Re: [Finale] Chord symbol fonts
Thanks Eric. I'll try that. George - Original Message - From: Eric Dannewitz [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: finale@shsu.edu Sent: Friday, April 06, 2007 8:41 PM Subject: Re: [Finale] Chord symbol fonts Easy way to do this would be to save your Chords in a Library file, load them into your Jazz Font Default file. When you start a new project, you'll have all your custom chords in there. You can also use the library in existing documents. Load the old document, load the chords, go to the chord too, click some where, go to advanced, down where suffix is go to select, then start deleting the ones you want to replace, and Finale will prompt you to select a replacement, and you can select your new chord symbol there, and it will replace all symbols in the document with the new symbol. I did this a lot when I purchased Bill Duncan's Productivity package, and decided to use his excellent chords in place of the hodge podge assortment I was using.

What a procedure it is to solve something that you'd think would be right to begin with unless it's supposed to be that way and is up to me to change to what I want. Your method was successful for me. Am wondering if this will fix it with the program (finale) overall or just the one document that was edited. Anyway...Thanks again.

[Finale] when did this start happening?
In Finale 2007 I've only recently been opening up a number of older Finale files made in versions 2005 and 2006. One of the annoying things about the updated files is that they are missing the tool macros that were programmed into the previous file. My Maestro Font default file has the macros I want, so I don't understand why the file can't retain it's previous settings. Did this just start happening in Finale 2007 and is there a good reason for it, or is this another bug, I mean, technical issue? -Randolph Peters ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
[Finale] Re: Chord Symbol Fonts
I certainly agree with Chuck and Eric. I've been using Bill's chord font for several years now and simply couldn't work without it. If MM included Bill's chord font, it would be a huge improvement to what ships with Finale and be a nice legacy to Bill. An interesting side note to this is, after meeting and working with many commercial copyists in LA, Bill's Finale Productivity Manual could also have been called “The LA Style Music Copying with Finale”. In addition to being a “How to Manual”, it's filled with so many wonderful tips on commercial copying in general. I only hope Nick and Vince are successful in making Bill's work available to everyone once again.

I got asked last night about the rehearsal font on a chart I brought in. I was like umwellit's complicated, I'll let you know about the status. Which is what by the way? Nick and Vince arewhom? It would be absolutely great to see MakeMusic buy up Bill's stuff and include it in future versions of Finalebut perhaps that is a pipe dream. Chuck Israels wrote: Indeed, this has been a bugaboo for years, and only constant carping and complaining will get MM's attention. The available defense for advanced jazz chord symbol users is to spend time (a lot of time, unfortunately) creating the chord suffixes you like, saving them as a library and then loading them into new documents with empty chord libraries. I don't know the status of the Bill Duncan material, but those of us who were lucky enough to have bought his chord font are ahead of the game in this department. I hope that Nick and Vince are still pursuing Bill's sister for distribution access to the material. Until then, much as we'd like to make it generally available, there are legal and ethical obstacles to doing so. Of course, you still have to go through Finale's chord suffix editor to change anything you don't like in Bill's suffixes but, for me, the need to do that is rare.

I haven't noticed the problem with expression metatools. Is there some other metatool set that has the problem?

I know there are only 8 of them, but when you have to do it to hundreds of files... Unless I'm missing something, I don't think there is a way to transfer these tool macros from one file to another even in Patterson's plugins or TGTools.

I've had those keystrokes programmed for 12 years or more since I often work with other people's files. It works every time, Randolph - no need for 2 hrs of testing. D'uh! Sometimes a person is blind to the simplest things because of unexamined assumptions. I DO have QuicKeys macros for almost every tool (mirror tool? -- who really needs that?) EXCEPT for Control-F to ' because I reserved those for Finale. I think a long time ago, Finale macros were faster than any programmed QuicKey macro. John Blane is suggesting that I make Cntr-F to ' into macros using QuicKeys and forget about the Finale macros. The QuicKeys macros will override any Finale one programmed and will be present in any file opened. (He also reminded me in an offlist email that programming tools is so much easier when you have the Tools menu showing.) I can't believe I actually thought of making a QuicKey supermacro which would assign Finale tool macros to any Finale file. You know, start the Quickeys supermacro which would then control-option-click the screen and then assign Speedy tool to control-F, Mass Mover to control-G and so on. By the way, my supermacro would need a super key command, say something like capslock-shift-control-option-command-F16. It would need 3 hands to run it or 2 hands and a nose, which is a technique I've perfected through years of Speedy Tool usage. Thanks John and the list for those face-saving tips. -Randolph Peters ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
[Finale] Strange Linked Part Multimeasure Rest Behavior
Hello All, I'm using FinMac2007c under Mac OS X 10.4.9. I have a score with staves for Violin 1, Violin 2, Viola, Cello 1, and Cello 2. I did DocumentManage PartsGenerate Parts and I'm in the process of cleaning up the Linked Parts. Cello 2 starts playing in measure 1 and Violin 1 comes in at measure 9; the other instruments are still resting. For Violin 2, Viola and Cello 1 I can make the first 7 4/4 measures (m. 8 is a meter change) a multimeasure rest by using the Measure Tool, selecting the first 7 measures and choosing MeasureMultimeasure RestsCreate. If I use this procedure with the Violin 1 part, it leaves a whole rest in m. 1 and creates a 6-measure multimeasure rest. If I use MeasureMultimeasure RestsCreate For Parts/ScoreViolin 1, I get the same result. Any idea why? Any way to fix it? Thanks. **Leigh ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
Re: [Finale] Strange Linked Part Multimeasure Rest Behavior

Re(2): [Finale] Strange Linked Part Multimeasure Rest Behavior
Thanks for the suggestions. Clearing the measure did it. There must have been a real rest in that measure. I missed this in the manual: If a whole rest was entered in a measure, that measure will not be included in a multimeasure rest until you erase the whole rest (using the Simple Entry or Speedy Entry tools, or the Mass Edit Menu's Clear commands). What's the advantage of the of having the Staff Attribute Display Rests In Empty Measures and of having a real rest not be included in a multimeasure rest? **Leigh On Sun, Apr 8, 2007, shirling neueweise [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: do you have anything hidden in m1 of vlnI? have you defined a real whole rest? if there is really nothing, select with mass edit, clear and try again. ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

What's the advantage of the of having the Staff Attribute Display Rests In Empty Measures and of having a real rest not be included in a multimeasure rest? you can attach things to it such as expressions, articulations (fermati), and you can use it to force the MM rest to break, if you need it for some reason. -- shirling neueweise ... new music publishers mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] :.../ http://newmusicnotation.com ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
