Re: [Finale] Microtone accidental positioning

2017-11-14 Thread SN jef chippewa
dude, why would you want to make your life so difficult? that is the absolute worst way to do microtonal notation. expressions are more reliable for positioning, but in any case, you will want to reset them all to the 0 position globally (once all are entered) before doing any real layout work.

I am suspecting that you used a non-MIDI method of entering the notes, and did not apply the flat to the second E that was tied over a barline from the E flat. It would make no difference to the notation, but it WOULD affect the playback. Christopher > On Nov 14, 2017, at 4:25 AM, Martin

Hmm, I have never had trouble with this. There might be something in the position settings that is messing things up (avoid staff lines?) You should submit this to the Forum, where you can include an attachment for people to look at. Christopher > On Nov 14, 2017, at 4:53 AM, Michael Lawlor

Re: [Finale] Drum parts numbering

2017-11-14 Thread Christopher Smith
For the plugin to work, you need the bars to match exactly, and for there to be more than three of them. Since I often put in one-bar repeats (or slashes, in the case of a drum part) that messes up the count. Even a dynamic in the first bar will cause the plugin to consider it as different. I

Check the alignment of the text box where the title is. If it is set to be, say, a certain distance from the left margin, that distance will be different on differently-sized pages. You probably want it to be centred. You probably want the instrument name to be left-aligned to the page margin,

Christopher Smith has given you one possible reason. My suggestion is that you might be using a slur instead of a tie. They look the same when placed over two notes of the same line/space on the staff but they carry very different instructions for playback. So first make sure you've got a

Followup: apparently it is not possible. According to the manual page, if you choose VST playback, you can't do MIDI. What a seemingly arbitrary limitation, but there's probably some technical reason for it behind the scenes. That said, it might be possible to do what I want to do if there were a
