing pdf

[Lawrence Yates]

Hi folks,

I'm using WinFin2012c

I have created a file and exported the parts to pdf.  All of these have
emailed to my client except the Violin 1 part which has failed four times
now.  I have tried renaming it, re-exporting it from Finale, re-saving the
original file under a different name and re-exporting.  It isn't the
biggest file.

So far nothing is working.

Any ideas please?

[Finale] Changing transposition mid piece

[Lawrence Yates]

Hi,

In WinFin 2012 how do I change the horn's transposition mid-piece, for
example 8 bars horn in F, 4 bars horn in D etc.

I used to do this in earlier versions of finale but I can't remember how I
did it (I thought it was with staff styles but this seems not to be the way
any more).

I can't find any reference to mid-piece changes in the manual

Thanks.

Lawrence

No, I've got 2012c and it doesn't seem to be there.

 The latest version in Finale 2012c, and that's the version you need. I just
 tried my FinWin2012 and was surprised A) that is still only Fin2012a and B)
 that it does not prompt me for an update. But if I go to the website I can
 download WinFin2012c.

 The Transpose feature in staff styles is essential not only for horns and
 trumpets that change keys a lot, but also for hiding clef changes in cues.

[Finale] Folders

[Lawrence Yates]

Please, please can someone help me -

How can I set finale so that it goes back to the last folder opened rather
than the last folder I saved to?

It's driving me mad!  On my old computer it worked exactly how I wanted it,
on this new one it defaults back to the last folder I saved to.

It may not be a Finale problem, it may be something to do with Windows 8,
but whatever, can anyone help me?

Please,

[Finale] Folders

[Lawrence Yates]

I'm using Finale 2012 on Windows 8

I'm not sure if this is a Windows problem or Finale:

Let's say my file structure is Finale Pieces Horn Quartet Christmas
(I've actually shortened this list here).

If I open a file from the Christmas folder then try to open another file,
the open list goes back to Finale so every time I want to open another
file from the Christmas folder I have to go through the rigmarole of
going through the whole sequence.

It was not like this on my previous computer (Windows XP) - there the
open list went to the last folder I'd opened, which is what I want it to
do.

Is there anything I can do to get the old behaviour back?

Thanks,

Lawrence

Re: [Finale] Finale to Sibelius and back again

I've done that but only on very short and very simple files where
formatting wasn't really important.  Because of my relative unfamiliarity
with Sibelius I found it the only way I could work.

 Hello:

 A client is requesting I do his scores in Sibelius so he can make edits and

 in forth in .xml, but much of the detailed formatting gets lost (I've seen
 that before, .xml has saved me dozens of hours with notes and time
 signatures, etc) and wants .sib files. My question is: have others simply
 purchased Sibelius, done the bulk of the work in Finale because that is
 their native program and then exported over to Sibelius via .xml and just
 cleaned it up and engraved the missing/mistaken details in Sibelius? Is
 that a crackpot idea? As far as I know, .xml is the only option between the
 two. Ideas?

Re: [Finale] OT: Baroque Articulation

[Lawrence Yates]

There was a recent conversation in one of the mailing lists of which I am a
member (possibly this one) where it was stated that these daggers have
nothing to do with the length of the note but that they indicate that the
notes should be given equal weight (as opposed to a strong first beat) and
that this indication continued beyond the baroque into the early romantic
period.

Can anyone offer anything to support or refute this?

Cheers,

Lawrence

[Finale] Notes scrunching together

[Lawrence Yates]

Hi,

I'm currently transcribing a piece which includes lots of
semiquavers/demi-semiquavers (don't know what that is in American).

Using speedy entry, as I type in the notes they all scrunch together so
that I can't read what I'm writing.

Is there any way I can stop this happening as I type as opposed to hitting
update layout at the end of every bar (which doesn't solve the problem of
individual bars being illegible as I type anyway).

Cheers,

Lawrence

Hi Peter,

Thanks - everything's happening like you said - works beautifully until I
switch to another stave, then it corrects itself so that I have the same
problem again.  Is there a way to fix the width change until a expressly
ask it to correct?  I'm sure there must be and I'm missing it.

 Hi Lawrence, have you tried increasing the width of the bar (in Measure
 Attributes with the measure tool) before you enter any notes?  A width of
 1200 EVPUs should make your job easier.  The width will be corrected when
 you space the music.  Use scroll view, as measure widths are scrunched to
 fit in page view.

Re: [Finale] Opening new document - can I change page size

 Hi,
 
  When I use the document setup wizard to create a new file the page size
  default is letter.
 
  Is there any way I can change this to A4?

 If you have other page sizes you use regularly you can create other

 document settings.

[Finale] Opening new document - can I change page size

[Lawrence Yates]

Hi,

When I use the document setup wizard to create a new file the page size
default is letter.

Is there any way I can change this to A4?

At the moment I have to manually change the page size every time and with
my great age and weakening intellect I very often forget.  To have the
default as A4 would make life easier.

I tried changing the Maestro Default.FTM file but that didn't work.  Some
time ago I tried altering another file somewhere and put A4 to the top of
the list but the programme still defaulted to letter.

I can't find anything in the manual that refers to this (unless they've
called it something I haven't thought of.

Cheers,

Lawrence

[Finale] OT Files missing from list

[Lawrence Yates]

In case anyone else has the same problem:

The missing files problem is now sorted and, as I feared, was a Windows
problem not Finale and was something to do with permissions.

I tried to copy a non-Finale file to the folder I use for Finale files and
received an error message to say that I did not have permission to post to
that folder.

I went into the folder properties and found that it was read only and
despite changing this several times, each time it reverted to read only
when I re-opened  it.  I then went into the security tab and changed
settings there.

