I don't understand what you are saying. No doubt he either had a violin made or one changed around (which requires opening it). You are not implying that he used a normal strung instrument? That I am absolutely certain was not what he did. Kolisch is not the only one who played the other round. Reinhard Goebel tried this for years, there is also quite a famous viola player, Kussmaul (not the violinist, but his brother) who plays the other way round. He even led the violas in the WDR orchestra for some time, it must have looked very strange but they somehow manager. I would say that if he could play the Schoenberg concerto back-handed, then he could play anything thus. I am left handed, so I guess it is the same for me. (I never played the Schoenberg, I admit, but I got as far as Alban Berg...). There are advantages and disadvantages. The really amazing thing about Kolisch was that he changed around in his teens.

Re: [Finale] 2007b is out
I'm not sure, but I think that hyphens in 2006a work as they do in 2004. In 2006b a new bug appeared, that produced two undesirable effects: 1. When syllables got closer than a certain amount, the hyphens were too far to the right. 2. Hyphens no longer disappeared when the syllables were moved very close together. This bug is still present in 2007 (original version). MakeMusic tried to correct the bug in 2007a, but the cure was worse than the illness: as you noticed, hyphens now disappear when they shouldn't, and if there is a hyphen at the end of a system, it's too near to the syllable it follows. If you don't need very tight lyric spacing, 2007 (original version) should produce acceptable results.

Could you tell me the "improvements" I could expect from 2006a over 2007 regarding hyphens (I downgraded directly from 2004 to 2007, so I don't know how 2006 behaves)?

Finale is certainly not the only application that has such bugs or reversions in supposed patches. Indeed, I would disagree with Eric's advice, and say that one should *never* update an application *unless* one knows that the update explicitly addresses a problem that you know you have had. Otherwise, it ain't broke for you, so there's no reason to fix it. > I'd now say it's never good to update Finale before it has been > beta-tested by some of the knowledgeable list-members. This is the case with any application, seems to me.

On 18.01.2007 David W. Fenton wrote: Yes, indeed, and not uniformly along the string length. When a viol's strings get to the point that you have to be moving the higher frets down the fingerboard to play in tune, you know it's time to replace your strings. And, of course, the wrapped strings change a rate different from the unwrapped, and the thicker gut strings change at a rate different from the thin ones. The maximal point of conflict on the gamba is between the two middle strings, C and E, where the C is the thinnest of the wrapped strings and the E is the thickest of the unwrapped. Things very quickly become problematic there. And replacing all your strings on a viol is 50% more expensive than for a violin! :) Sure, but they last longer. An E string only lasts a few days, less in summer. But I have a trick for the tuning problems with older strings. If your strings get older, put a little piece of match (I use a piece of an old string) under them right at the nut, to make the open string length shorter. You can compensate for quite a lot using this method. You can even adjust as the stzring gets worseEspecially with the expensive D catline string (please don't start a discussion on whether they are historical or not, I know about these problems) I can use a lot longer without going mad on intonation problems, even when playing unaccompanied Bach.

Not that that makes it right, just that bugs are a fact of life in software applications. When they get too many or too overwhelming for people to continue to do the work they need to get done, they change to another application. With MusicXML, switching between Finale files and Sibelius is getting very good, so the good folks at MM had better sit up and take better notice of user grumblings. And Sibelius now has their own flavor of GPO so Finale has nothing at all in the way of major features to keep its loyal user base.

Re: Re(8): [Finale] EPS export - Mac OS X 10.4 - Fin07
LOL! I love this. You have found some of the fonts that do work. To be even MORE specific... The problem fonts are Adobe Postscript Type 1 fonts (not OpenType Poscript fonts because OT works). Basically if you had purchased Adobe Fontfolio 8 or purchased newer than ~1993 postcript versions of Times, Palatino, and Helvetica fonts, they will not work work. The version of Times you used below "BITimesBoldItalic" is a much older version of Times. The version of Times that comes with Fontfolio 8 is from 1997 not 1990. Did you grab these from your MAC SE :-) The Helvetica is obviously not an Adobe font so sometimes those work and sometimes they do not. Isn't this fun ;-) OSX fonts and Finale are a real PINA.

Surely he had the strings reversed. Actually, I am certain that was the case. The why was an injury in his teens. He was not left handed, but in effect he had the same advantages or disadvantages as a left handed player playing the normal way.

