Re: [Finale] Fin2k6 whoes (GPO, Default File)
I haven't tried it in 2k6, but in earlier versions the default file names used for the wizard were hardwired, and you could rename them. I am pretty sure this is still the case. However, this problem I solved. The problem was that my new file had a hidden .mus suffix (as it should), while MM requires this file to not have a suffix. Johannes Karen schrieb: Hi Johannes, I also us a default file but I have never named it the same thing as one of the MM default docs. Here's how I made it work: 1) Put your default file in the 2006 Components File and name it something other than a Finale name i.e. Perhaps JG Default. 2) Highlight the file name in this case JG Default and command-C copy to clipboard. 3) Go to OptionsProgram OptionsNew and in the box next to Default Document paste in the name of your default document(it's important to use copy and paste) 4) Make sure the radio button selected is Default Document 5) You can set Startup Action: to anything you like. I have mine set to No Action so that I can just type command-N to open up my custom document. 6) While still in program options select folders from the list on the left side and make sure that your components file setting is pointed to the right file... 7) Quit and restart Finale.

Re: [Finale] Fin2k6 whoes (GPO, Default File)
No 1) I solved myself. The GPO issue is worse than I thought. If I create a string quartet, the instruments are called Violino 1, Violino 2, Viola, Cello. They should be called Violin I, Violino II, Viola, Violoncello. That's three out of four wrong, by any European Standard. How do I change this. It amazes me the the wizard needs me to set up a special GPO thing to be able to use GPO. It should be smart enough to assign instruments according to my choice of parts which I make with the instrument.txt file (which I obviously change to use Italian names, which MM still hasn't managed to do, even though I know of no European style score of classical music that uses anything but Italian names, certainly not English names)! I cannot believe this at all. This is a huge step backwards. Johannes Johannes Gebauer schrieb: 1) I can't get the wizard to recognize my default file.

Re: [Finale] Fin2k6 whoes (GPO, Default File)
I just looked in the instrument.txt file and the ensemble.txt and the violins are all listed with roman numerals. The violoncello is listed as simply cello but I suppose you could edit those files (probably best to make copies first in case you need to revert) and edit that. As to why they are appearing with arabic numerals instead of roman numerals, only those at MakeMusic can answer. It is particularly puzzling because in those two files, they are listed differently than they appear onscreen. There is a file called gpoinstrument.txt which you could make a copy of and then edit to change those arabic numerals to roman numerals, and change cello to violoncello. It is indeed curious that this Garritan Personal Orchestra wouldn't observe long-standing orchestral traditions. But hopefully this can provide you with a way out of your dilemma. Just be sure to have backup copies of the original files before you edit them. David H. Bailey Johannes Gebauer wrote: No 1) I solved myself. The GPO issue is worse than I thought.

Hi Johannes, I also us a default file but I have never named it the same thing as one of the MM default docs.
