Re: [Finale] Scanner recommendations?
For most purposes, a regular $99 scanner should do you fine. Most of the higher-end scanners, I've noticed, do things that scan to larger formats, ability to scan transparencies (negatives, positives). The average person doesn't ever need anything like that. I'd imagine that ability for a book to lay flat would be a good thing for you though. On 10.09.2004 15:13 Uhr, "Michael J.

My experience recently has been much better than this. I scanned several baroque harpsichord sonatas (mostly two voice counterpoint) and it was much faster than note entry would have been.

RE: [Finale] Scanner recommendations?
I find that scanning music simply "depends." I had reason to require Dvorak's Requiem in Finale a year ago. If I recall the score is about two hundred pages long. I xeroxed the score, scanned it using a consumer level Epson scanner, OCR'd it using SharpEye and imported it into Finale using MusicXML. I'll be darned if it wasn't bad at all. Sure some accidentals got dinged; occasionally some key signatures short-changed. Using MIDI playback was a simple way to test. Other times, I have scanned recent, very well done scores and ended up with a lot of headache. In my experience the SharpEye/Music XML combo works pretty nicely indeed. The engraving style and accuracy of the scanned piece makes the difference. /Jim -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of dhbailey Sent: Friday, September 10, 2004 6:42 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Finale] Scanner recommendations?

First you have you scan the music in, which means that the music scanning software will make its best guess about the dots and lines and stuff, and put that into an intermediary file which Finale will import and then make its best guess before turning it into notation on your monitor. Then you have to go through and check each note/rest/accidental/expression/whatever out and make certain it is correct. Then you have to assign all the voices you want on each staff, and THEN save as a SmartMusic file for playing with the SmartMusic program. Music scanning is still in its infancy, with accuracy rates on perfect originals somewhere around 85%, and for less than perfect originals (say old dog-eared music which was originally hand-engraved) it can be lower than 50%. So buy the scanner because you want a scanner, not specifically for Finale use. But don't expect to go Scan, Import, Save-as-SmartMusic, open-Smartmusic-and-play in just a few clicks. -- David H.

Re: [Finale] Scanner recommendations?
I made an interesting discovery that I want to share with you. FYI, I use a PC with WinXP SP2 and Finale 2005. For the longest time (which seems at this point forever) I was frustrated by my inability to get SmartScore Lite to recognize my .tif scans. I was using an ARTEC scanner. Whenever I would try to open a black and white 300dpi .tif file I would get an error message that the file was not compatible. No amount of tweaking the settings would produce a readable file. I bought a Lexmark X5250 scanner/copier/printer hoping that it would provide a better .tif file. Same result; unrecognizable file format. I read the user manual section on scanning and was generally disappointed that I seemed to be forever stuck with keying in or hyperscribing data into Finale. Then the technological cloud parted and I saw the light! Forget scanning into .tif format. It may or may not work. Scan and save as a .bmp (bitmap) format, then open that image in your graphics editor and save it as a .tif file. Voila! It works every time! Your scanner may not be able to generate a compatible .tif image. However, your graphics editor will be able to do it. Try it.

Re: [Finale] SP2 Consensus?
Hi David, Therefore, the only safe and prudent way to use your computer is to create a USER logon that you use as a regular basis that has only USER-level permissions. The result is that less damage can be done to your system if a rogue program is executed. It also means that whenever you need to install software or hardware (or change software/hardware configurations), you must log on as an ADMINISTRATIVE-level user. Some people seem to find this minor inconvenience intolerably irritating and use this minor extra step as justification for skipping the safe step of working normally as a user-level logon. I don't understand why people are so willing to give up the safety because of such a minor inconvenience. It reminds of people who won't wear seat belts in automobiles. In OS X, this problem is solved by requiring even users who have admin privileges to authenticate (i.e., enter their password) before they perform admin-level tasks, like installing software, etc. It also allows non-admin level users to perform admin-level tasks, without logging out, if they can supply the name and password of an admin-level user. There may be flaws in this method that I'm not aware of, but it does seem (to me, at least) that it gives basically the same level of security as having separate admin and user accounts for the same person (since a password is always required for all admin-level actions), but without the hassle of having to log off and log on again using a different user profile. - Darcy - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Brooklyn, NY ___ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

