[Finale] Finale 25 test

I installed the demo version of Finale, since MM said it’s fully functional for 30 days. I opened an opera file that has been causing distress lately. A big file, 7.5mb for Finale, nearly 1400 measures, orchestra and about 24 vocal characters. Opening the file took a bit less time than

[Finale] A 'Where You At' Command?

2016-08-18 Thread Michael Dutka
Hi folks. I sometimes have to meticulously count notes and slurs for multiple bars to know whether a given string instrument / section is playing a given note with an up or down bow. And if a section continues for a significant length of time, I have to track back multiple bars to remind myself

This is Twilight Zone stuff, folks. I have installed Finale for windows 25, seems to come up just fine. The first thing I try is the lengthy file I earlier reported having trouble with in 2012 and 2014 .5. But, when I go to the folder and which I keep both the mus and musx versions of this file,

Does anyone know if word extensions have stopped randomly disappearing? Or if playback actually stops when you stop it? 2014.5 still unexpectedly quits every time I actually quit and sometimes shuts down with no error message at all - just disappears. I’ve only just discovered that space-bar

I have come across a need for such a command on occasion, also. Anybody else a former Personal Composer user? Personal Composer had such a command, if I recall correctly. Raymond Horton Composer, Arranger Minister of Music, Edwardsville (IN) United Methodist Church Retired Bass Trombonist,

I have not tried upgrading files that use the Mirror Tool, but my guess is that all the mirrors are converted to copies. On Thu, Aug 18, 2016 at 7:16 AM, Johannes Gebauer wrote: > Am 17.08.16 um 04:14 schrieb Craig Parmerlee: > > * Mirror tool (i.e. ie no more
