[Finale] FinWin 2k3 - problem in 2nd ending creation
I have a problem creating 2nd endings on bars that have the first note tied to the last note of the bar before the first ending. Using ctrl++ on the keyboard I should be able to create a tie that goes backward but the most of times this does not work and I have to create a tie manually. What is the exact order of actions in making this 2nd ending? I mean: 1) I put notes in the bar that will start 2md ending then create the second ending then do the ctrl+ action 2) I create the 2nd ending then put notes in the bar then ctrl+ or other? Both of these actions don't work. Thanks for hints. Marcello -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

[Finale] OT: GPO alternatives
Many Finale users seem to be interested in Garrison Personal Orchestra. The Mac version does not perform as well as one might hope, at least for the time being. Here is another alternative to consider. This is from two Namm press releases put out by MOTU. -Randolph Peters * MOTU Symphonic Instrument unveiled at NAMM 2005 Tuesday, January 25, 2005 @ 8:45pm MOTU has launched its Symphonic Instrument, a $300 cross-platform instrument plug-in that gives users quick and easy access to a 8GB library of quality orchestra sounds for composing, sequencing and rendering realistic orchestral performances. It can be used with any compatible host application (VST, Audio Units, DXi, MAS and RTAS), where users can load up to sixteen different instruments per instance of the plug-in. Built-in convolution reverb allows users to place their ensemble in authentic acoustic spaces, from orchestra sound stages to renowned concert halls to majestic cathedrals. It offers easy-to-use controls to allow further adjustment of each instrument; sounds can also be directly loaded into MOTU's MachFive universal sampler plug-in for more advanced layering and programming. ** MOTU debuts major upgrades to MachFive, MX4 at NAMM Wednesday, January 26, 2005 @ 8:55am MOTU last week unveiled version 2.0 of its instrument plug-ins, MachFive and MX4. MachFive Version 2, MOTU's universal sampler plug-in, will include unlimited parts per instance, a full-screen preset browser, a new modular synthesis architecture, keygroup layering with rule-based switching, larger sample and keygroup editors, a complete built-in mixer, LoopLab groove slice engine, sample time-stretching, and many other new features. Meanwhile, MX4 Version 2, MOTU's hybrid synth plug-in, will add more effects, more presets, a built-in pattern gate, a built-in arpeggiator and numerous additional modulation sources and shapers. MachFive v2 will ship in the second quarter for $400 (upgrade cost not announced), while MX4 v2 will ship the first quarter of 2005 as a free upgrade to version 1 or for $300 (full license). The company offered a peak at some of the new features of MachFive Version 2, but said that more features would be revealed at a later date: * Stand-alone operation- In addition to supporting all major plug-in formats on Mac and Windows, MachFive Version 2 operates as a stand-alone application, allowing it to be used with popular music applications such as Finale that don't host audio plug-ins. Users can also build Mac- or PC-based systems designed solely for large-scale sample playback via MachFive as the software front end for the system. * Unlimited parts- Currently, MachFive Version 1 provides 16 parts. Each part can be loaded with a different instrument (preset) for independent sequencing on up to 16 different MIDI channels per instance of the plug-in. In Version 2, MachFive lets users add unlimited parts to one instance of MachFive, eliminating the need to open multiple instances when more than 16 parts are needed. The stand-alone version of MachFive can receive on an unlimited number of MIDI channels, while the plug-in version supports up to 128 separate MIDI channels per instance. * Full-screen preset browser- As just one example of its entirely new graphics engine, MachFive Version 2's new preset browser fills the entire window with a semi-transparent, multi-column list for browsing soundbanks, preset categories and presets, making it much easier for users to find sounds. * Unlimited keygroup layers - In MachFive Version 1, samples can be conveniently and flexibly mapped as keygroups across the entire 128 MIDI note range and 0-127 velocity depth. MachFive Version 2 adds a third dimension, allowing users to stack unlimited layers of keygroups in one preset. Think of Version 1 as providing only one layer per preset. Now users can build multiple layers per preset and use sophisticated rules for switching between layers in real-time. For example, a user could load various articulations of an instrument into several layers and use key switches to instantly change articulations (layers). Or they could use a modulation wheel to smoothly crossfade among several articulations (layers). * Enhanced Giga and EXS24 library support- The just-mentioned layering feature allows MachFive Version 2 to provide much better support for the use of sample libraries in the Giga and EXS24 sample formats. * Expanded modular synth engine- Under the hood, MachFive has a newly expanded, modularized synthesis engine that provides a host of new features. Two aggressive filters are supplied per keygroup, as are more LFO waveforms, pitch processing, time stretching, tempo synced multi-stage envelopes with unlimited stages and streamlined performance.

[Finale] Dual display on Mac mini
I'm sorry to say that this cable, from Pacific Cable: http://www.pacificcable.com/Picture_Page.asp?DataName=DVIIY-1 ... doesn't do the trick at all. First off, it only seems to feed one display at a time. Second, image quality on the VGA end is *horrible*, with an insane amount of ghosting and distortion. I was told disabling Pin #12 on my VGA extension cable might help, so I clipped it off, but that didn't make any difference at all. After much tweaking, etc., I did figure out how to switch between one monitor and the other using the Displays preference pane -- bizarrely, setting the refresh rate to 60 Hz activates the DVI display, and setting it to 75 Hz switches to the VGA display. I might even have kept the cable just for that functionality (better than constantly plugging and unplugging), if the VGA image quality weren't so screwed up. Keep in mind, I was only trying to get *mirrored* displays -- not even extended desktop -- but even that doesn't seem possible, at least not with this particular cable. It looks for the time being like I'll be resorting to plugging whichever monitor I happen to need at the moment -- the one at my desk or the one above my keyboard. - Darcy - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Brooklyn, NY ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

And I still have to decipher the alto clef for the viola parts (shame on me for not getting used to that by now). If I wrote more string music, I'd probably get to the point where that was as transparent to me as the saxophone transpositions are. You would, I guarantee it. And not only for writing, but for playing. Early music often comes in a variety of clefs, and it's a little scary to start playing a part on, say, tenor recorder, in alto clef, and by the end of the piece be reading automatically! John And don't forget the extra benefit of gaining fluency in all the clefs -- transposition at sight becomes a breeze. IMO, this should still be a part of every musician's training. Yes, and Boulenger was still teaching them, according to one of her students. And don't forget, we're not talking just about orchestral clefs, but the full system of 9 movable clefs: G clef on the 1st or 2nd line; C clef on the first, second, third, or 4th line; F clefs on the 3rd, 4th or 5th line. You need to know the whole system to use it for instant transposition. I write for horn seldom enough that it really helps to think of it as being in mezzo-soprano clef, concert C on the second line. John I can't remember not knowing how to read the grand staff, but C clefs still give me more trouble than they should. I remember, from scoring my symphony for brass, that a tenor clef trombone and a Bb trumpet playing an octave higher use the same lines and spaces. There are other tricks too, I bet.

I just learned another set of fingerings. (And had to learn a 3rd set when I played a CC tuba in the pit for Annie.) I can now get confused equally well with three different sets of tuba fingerings! On the other hand, minus being able to find a bassoonist, for the past two summers we've had a bari sax covering the bassoon books. How he handled the tenor clef places I didn't even ask!!
