A weblog is a log.  Of course, blogs can be used for pretty much 
anything, but most fundamentally it is like a diary.  If I'm reading, 
say, the log of the Lewis & Clark expedition, I don't want to read the 
newest items first; I want to read it in order.  Likewise if I'm 
reading someone's journal I want to read it in order.  You mention also 
mention news.  If I subscribe to a newsletter and I've fallen behind in 
reading it, when I sit down to catch up, I want to read the issues in 
order, not newest first.

Surely it wouldn't be so difficult for the software to have a feature 
so that after each item there's a little bookmark link.  When you get 
to the bottom of the page you click it to "mark your place", and then 
next time you visit you go back to where you left off, no matter how 
much has been added below.


I can make WordPress list things backwards. I'm guessing that most 
software you administer yourself allows it, although probably not 
canned things like Blogger.


I use Radio.  It's pretty powerful, so I assume there's a way to do it. 
 I dug around a bit looking for a piece of code I could use to arrange 
first-to-last, but I couldn't find anything.

[Finale] Finale 2007a Crashes on Mac

2006-12-15 Thread Eric Dannewitz

Has anyone noticed that Finale 2007a seems to crash when importing Midi 
files?


I just finished something in the sequencer, and went to import it into 
Finale and...crash..

Re: [Finale] Finale 2007a Mac is out

2006-12-15 Thread Chuck Israels


Dear Andrew,

I created a correct (centered at the apex of the cross point) stem  
connection for the x note head in Bill Duncan's (and yes, we will  
miss him) Salzedo font and adjusted the positioning of the connection  
to the Salzedo font half note percussion shape, and everything worked  
as it is supposed to for me (on a Mac G5 running OS 10.4).  So my  
only conclusion is that the ReadMe is mistaken.  I should have tried  
it first, but I was so pissed off when I read it that I fired off a  
missive to MM's tech support, only to have to retract it.  However,  
the silly loss of font selections when importing Document Options  
libraries on a Mac is still there.  That's just an annoyance, not a  
work stopper/deal breaker for me, but I am certainly irritated that  
it remains broken after all this time.

If the ReadMe is correct, I would consider this a deal-breaker. I  
purchased 2K7 a while back but have not installed it because it is  
so buggy. If even 2K7a will not let me, for example, create a  
correct stem connection for an X-shaped notehead, then the program  
is useless for me and I will have to continue to rely on 2K4-- 
itself no prize.

Re: [Finale] Garritan in a student lab/Kontakt2

First of all, I've seen Kontakt 2 discussed on the list -- but right
now, all we have is 1.1.8,3, correct? This is the last update to the
player that we've been able to get from the Native Instruments site,
and it is pretty old.

If your lab is going to use Intel macs, then you want Kontakt player 2
that is universal binary. Using Kontakt player under Rosetta (IE:
emulation) is terrible. It stutters and is basically not worth trying in
my opinion. If the Macs are G5s or anything non-Intel, then it's not an
issue. The Kontakt player will work fine.
Second question: when I taught this two years ago (and GPO was fairly
new), I had a lot of trouble installing GPO under a multiple user
environment in the Mac lab. It simply was not possible to have
students on a single computer with multiple accounts get access to
GPO. We will use it both with Finale and with MOTU Digital
Performer. Last time I tried to get this to work, in order for the
students to be able to use GPO, we had to give them administrative
logins! We tried everything, but this was the only way.

Hmmm. Searching NI's Forums I get this:
http://www.native-instruments.com/index.php?id=2203&action=view&uid=57271&startrow=30&filter=SP_Product_group%7Csearch%7Csearchtype%7E%7CKontakt%7C1

Your NI software authorization key can be used by any user on a Mac,
assumed they are all users on the same computer.

In order to port the authorization from the admin user, who installed
the software and registered it, to another user under the same system:

copy (do not move!) the Finale GPO Kontakt player.plist file from

Macintosh HD /users//library/preferences

into

Macintosh HD/users//Public/Dropbox

then login under the other user. the other "new" user must copy the file
from the drop box to his user preferences folder:

Macintosh HD /users//library/preferences

After this you should be able to use the software.

Please note that the file permission for the copied .plist file may not
yet be correct. You will have to change these manually via the Finder's
GET INFO (apple-I) window.
