Re: [Finale] Metatools

[Robert Patterson]

You can reprogram the transposition metatools (6-9) by hitting cmd-shift-#
while in the Selection Tool.

Re: [Finale] Metatools

Those are the default metatools. In the Selection Tool, 
6 down a step
7 up a step
8 down an octave
9 up an octave

Also useful:
5 beat spacing
4 music spacing
3 elapsed time
2 explode
1 implode

[Finale] Metatools

[Lawrence David Eden]

Finale 25.5 Mac OS Mojave

Where are the transposition meta tools stored?  I used to hit “7” to transpose 
a measure down and octave, and “8” to transpose up an octave.  Right now, 
Finale is transposing up a whole step when I hit “7” and down an octave when I 
hit “8.”  

Thanks in advance,

Re: [Finale] Metatools Not Working

This happens to me pretty regularly in Finale Mac 2012.  I don’t know why, but 
restarting the Mac is the ONLY solution.  I really believe this bug is related 
to the stuck metatool bug I have dealt with for years.  And the Finale folks, 
whatever they’re called today, don’t seem to want to even think about fixing 
it.  Typical.

Re: [Finale] Metatools Not Working

[SN jef chippewa]

are they actually defined in the document you are working on?

is this an older document opened in a newer version of finale?  i 
lose my metatool definitions when opening older files in F2012.

[Finale] Metatools Not Working

[Giovanni Andreani]

Suddenly the metatools I have been using don't work any more: articulations and 
expressions are no longer recalled via the metatool setup.
This is going to be a serious issue if I don't resolve the problem.

Any hints?

This is actually true, as the power supply in a computer maintains 
power after it's unplugged from the wall socket for a minute or two. 
The motherboard of my desktop PC has a pilot light on it that doesn't 
go out for at least a minute after the computer is unplugged from the 
wall socket. For onboard hardware like sound cards and network cards, 
this can potentially be important.

I'm not sure that it would matter in Chuck's case, with a keyboard 
issue, but for peripherals that are drawing power directly from the 
computer's motherboard, it could be relevant.

I take it you have quit and restarted the computer? Sometimes goofy  
behaviour goes away after a restart or two.


Make sure you are using your usual keyboard map, too. Finale will  
behave differently if you are using, say, a Canadian keyboard map  
rather than a US one.


And David, the stuck key thing is not such a long shot! It happens to  
me all the time.

This is a long shot, but have you checked to make sure you don't  
have a stuck key on your keyboard, specifically, one of the  
"shift" keys? I usually just pound on all the shift keys to try to  
unstick them if I suspect this kind of thing (it's kind of  
satisfying ;).

Hi Mark,

I love the Patterson Plug ins too and wouldn't be without them.  But  
if you don't have them yet but you do have TGTools, you can use  
TGTools>Modify>Transfer>Metatools to bring in just your metatools for  
expressions and articulations.

Nope, no metatools come along for the ride with the default library
export and import.

However, you can use Patterson Tools' Settings Scrapbook to transfer
libraries and metatools.
