Re: [Finale] (Not) reducing text expressions

2016-09-21 Thread John Roberts 
As a former QuicKeys user, I'll add my recommendation of Keyboard 
Maestro as an excellent replacement.

Good point - thanks. I even bought Keyboard Maestro a while back and haven’t 
managed to spend the time to get into it and program some of the macros I used 
to use all the time in QuicKeys. This is a perfect situation for a macro 
program.

This is another one of those really tedious workflows in Finale.  I get around 
this by using a macro program called Keyboard Maestro.  It basically solves the 
issue and only takes moment to program.  I’ve even taken this approach when 
doing a specific editing routine for a client, even if it meant just for that 
session.  It saves a bundle of time if you’re repeating this over and over and 
I just delete the macro when I’m done.

Something to mull over, perhaps?

[Finale] (Not) reducing text expressions

2016-09-21 Thread Doug Walter 
I’ve always meant to ask this and it came up again . . .

When I add a text expression to reduced-size notes - cue notes, e.g. - if I 
don’t want the text reduced by the same percentage as the note heads, I have to 
Control-click the handle, select Edit Expression Assignment, then UNcheck the 
box in the next dialog that says “Scale Expression with Attached Note.” I’d 
just like to save all those keystrokes by making that (the unchecked box) the 
default state and I’ve never found a way to do it.

I know I could make each expression so it has a fixed font size, but I don’t 
want that either, because I may need to reduce the page or staff size and then 
the expression is way too big.

Thanks for any insights.

Doug
