Right, but that's because you have identical assignment values in each verse, so swapping the lyrics leaves the assignments intact. As I understood the original poster, he had inadvertently put his verse 4 lyrics in the verse 5 box while putting nothing at all in verse 4. If that's the case, then your trick doesn't work, because verse 4 has no assignment values. mdl ___ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

[Finale] Unlocking Locked Staves
Can't remember how to do this... I'm making some changes (trying to fix some bad page turns) to a file that (in Page Layout view) has each staff marked with a "lock" symbol at the far right. What do I need to do to unlock the staves so I can adjust the spacing? Thanks... ng ___ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

Switch the lyrics using cutting and pasting, then Option-click (or whatever it is on the PC) to click-assign the lyrics for the entire verse with one click. In case the above isn't clear, here's what I did: I typed the lyrics for voice for in the verse 5 box and clicked-assigned them. I would like to switch them to verse 4.

[Finale] Re: cross staff tremolandi FinMac 2k4c
From: Owain Sutton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> That's some serious kludging you're doing there!... Unless anybody here can give some insider knowledge on how to get TG Tools to work for this, I think you really need to cut your losses and create the tremolos manually. Do you mean I should create the tremolo symbol in the shape designer and assign it as a metatool? As for articulations on cross-staff notes, I've had that same problem before now. I ended up working-around by creating 'new' articulations which are copies of the originals, set up to either always be above or always below the stave, etc. The duplicate articulation works fine...thanks! From: Michael Cook <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Use the "Beam Stem Adjust Tool" in Special Tools to change the length of that extra bit of stem. TGtools creates a tremolo by first making beamed notes, then changing the noteheads. When necessary it also hides the stems or alters the length of the beams. (This is indeed how we always made tremolos in Finale: TGTools simply automated the process). So to change the appearance of a tremolo, you need to use a Special Tool that works on beamed notes. It is the Special Tool>Beam Angle Tool that seems to have no effect. I have now tried another couple of alternatives: For instances like b.265 I created a extra piece of stem as an expression and assigned it by a metatool to hide the gap. That works, but they keep moving about which is very frustrating. For the unnecessary extension (b.260) I created a borderless white box to hide the extra bit of stem. Again, that won't stay put. Other solutions for consideration would be most welcome.

Re: [Finale] cross-staff tremolo FinMac 2k4c
Use the "Beam Stem Adjust Tool" in Special Tools to change the length of that extra bit of stem. TGtools creates a tremolo by first making beamed notes, then changing the noteheads. When necessary it also hides the stems or alters the length of the beams. (This is indeed how we always made tremolos in Finale: TGTools simply automated the process). So to change the appearance of a tremolo, you need to use a Special Tool that works on beamed notes. Best wishes, Michael Cook At 6:16 +1000 14/09/2004, Composer and Erstwhile Holidaymaker wrote: Hello Listers, (I originally posted this from a non-member address so apologies if it appears more than once.) I am having problems with the appearance of a cross-staff tremolo for piano. An example is at the following URL: http://www.stephen.cronin.name/example/tremolo.tif I created the tremolo on the lower staff (Piano I), used TGTools to create the appearance of the tremolo and then moved the second chord to the upper staff. The problem is that I want to move the tremolo lines between the staves but couldn't select them. Subsequently I fiddled with the tremolo a bit more and discovered that the tremolo lines can be shifted and reshaped on cross-staff whole notes using the Beam Tool in the Special Tools...not terribly intuitive since whole notes don't have beams. However, I have a related problem with quarter- and eighth-note cross-staff tremolandi as illustrated by the examples below: http://www.stephen.cronin.name/example/b260.tif http://www.stephen.cronin.name/example/b265.tif In bar 260 the extra bit of stem on the third beat seems unmovable, at least the Stem Length Tool doesn't recognise it. In bar 265 the loose piece of stem on the first beat is similarly unresponsive. Any suggestions? Further to these problems, when I assign articulations to the cross staff notes/chords, some of the time the articulations refuse to stay on the note-side and bounce back to the beam when I update the score. Again, any suggestions to sort this out would be most appreciated.
