[Finale] Capo Problems

2004-01-20 Thread James Cooper
Hello - I was wondering if any of you have solved these problems.

I am doing a song in Eb major with chords - wanting to set it up for capo on
the 3rd fret for guitar.  I am running into 2 problems. (FinWin2k4)

1. It looks like I need to go through each chord and double-click on it to
get the Chord definition dialogue box and enter capo 3rd fret.  Is there no
way to change the whole piece at once?

2. When I change the C minor chord to 3rd fret, it then reads B double-flat
minor, instead of A minor.  When I tried changing the original chord to B#
minor, then with 3rd fret it read G double-sharp minor.  How can I get it to
display A minor?

Thanks in advance for your help.

The Oxford Companion to Music confirms David's comments re- ad libitum and
obbligato, giving examples of the 'confusion' and stating - rather smugly, I
thought- "a clear case of Lucus a non lucendo". Translation please?

FWIW my solution to what to put in parts and score would be "optional"  and
"play"

When I've needed extra barlines, I've used one of these:
1. Use them as expressions. The barline is a font character, and can be
attached & spaced as needed.
2. For many staggered barlines, I create lyrics that consist exclusively of
the barlines, and then raise the baselines.

Until Finale actually supports fully independent barlines, all these
workarounds will continue. How many years? :)

It doesn't work "out of the box", unfortunately. It only prints one page. 
And I see nothing in the instructions that might make it print the whole 
booklet. But I'm pretty sure it could be done with a script. Unless I'm 
missing something. The documentation on FinaleScript leaves quite a bit do 
be desired, in my opinion. Let's see if anyone else has got it working.

I use Clickbook for my booklets, which does a very good job and is very

Not even the shape designer would be absolutely needed. Select the line tool

That's how I do it -- assuming that by "hiding" the 1/4 you mean 
setting the measure to "display as" 4/4.  Also, don't forget to adjust 
your measure numbers accordingly.

I suppose someone might put together a plug-in (or script??) to do

You don't need to hide any time signatures, if you specify for the two 
measures that you want the time signature to be 3/4 display as 4/4 and 
1/4 display as 4/4, which is the way I sometimes do this, particularly 
if measure number values don't matter, and I need the 1/4 measure as the

However, if measure numbers matter, and I don't need the target, I have

The best way is to make the two measures, making a 3/4 measure and a 1/4

You'll have to adjust your measure numbers, if you're using them.

This is the way to do it in Finale. First measure should be 3/4, second 1/4,
and you will have to adjust the measure numbers as well.

I wished there was a plugin, which could do the work automatically. Ie, you
enter the measure as though there wasn't a double bar, select it, call the
plugin, tell it "divide measure after 3rd beat" and then it would split the
measure and adjust the measure number regions (ie split the region). This
would be good for mid-measure repeats as well.

Oh, and while we are on about plugins: is Jari still around? I am wondering
whether you are planning on bringing some of your plugins to OS X? Some of
them have become redundant, I guess, but I'd love to get the Time Sig plugin
(and if you do it, there is a bug in there).

I have seen the concave version (base of the triangle curved inward 
toward the tip, making a shape like a cocklebur) in publications from 
as early as 1830, and it is the standard shape from the late 19th c. 
on (in scores by Stravinsky, e.g.). It has always surprised and vexed 
me that Finale has not included this form in any of its fonts. The 
older, convex form (dart-shaped) is available in Maestro, where it 
can be found at ' and opt-sh-'.

For the cocklebur, I use the old Crescendo font, wh. I understand is 
no longer available. I'm sure the symbol must be found somewhere 
though--life isn't *that* absurd!

If I understand your directions correctly, you can do the following:

Simple entry;

Deselect "check for extra notes";

Put the notes in the bar as required, and add an extra 16th note beside
the one you need the beaming on;
Beam those two notes with Speedy entry (and choose "ignore the extra
notes" in the dialog box);
Change the unneeded notehead to a 'non-character' to hide it;

Use the beam stem adjust tool to move the extra stem on top of the one
still with the notehead, to hide it.

Sorry, I didn't completeley explain my problem. No, I don't need to beam two
notes across a bar, because the is in the the last bar of a system; it's a
single-standing 16 note, and I would like to have it beamed like if it had
to be beamed to another 16th note
Thank you
Giovanni
In that case, what I've written should work - remove the notehead from 
the 'extra' 16th note after the one you want beamed in this way, and do 
as I describe.

Hello,
I'm trying to beam a note as single 16th note with a beam as it would be if
extended over a rest, but it's the last note in 3/8 time with other rests
before it, and I don't want it beamed within the previous group. In the
Finale options (2003), I can just find the "Extend Beams Over Rest"
checkbox.
Am I missing something?
Tank you all

You want it beamed over the barline into the next measure?
