1. I wish to delete some finale files. Simple, eh?
Moved them to trash singly. Wouldn't go in.
Moved them to trash as a group. No dice.
Dragged one to desktop to try from there - it made a new copy.
Well, this isn't a Finale issue. It's something going on with your
operating system. (You don't say if you're on Mac or Win.) On the other
hand, if you've got the file open in Finale at the same time that you're
trying to delete it, it won't work. Files can't be deleted by the system
if they're in use by some application.
2. Also embarrassingly simple but I've spent too much time on this as
well: How do I get a new folder into my listing of files to organize
it?
Again, I'm not sure what you mean here by "listing of files", but it
sounds like you're talking about something that's OS related and not
FInale related. In Windows, you would right-click in a folder window and
choose New ->Folder.
3. Not quite so simple: what is the easiest way of setting up a part
for - say Bb Clarinet on the right pitch but without a key
signature? At this point I make the file in the automatic fashion,
go to Staff, Edit Staff Attributes, and choose No Key.
What you want do do is select Chromatic transposition, up M2. That will
get all the notes to play back a whole step lower than written. You'll
still need to enter any accidentals in the part, but they'll play back
correctly.
Aaron.
