Hi folks. IMHO, one of the biggest problems Finale has vis a vis (dare I
mention on this e-group) Sibelius is the way it handles accidentals with
doubled notes, i.e., oboes 1 and 2 doubled on a B flat.
In Sibelius, the doubled accidentals are on top of each other. In Finale,
they're side by side, so in the score, two F sharps would have two #'s in
front of them, and a B flat would look like a B double-b (looking to the
conductor like it should sound like an A).
The first big score I wrote, I just erased all the flats in layer 2 with
shift8 (which took hours). Then, when it came time to generate parts, oboe
2 was missing the flat and played a wrong note.
My latest score's being recorded the end of the month, and this time, I
painstakingly moved every layer 1 flat on top of the layer 2 flat with the
flat mover tool in the tool menu (again, running 2010 on a Macbook). (This
took even longer, and I'm scared to think what the parts for the layer 1
instruments'll look like).
Do 2012 or 2014 have solutions to this problem? Are there any global
solutions anyone can recommend, especially solutions that don't muck up the
parts output?
Thanks and best,
Mike Dutka