On 07-01-18, at 23:30, Fiskum, Steve wrote: Hello Éric, Let me stray from the EPS subject a bit... I was in your boat for a long time. We were going to keep PageMaker running as long as we could and stick with OS9 files and keep our files in versions 3.5.2 thru 2003 until we came to the conclusion that this was not a viable solution. Yes, it is a band-aid but if I were you, I would not count on MakeMusic prioritizing YOUR upgrade paths for your older files. There priority has never been the upgrading of files...it has always been adding new features with little regard to how files update. For instance, if you open a 3.5.2 file in 2007 you will lose ALL text blocks. If you open the same file in 2006 those text blocks will be there. How long will it be before you will have to re- engrave all of your files because the structure of the program does not allow you to update these older files? The finale files are not the problem, because once the eps are embedded into the pagemaker doc we do not need them anymore, except for occasional correction of mistakes. You mentioned the EPS issues of letters with accents on them not printing out correctly. When I have mentioned issues like these to people at MakeMusic I have said, "It's great to have all of these new features but if I cannot output it correctly what good is the program?" They all seem to agree but nothing ever gets addressed. How in the world can a music notation company release a product that doesn't print EVERYTHING on the screen!!? I just don't understand how they can think this is OK and not fix it immediately? I believe that the folks at MakeMusic simply cannot see the big picture anymore. The are in their things and don't see the most important. It may be a very important factor if the wind turns and that the consensus in the publishing world be that Sibelius is THE choice publishers want. I really woke up in regards to the issue of postscript and Open Type when I started to see Adobe (who created postscript) try to snuff out the EPS format in there apps and will probably continue to do so. If you go on the Adobe forums you can see the many discussions on this subject. This really makes me wonder what Finale is going to do for those of us who create unique page sizes for many different files because they are going to be laid-out in a book or being customized for electronically distributed products. Currently I extract them out as EPS files and they are created into PDFs. I cannot image having to go into Page Setup and creating a large number of custom page sizes before going directly to PDF. This is an issue that needs to be on MakeMusic's radar for the future. There is a real dilemma we all face with the inadequate focus of MakeMusic's development of their software. They do not focus enough on the CORE of the program...they focus too much on the FLUFF. Yes, maybe the FLUFF sells but you can only ride that wave for so long. Eventually your main user base of publishers will decide that they can no longer rely on Finale and have to jump ship to another problematic piece of software (but different) and cross their fingers that this one will listen to the publishers (just like what happened when Finale first came out and everyone was using SCORE). Once they jump ship, they will force their composers and arrangers to use this OTHER piece of software for submissions (which is currently happening in some circles). The only thing that seems to be saving Finale in this area is XML but it's hard to determine how long that will last since they have not rewritten the plug-in documentation since FIN2003 (I think) and that ETFs are no longer an option. When will Sib. stop allowing XML output? This past year I upgraded thousands of octavo and hymnal files to FIN2006 with very little headache. I still had to send it through a proofing process but it was minimal. Using QuicKeys to do most of the work overnight I could come in the next day and all of the files would be ready for tweaking or printing. One of the keys to upgrading these files, which range from 3.5.2 to 2003, was to NEVER update layout. Once you do, you will have a lot of work ahead of you. If you are just upgrading files to keep them in a current OS, change some copyrights, or to just put them in an updated version of the software, then this situation works well. From what I have read and heard, upgrading to InDesign will make a lot of formatting in the text be lost. Then if we have to redo the page layout of all books containing text, proofing them to be sure that no typos or formating errors are stills there, then the cost for upgrading is simply too high. We are a small publisher with a big catalogue, and I don't believe we could afford to have one person working full-time for more than a year to make the transition. We'll have to move on some d

Yes. I have seen this band-aid work but personally I don't trust it because you never know when these older fonts just wont work any longer in the OS or with Finale.

You should not really need to invest a whole lot of extra time into this change.

Re: [Finale] irregular rythm
Another way is to actually change the measure to 6/4, and choose a different time sig for display. Choose the Time Signature tool. Click on the first radio button under Measure Region to specify the measures you want to change to 6/4. Click on Options >> Click on Use a Different Time Signature for display using the bars in the *top half* of the dialog box, change the time signature to 6/4. Click OK. This is on WinFin 2k7, but should be the same on other versions. I see this a lot in Hymn music for some reason (I guess time sigs are distracting to singers???) but as an instrumentalist it throws me off not to have the time sig change indicated, even if for just one measure.
