When I write an accidental, parenthesized or not, there is no courtesy involved! It's just me, as a composer, doing my damnedest to get the players to play what I want them to play instead of something else. Maybe they'll have the courtesy to do that, but experience has taught me not to hold my breath. I hear you! Likewise for me. However, some of my better students (those actually capable of thinking and playing in a particular key) do sometimes get confused by "courtesy" accidentals, since I've drilled into their heads that the barline cancels out any "real" accidental. But when I'm writing for a recording session I almost always put in courtesy accidentals, but I never use a parenthesis. I find parenthesized accidentals too hard to read. Maybe I need better glasses. ;-) Lon Price, Los Angeles[EMAIL PROTECTED]http://www.txstnr.com ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
Re: [Finale] pdf printing resolved
I suppose that is possible. I used three different programs to create the various files. I also have graphics, created in a draw program, embedded in some of the Finale documents. I thought, however, that creating a pdf would take care of all that. I have, in the past, created web pages which require that certain documents referenced in the web page are located in the same folder. I didn't realize pdfs work in a similar fashion.

Because two single pages involves creating some sort of hinge that sticks to the paper and will last as long as the paper does (an expensive and time-consuming operation when you are talking about orchestra or choir parts, not to mention the special tape), plus it simplifies enormously the task of creating booklets that you can centre-staple. Also you can run it through a photocopier in one pass instead of 4 (in the case of a double-sided, double-page part) and you never have to worry about pages getting separated. Plus, it is the standard for parts, which is a compelling argument in itself. Christopher ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

On my printer at work, we use 11x17 for bigger drawings ;-) I have never seen anyone print a double page that size. Why not print 2 single pages? Maybe we need to define our terms? A printer is not a copier, nor vice-versa. The technology I have access to is not exactly state-of-the-art. Our departmental printer, networked to all our computers, is business sized, printing 8 1/2 x 11, 8/1/2 x 14, and recognizing A4. (A bit of a problem that. Some of my foreign students apparently have their Page Setups set for A4 paper, and when I send their files to the printer it recognizes that setting and waits patiently for someone to feed it A4 paper, which I doubt we could even purchase if we wanted to, thus stopping the printing queue for everyone in the department!) So, I have to print single pages of music. I then copy onto 11 x 17 paper on the copier, putting two pages on each side. Yes, I lose a generation, but it's sufficient for my needs. Our Community Band director has gone one step further, and had a local print shop (NOT copy shop) order him heavy weight, opaque 11 x 17 paper, which is infinitely better than the flimsy 20-lb bond that's easy and cheap to buy. But we're both still stuck with the difference between printers and copiers.

Re: [Finale] printers
could find an economical method of printing larger scores and parts, say 9x12, but the laser printing world only seems to go to 11x17, and the larger formats are inkjet and therefore less stable on the page. My Canon (inexpensive) office/photo printer (i860) has pigment black ink for text (and music) work and dye photo black and color for photos and other color work. Archival studies have shown pigment inks to be very stable. They will last as long as a laser. If your using a pigment ink, you should be more concerned about the life of the paper than the ink. Most of the Epson printers also use pigment ink. I know this is where I differ from most of the folks on this list but I LIKE the way a good ink jet printer prints parts. The ink settles down into the paper like a piece printed with a press and looks great. Laser prints seem to float on top of the paper which I don't like (I think it looks too modern for me :) ). Large scores on smaller paper are a different matter. The reduced size of the music seems to reduce the resolution past the point of acceptability with an ink jet. I don't care for 11x17 (too long for the stand) or legal size scores (not much of an improvement over letter size). I do like 11x14 paper for scores. Since my music is sold with a license to copy, I provide letter size parts. If you have longer works, want the music printed a little bigger, or want to discourage copying, you might prefer 9x12 for parts (11x14 is a little unmanageable on a player's stand). If you want to print parts 2-up or as booklets, many of the better ink jets will print on paper that is 13 x 19 (with pigment ink) and you could order paper from a supplier rather than buy it at an office supply. It is true that most ink jets cost more to operate than lasers.
