Re: [Finale] Repeating rhythms

[Michael Cook]

Mark, do you have Finale 2004? If so, you can use the new "Repitch" 
tool in Simple entry to do exactly what you describe but with one 
keystroke instead of four: just type the new pitches with the alpha 
characters.

Best wishes,

Michael Cook

Does anyone know whether there is a simpler way to enter a repeating rhythm
in Finale, than to enter every note? The rhythm is half a measure long, that
half measure has the same pitches. Then it repeats, with the pitches
changing with every repeat.
Is there a way to enter the pitches as half notes, and then copy the rhythm
onto them?
Probably not the answer you're looking for, but when I encounter 
something like that I generally mass copy the pattern with whatever 
pitches.  Then I move through it in Speedy qwerty typing: alpha 
character, clear, enter, arrow.  The latter three keys are a 
repetitive motion in the right hand, so I can power through pretty 
quickly without ever taking my eyes from the source copy.
