Doesn't doubleclicking the measure tool add a new measure in Simple,
just as it does in Speedy?
Is this another case where Will has not worked through the tutorials?
Yes, David, you are right. But I am doing my best. On the other hand, my wife
and daughter are on holidays, so everything is very calm here, I don't have to
teach this week, it's a great time to try to write something.
I have two new problems. 1) I doubleclicked the measure tool 15 times in a row and now I am going to have a couple of measures too many. How can I delete measures at the end of the piece where there will be nothing written?
2) I need a couple of measures (say two) between measures 15 and 16. I need measure 15 (which is written), then m.16 new (empty for now), m.17 (also empty) and then m. 16 (the old one, where there is music). How can I create these two empty measures without getting into a lot of trouble with shifting notes etc.? Thank you for reading and with best regards, Will
Lawrence has already answered this message, but it really is time for
Will to actually read the manual, work through the tutorials and play
around with the program to learn all this stuff.
It's fine to ask questions, but when I first joined this list the
standard answer included a sharp rebuke of RTFM (Read The Finale Manual)
for those questions which could be just as easily answered by doing a
bit of reading rather than posting to a group and waiting for a response.
There are plenty of questions which won't be answered in the manual and
those are really where this group shines, but Will really should be
posting his questions from a position of knowledge, as in "I've searched
through the manual but I can't find the answer. How do I . . .?"
Rather than beginning a message with an almost boastful "Yes, David, you
are right. But I'm doing my best." in response to David Fenton's
questioning of whether Will has worked through the tutorials. It
doesn't really seem that Will is doing his best because the answer to
these questions can be easily found either by simply looking in the menu
(Measure tool menu is pretty clear on how to add measures or insert
measures) or looking up Measures in the index of the OLD.
