I am very interested in microtonal music. I have not tried this in
finale, even as a user who works with Finale almost twenty years.
If you are sucessfull in Finale, please tell me. I tried quarter
tone music in Cubase, using two "Grand" vst instruments and tuning
one a quarter tone lower. This works, but I would like to do better,
using quarter tone accidentials. And how about other microtonal
scales, third tones and other? I never found a good solution.
I wrote my "Enneakaidekaphonic Variations" for two 19-note ET recorders
by distinguishing
in the notation between the sharps and flats that would be enharmonic
equivalents in ET12. *
For playback, I put non-printing expressions with pitch bend on each
note. It sounds tedious,
but went reasonably quickly with each expression on a metatool.
* C C# Db D D# Eb E E# F F# Gb G G# Ab A A# Bb B B#
If you want to work in ET31, you can add double flats and double sharps
to give enough
different pitch classes. I would want automatic application of the
pitch bend before I tried
that, and can't think how to do it.
