[Finale] Change Default Font crash.

2005-02-20 Thread Taris L Flashpaw
Hi all! This is about the fifth time this has happened and I'm getting a bit sick of it. I'm running FinWin2k2b and whenever I go to Change Default Fonts so that I can create the large time signatures that span multiple staves, I get the following error box after Finale crashes. The instruction

[Finale] Lyrics question...

2005-03-29 Thread Taris L Flashpaw
Hi all! I've been having this problem with lyrics for a while now. Every so often, the hyphens for syllable breaks will continue even after another syllable and sometimes through the next word. I've tried re-entering the syllables, but I get the same thing. How do I fix this? Taris

2005-03-29 Thread Taris L Flashpaw
Problem solved. I thought I'd checked the lyrics last night, but somehow two extra hyphens (with no text attached to them) had snuck into the lyrics between words. Taris ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu

[Finale] Question about parts...

2005-04-09 Thread Taris L Flashpaw
Hi all! I have recently written a piece in memory of one of my professors that passed away. The piece is for SSATB chorus, harp and flute. I would like to produce a complete set of parts for this work so I can send them back home to Ottawa to the university where I studied with him. What I was

Re: [Finale] Notating Suspendeds

2005-04-25 Thread Taris L Flashpaw
To me a sus4 chord and an add4 chord are different. The sus4 has no third, whereas the add4 would probably have one. The difference between a 9 and a sus2/add2 chord is whether or not the 7th is present. An add 2/add9 chord is just a major triad with a second/ninth added. A 9th chord implies a

Re: [Finale] Another Notation Question!

2005-04-27 Thread Taris L Flashpaw
That's older practice. Modern practice is to beam it as you would instrumental music, regardless of syllables. Use slurs to mark the syllables, but beam to show the beats. There's nothing I hate more as a singer than looking at a page of old music and seeing a mass of un-beamed notes. Twelve

[Finale] Notation: Triplets versus sextuplets

2004-04-26 Thread Taris L Flashpaw
What's the difference in notating a group of six notes as a sextuplet versus as two triplets? I would assume that the sextuplet would imply a feeling of the six notes being one unit, whereas the triplet would imply two groups of three. Taris --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked

I'm just wondering what the list's opinion of Gardner Read's Music Notation: A Manual of Modern Practice is. I'm thinking of acquiring it for myself and I'd like to get some opinions from people I trust instead of a bookseller's website. Thanks, Taris --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus

Re: [Finale] 2/10 time signature

I've been quietly watching this thread on unusual time signatures, and learning from the collective wisdom. The piece by Thomas Ades that was referred to before, might it have been Living Toys? I have seen the score for this work and in it, I was educated as to the meaning of 11/5 time.

I've been having a problem for a while with the list of recent files at the bottom of the file menu (FinWin2k2). It stopped updating sometime back in March. So long as I have the program open, it will display any new files I open or save, but once I shut the program down, it reverts to the old

I know this has probably been discussed here before, but I need a bit of help with a piece I'm working on right now. The piano part will definitely be easier to read if the notes in both hands are beamed together. Now, I now how to do cross-staff beaming and reverse stemming to make it all look

Seeing as how my newest work is a work for chorus, is there any way to import lyrics from another program (like Word or Notepad)? I've got a somewhat lengthy text and I'd rather not have to re-type the darn thing if I can help it. *howls* Taris --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Hey all! I was wondering if there was any way to create a vertical line with jogs at the end (like a square bracket) that had adjustable length. I don't want to have to create a new expression every time I need it; some pieces would have over a dozen of them. Thanks, Taris --- Outgoing mail

[Finale] Quarter-tone playback

I've followed the OLD on creating quarter-tone accidentals, but now I need to tap the list's collective wisdom on making quarter-tones playback. I figure I'll need to use pitch bend to do it, but for that I'd need to know how big to bend for a semitone (then divide by 2 for the quarter-tone).
