[Finale] MacFin05 Finder windows stay on top

[Robert Patterson]

I remain puzzled why some Finale users chose to jump so quickly to OSX. 
MacFin05 under OSX remains absurdly slower and clunkier than Fin03 under 
OS9 was (on the same box). I am now almost sorry I switched, except that 
my OS9 installation was just too long in the tooth to keep running on. 
Apple did the Mac world a huge disservice in jumping too quickly, 
though, and Coda/MakeMusic/Etc did a mediocre job on their OSX port. 
(Apparently Apple wasn't hurt by the callous disregard of their 
customers. It's too soon to say about the Company Formerly Known as Coda.)

That said, I am now committed. The problem is that often when I launch a 
document from a Finder window, the document window appears behind the 
Finder window. This happens particularly when opening a second document. 
What's worse, if there are plugin windows open, you can't bring the doc 
window to the front. Gack!

Has anyone else seen this behavior and/or got a solution?

[Finale] Freeze measure widths?

I was about to ask how to do this and tried "one more thing" before asking
the list.  Well the one thing worked and I thought some of you might like to
know about it.

If you want to assign a measure a larger width and have it not be affected
by music spacing, increase the number(s) in the Extra Space boxes in Measure
Attributes.  Works like a charm.

NS 4.x puts up a blank page or even crashes when you mix a linked 
stylesheet with inline styles. The easiest way around this is to use 
one or the other (linked style sheets are certainly a lot easier than 
inline styles).

I try to code so that NS 4.x users get a readable view, but don't 
worry too much about how good it looks -- I'm only going for graceful 
degradation that allows the content to remain accessible. Support NS 
4.x at that level does mean that you can't use CSS 3-column layouts 
using absolute positioning and a number of other things. But other 
than that, I don't spend a lot of time tweaking specifically for NS 
4.x.

Here's a hint for using separate style sheets for NS 4.x without 
needing to do browser detection:

Use IMPORT, which is supported by all modern browsers, but ignored by 
NS 4.x:

  
  @import url(styles_w3c.css);

The first will be honored by Netscape, and the latter will simply be 
ignored, as NS 4.x knows nothing about it. Then you'll put all styles 
that are supported by all browsers in you NS4.x stylesheet, and 
override those styles and add other styles in the W3C stylesheet.

IE is "well-known" (i.e., notorious) for its completely broken 
implementation of the so-called "box model" for layout with style 
sheets. Whereas the standards define the relationships between a box, 
it's margins and borders in one way, IE puts the margin/border 
settings in the wrong place (I forget the exact details). The result 
is that percentage settings for width or height for containers are 
incorrectly honored -- you can set a width of 100% for a container 
and you'll end up with a horizontal scrollbar. The same code/style 
will produce a correct result on all other browsers (it also works 
correctly on early versions of IE, up to IE5, I think).

So, IE may be incorrectly calculating the vertical size in terms of 
the box model, and this is why the scrollbars do not appear until you 
resize the window to a size that is smaller than what IE incorrectly 
thinks the window's size really is.

This is one of the myriad reasons why no one should be using IE for 
anything at all -- it's a pile of crap in comparison to any modern 
browser (IE is not a modern browser, as its rendering code does not 
reflect the last 5 years of W3C standards).

Re: [Finale] Re: Playback options?

Brad,

In my response a few minutes ago I still hadn't caught the mistake in my
original post.  I forgot to include the option key with the spacebar, but no
click is needed.

So, as a recap, to achieve #4 in my original post (on a mac) hold the
spacebar and option key and drag *without* clicking.

Sorry for the confusion.

I use an extension that enlarges all text on the page a little, so the

Yes, that's correct. Microsoft's refusals to fully implement CSS and fix 
existing CSS bugs makes IE a very difficult browser to target. After 
all, some of the things IE doesn't support was defined almost 10 years 
ago...
Actually, what I'm trying to do is to work around existing IE CSS bugs 
by "take advantage" of other IE bugs, but that seems to not work well 
with MacIE. Perhaps I need to disable the static menu to the left on MacIE.

I am not sure if you support this, but NS2.7/Win2K can't display the

very much.

I will later check on Linux.  By the way, you might want to check your

if you don't want to offend Mac people (joking), you might want to use
ISO-8859-1.

That should be Ctrl+spacebar+drag (on Win). It should be noted that this 
method of playback does not take into account percussion maps. There's also 
a *really* annoying bug -- under certain circumstances, as you drag the 
cursor across a barline, Finale will playback the opening note of the piece

That is the only web page I have ever seen that was bigger than the 
Browser window and didn't have a vertical scroll bar.

There must be something in your HTML code that is incorrect.
I have seen that in IE before. But I would imagine it has something to 
do with the style sheet, not the html code.

Re: [Finale] Show active layer only ?

[Allen Fisher]

Darcy's right. Everything in the View menu is intended to effect only the
onscreen view. Since Show Active Layer effects your printout, it was moved
to the options menu.

Jari,

I am on a Mac, IE 5.2, and the pages do indeed load without any vertical
scroll bars.  But, if I resize the window slightly, they appear fine.
Funny, I have this same trouble with my own site and IE 5.2.  Personally, I
think it's a Microcrap issue.  But if you do figure it out, let me know how
you did it.

Re: [Finale] Finaletips site - new design

This page:

ends in the middle of a sentence. No vertical scroll bar appears on the
window. (Windows XP Home; Internet Explorer 6.0.2)

Greetings,
Wow! Thanks for that "too obvious" info. In my remedial arranging, 
I've been
forced to quit and re-launch every time I wanted to hear in the 
playback the
edits I've been doing. My work is much much faster now. (If only it 
were much
much better too...)

Here is another question: During arranging projects it would be very 
helpful
to have the playback command play only certain selected staves. Can 
each staff
in the score be selected to play or be silent? I'm on a Mac, OS 9.2.2, 
using
Finale 2003a.

Thanks,

If you keep the Instrument Window open, you can mute any staves in that 
so you will hear only what you want.

[Finale] Finaletips site - new design

[Jari Williamsson]

Hello!
During the past month, I have redesigned the Finale Productivity Tips 
site. Most of the redesigning is now completed.

I'm very soon going to a lots of new material to the site, and I would 
like to make sure that any design compatibility issues are solved before 
that. I have currently got reports that IE 5.2 for Mac can't scroll down 
on the pages, so that I would have to solve.

Please test with the browser you normally use and report to me if you 
encounter problems:
http://www.finaletips.nu/

Thanks!

Jari Williamsson
