Re: [Finale] trill

[hmauro]

I actually tried to edit the smart shape itself but did not succeed. I  
also tried a "Smart Playback" plugin from TGTools. I got the semitone,  
but the trill sounded to fast, unatural, and I couldn't figure out how  
to adjust the speed. Will try again today.
Thank you!

Re: [Finale] the eternal lyric bugs

[hmauro]

Thank you Chuck, that helps hyphenating, but I don't see how it could  
help making Finale stop hiding the hyphens I typed. And it is not  
because of tight space, as Christopher pointed out. There is plenty of  
space.

Re: [Finale] Access to Tempo Tool in FinMac 25

[hmauro]

They are not exactly the same, I think.  With the Tempo choice from  
the MIDI menu you need to select a partial measure to change the tempo  
for say, one beat only; then back to the score to make another partial  
measure selection for the next beat, to resume the previous tempo.  
With the Tempo Tool you click the meaure and get a window in which you  
can determine the exact point in the measure to apply the tempo change  
in EDUs as well as beats. Seems to me the Tempo Tool is more  
practical--selecting partial measures is kind of awkward thing to do.  
to me-- unless I am missing something.

Re: [Finale] Fw: [FinaleUsers] Sizing

As far as I know there is no way of doing that in Finale, but you  
could change the monitor's resolution to make everything bigger. I  
realize it isn't the answer you're looking for, but unless someone  
else has a better solution, that could work for you.

 I use the Portuguese keyboard layout/Portuguese keyboard. I learned

Re: [Finale] Barline question

[hmauro]

It is consistent with the score because every system ends with a  
closed barline, whereas in the middle measures the barlines are broken  
by groups/instruments. These are my choices in Document Options.  
Finale overides them when there is a repeat sign at the end of a  
system. However, what's in your picture is fine with me too. I just  
don't need that.
Harold


Quoting SN jef chippewa shirl...@newmusicnotation.com:

 Actually what I want is a continuous repeat barline only at the
 system's LAST measure. The first one can have breaks between groups.

 i think that looks ridiculous... just my opinion 8-) -- if you have a
 full ensemble closing repeat barline there should also be one at the
 beginning of the repeat.  otherwise there is a *HUGE*
 notational contradiction.

Re: [Finale] Harmonic Minor

[hmauro]

Hi Patricia, you don't need the b6 in the minor keys spelling table  
because it is in the key signature. Same goes for the b3, which  
eliminates the need for #2 also. All you need to do is to choose #7  
instead of b8.
Harold



Quoting Patricia Spedden psped...@huntington.edu:

 Thank you for taking the time to offer suggestions.

 I must really be doing something wrong.  My dialog box does not even  
 provide the options you suggest--#2, b3, b6, or b7.  I tried to send  
 an attachment with a screen shot of my dialog box, but the  
 attachment was too large to send.  So, I'll  list below the only  
 options available to me in my Edit Major  Minor Key Spellings  
 dialog box:

 Minor Keys
 Fixed Scale Step
 Altered Scale Step
  Raise #1 #3 #4 #6 #7
  Lower b2 b4  b5 b7  b8

 The Fixed Scale Step option offers the natural minor scale form,  
 which is what you get when using Default Spelling.  I see no way to  
 change the Altered Scale Steps options available to provide the  
 needed 1-½ steps between scale steps 7  8 to get the harmonic  
 minor--and as you can see, your suggested #2, b3,  b6 don’t appear  
 to be available.

 Please advise.

 I just tried this:

 Enharmonic Spelling is set to “Use Spelling Tables”.
 Minor Key Spelling table is set to default: #2, b3, b4, b6, b7.

 If I enter an F# using my MIDI keyboard, an F# appears in the score.  
 Do you not get this result with the settings above?

 Thank you for your response.  Actually, I couldn't figure out how  
 to use the spelling tables either.  Under Minor Keys, the default  
 altered notes are #6  #7, but that does not result in a raised  
 7th.  The other two choices are b7   b8.  I've tried every  
 combination of those options, but still get a Gb instead of an F#  
 in the key of G harmonic minor.  What am I doing wrong here?

 I do bounce between Favor Sharps/Favor Flats, but that gets  
 cumbersome, and sometimes I need both, as with an augmented III  
 chord.

 Thanks, too, for the helpful info on importing MIDI.

 Hi PAtricia,

 Under the Finale 2012 menu, in Enharmonic Spelling, if I choose  
 Use Spelling Tables that gives me automatically an F# in Gminor  
 when I am using Speedy Entry with a MIDI controller.

 I don't understand why that wouldn't be part of Use Default  
 Spelling but maybe you could open a tech support case to complain  
 about it. It makes no sense to me, either. I generally, however,  
 use Favor Sharps or Favor Flats, and have set keyboard shortcuts to  
 switch quickly between them. For G harm minor, I would use Favour  
 Sharps to make the 7th degree show up as F#.

 As for the second question, I would always use Tracks Become  
 Staves. This means that if the maker of the MIDI file put the same  
 alto sax sound on the same channel on two different staves (Alto  
 Sax 1 and Alto Sax 2, for example), it would show up on two  
 different staves, but they hardly ever do that. Channels Become  
 Staves  would combine them. If I need to combine something, I know  
 how Implode Music in Finale works.

 The Set Track-to-Staff list means that you already know what the  
 MIDI file has, and you want it to import a certain way. This is a  
 terrible option, because the only way to know this is if you  
 created the MIDI file yourself, in which case you should make it  
 the way you want it already.

 Finale 2012c, Win 7-64

 Hello,

 I have 2 questions:

 1.  Does anyone know how to set a minor key signature that will  
 automatically raise the 7th scale step (rather than lowering tonic  
 1/2 step) when using harmonic minor? For example, in G harmonic  
 minor, every F# appears as a Gb.  After years of manually raising  
 the 7th scale tone, I'm wondering if there is a way for Finale to  
 raise it automatically.  I've looked at the nonstandard menu  
 (although harmonic minor is hardly nonstandard), and cannot figure  
 it out.  In a long document with thick chords, it takes quite a  
 while to correct all the 7ths.

 2.  When importing a free MIDI file, how do you know which of the  
 first 3 options to select in the dialog box--if you don't