But you do different kinds of tasks: 1. reading email, typing letters, creating Finale documents, simply manipulating data (and doing nothing to the system). 2. installing software, installing new hardware, etc., and otherwise altering the configuration of the system itself. The first group of tasks are USER tasks, the second ADMINISTRATIVE tasks. USER tasks manipulate data. ADMINISTRATIVE tasks manipulate the configuration of the system itself. To accomplish the first group of tasks you do not need the power to do the second group of tasks. Every NT-based version of Windows has always shipped with certain predefined user groups, each with its own associated set of permissions and privileges. The two key groups are USERS and ADMINISTRATORS. When you initially set up an NT-based Windows computer, the first account you create is the default ADMINISTRATOR account. This is the ROOT account on your PC, the one that has special status as your PC's God, so to speak. That logon has permission to alter and change EVERYTHING on your PC, full permission and privileges on everything. It is not wise to log on as ROOT on a regular basis, because you can accidentally do damage to your system, especially if you were to inadvertently execute a worm, virus or Trojan -- any program you launch as ROOT inherits all the permissions of the user logon it is running as. Therefore, the only safe and prudent way to use your computer is to create a USER logon that you use as a regular basis that has only USER-level permissions. The result is that less damage can be done to your system if a rogue program is executed. It also means that whenever you need to install software or hardware (or change software/hardware configurations), you must log on as an ADMINISTRATIVE-level user. Some people seem to find this minor inconvenience intolerably irritating and use this minor extra step as justification for skipping the safe step of working normally as a user-level logon. I don't understand why people are so willing to give up the safety because of such a minor inconvenience. It reminds of people who won't wear seat belts in automobiles. A few random points: 1. some older software was not designed to be able to run properly with only user-level access. For instance, with the user-level permissions for writing to the system registry of Win2K and WinXP, Word 97's spell checker won't run (in NT 4, the permissions on the Office 97 registry keys were more permissive). This is easily fixed by changing giving the USERS group full control of the appropriate Office 97 registry key (it's one of the Proofing Tools keys). Irritatingly, there are lots of software installers that long post- date NT that still aren't designed on the assumption that the programs they install need to be able to be run with only user-level permissions (indeed, most installers should be able to install with only user-level permissions, since it's perfectly conceivable that software would be installed only for the currently logged-on user; many installers stiill can't do this). This causes some programs to break when run under a user-level logon. The only case where this is OK would be for installers created for NT 4 (i.e., before the release of Win2K, which tightened permissions/privileges significantly in comparison to NT 4), and that means installers created before about 1999 (when Win2K was released). Any software that postdates the release of Win2K should have been designed by default to run perfectly OK with only user-level permissions. 2. Microsoft has configured the Windows setup process to encourage users to do two very unsafe things: a. run as an administrative-level user b. log on automatically. This is so that the new NT-based versions of Windows seem to work just like the old versions of Windows, where you were always running as root and didn't have to log on to the system, and so that users never run into the "you don't have permission to do this" prompt. The problem with this is, of course, that you then lose all the benefits of having a built-in security system and access control lists (ACLs) that restrict access to objects in the system registry and in the file system. The other result of this is that the vast majority of home users haven't a clue why they are getting infected with everything under the sun -- it's actually because they are running in the most insecure configuration imaginable. Basically, the current computer ecosystem demands that you be a good citizen and *not* run in a configuration that allows rogue software to infect your machine. Now, it is certainly the case that even running as a restricted user you can infect y

Any ideas as to why one voice's volume acted differently from the rest? In the Playback Options you should UNcheck Play Recorded Velocities and UNcheck Play Recorded Continuous Data. Perhaps that will work, if the original midi you imported had a quieter volume or lower velocities for that particular channel. Another thing to think about would be whether you have inserted an expression which has volume or velocity assigned as playback. I often will duplicate an expression simply because its appearance is what I want, then I edit it to display the text I want in the score, and occasionally I forget to check if the expression I duplicated had playback previously assigned to it. Hope this helps. -- David H. Bailey [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

Re: [Finale] Jazz Chord
Crystal Premo wrote: Thanks to everyone for trying to help out with the strange chords. I will pass the wisdom along gently and see if it helps to enlighten the client. You had mentioned in a previous post that she has used the manuscripts before in performances and had always gotten what she had wanted, which is why she wants the engraved version to be exactly the same. You might consider pointing out that she had gotten what she had wanted previously simply because everybody had ignored the specific chord marking and had played essentially a Gmin chord, voiced as they wanted. -- David H.

Re: [Finale] Jazz chord
hi Crystal, Strange, someone composing or arranging music and using such a nonsense chord symbol like Fmin7sus5 no 7. But, maybe the 5 is a typo and should be 4. Second: min7, but no 7 means just minor, right? Third: sus means suspended, so there shouldn't be a third in the chord; what is meant is probably the 11 as an extension added to the chord. Conclusion: I would use FMIadd4 or FMIadd11 (following the New Real Book suggestions for layout, by the way, which is not possible in plain e-mail text). And: being a jazz musician myself I would look at the notes themselves to be sure the dear composer uses the right symbols for the sound. If your client really want 8 measures per system and at the same time uses somewhat large chord symbols, you'll have to use a small point size for your symbols, I guess, or convince him/her of your insights. Hope this helps.