The missing files did not reappear immediately but do appear when I open
them from within Finale and then save them.

Thanks to everyone who tried to help me with this.

Cheers,

Lawrence

At least it's sorted now.

[Finale] Files missing from list

[Lawrence Yates]

Hi Folks,

I always save Finale files to the same folder.  When I want to open a file
from within Finale all my files are listed.

However, when I use Window Explorer to open the folder not all the files
are there.  In particular, no files from the last month or so are there,
although there are others missing from the list too.  I can open all these
files from within Finale with no problem.

It's as though there is some kind of filter on my WE file list but to the
best of my knowledge I have never setup such a filter nor can I find any.

Has anybody any ideas please?

Re: [Finale] Files missing from list

[Lawrence Yates]

Thanks David,

Been there, done that etc.  I've also tried creating a new folder and
adding files to that - all of them are visible in Finale and can be opened,
none of them are visible in WE.

I've tried changing the options in WE and that makes no difference.

I'm really at a loss to find an explanation.

Although I can open the files from within Finale, the problem came to light
when I needed to move some recent files to a USB stick in order to work on
them on my laptop.  I finished up having to open Finale, open the files,
Save As etc etc which took about twenty times as long as simply dragging
them in WE.

I'd be grateful for anything to try!

Cheers,

Lawrence




 Are you keeping Windows Explorer open all the time or re-starting it
 occasionally?

 If you are keeping Windows Explorer open all the time, it doesn't
 refresh what files it is showing automatically -- you need to hit F5 to
 get it to reread the files and folders it's displaying.

 If you have exited Windows Explorer and then restarted Windows Explorer
 and you still can't see the files, I've got no explanation.

Hi Noel,

Thanks - just tried your suggestion - the file is not marked hidden.  I
also earlier tried checking the show hidden files box in WE but that
didn't work either.  I suspect that it's a Windows problem rather than
Finale.

I'd hoped that someone on here might have had the same problem and that it
would be something really obvious that I was missing.

Ah well,

Thanks anyway,

Lawrence

 If you've not examined the file properties in the properties dialog,

 click on the filename in the save-as window, and open the properties
 dialog at the bottom of the pop-up menu.

 My best guess, based upon what I remember from a similar issue some
 years, and a couple OS versions ago, is that you may have somehow gotten
 the hidden file attribute set on those files. The way I managed this
 was that I somehow got the hidden attribute set on the file I used as
 a template, and the attribute stayed set when I saved daughter files.

Hi Gerald,

Thanks for the suggestion.  The point is that I should be able to see all
the files when I use WE.  There are ways round it and I can move the files
by opening up Finale but I shouldn't have to: there's clearly something
going wrong.  At first I thought the problem was in Finale, maybe in the

Windows.

Re: [Finale] ***POSSIBLE SPAM***(6.1) OT: medieval notation

Hear hear, Steve.

Yes it's easy to google and easy to find thousands of links but there's a
good chance that a fair proportion of them will be useless for whatever
reason.  Asking on a mailing list such as this may help to narrow it down a
little and comments by those who have actually used some of these sites are
more valuable than the tiny extracts offered in a google result.

How I wish there had been a group like this when I was studying early
notation in the days before the internet - it might have saved me the many
hours I spent in libraries ploughing through obscure articles which often
led nowhere.

Incidentally, on one of those library visits I was accosted by a chap who
invited me to look for articles via some kind of computer link he had set
up.  He was a salesman selling subscriptions - results would be posted to
you.  I didn't realise it at the time but this must have been a very early
version of the internet.

Re: [Finale] Horn question

[Lawrence Yates]

There is a movement towards the use key signatures especially if the music
is more modern.  Modern shows and modern music tend to use them so I would
suggest that you do that.  Wind bands have been using key signatures for
years.  In extreme keys especially a key signature will make for much
cleaner parts.  As to which I prefer personally, I suppose it depends on
the music.  Like most horn players, I'm happy with either.

If, as it seems,  this is being done for a specific player it may be worth
asking him what he prefers.

Going slightly off at a tangent from your question, if you are producing a
full set of parts for publication or general use, personally I would like
to see in the set the original un-transposed parts and also a set of horn
in F parts for those who prefer it.  If there is any chance that the music
may be played on natural horns then obviously they will prefer original
parts.

Cheers

 measure with 2 bad notes.
 13 No slur or tie
 14 missing slur and tie
 16 missing staccato and tie
 17 missing articulations

 Every single measure would require some editing, which obviously is not
 a good trade-off of time.  In the past, I did have somewhat better
 success with less jazzy music fonts.  However, the things the scanners
 are missing are not the notes so much.  They are slurs, ties,
 expressions, and they aren't that much different in the jazz font.

 I'd rather not buy a new scanner, as I have two multi-function units
 nearby already, and one of them does up to 11x17.  The cheapest Epson
 11x17 scanner is over $1500, and I bet it wouldn't do any better than my
 Brother MFC.

  After watching Tom Johnson of Finale scan in clinics with relative ease
 I have gone back to scanning. He tells us that certain scanners are better
 than others for scanning and that a dpi of 500 or better will achieve
 optimal results. 300 dpi is pretty awful in scanning music even though we
 were all told that long ago it was acceptable. I watched Tom scan in a
 random band score at the Midwest clinic in Dec. and it produced every note
 that was on the page correctly as seen using the free version of smartscore
 lite. Yes there were no text on the scanned page but he also added that
 instead of taking the scanned page and turning it into your finished doc
 you should copy the info from it and paste into a new doc set up how you
 want the final score to look like.

  Does Finale 2012 work ok on Windows 8?
 
  I'm about to buy a new computer and would like reassurance.
