Re: [Finale] HP Update for Finale 2007
I don't recall seeing any mention of it on this list, nor have I received any mention via e-mail from MakeMusic. How hard would it be for them to send out an e-mail to everybody who has upgraded to Fin2007? Thank you for letting us know about it -- I don't have those libraries so it won't help me, but it would be nice to be notified by the company about such things.

It provides support for Human Playback when using the following additional libraries with Finale 2007c: Garritan Jazz and Big Band, Gofriller Solo Cello, and Garritan Personal Orchestra (if using KONTAKT 2.2). It is not needed if you are using the Finale Edition of Garritan sounds that were included with Finale 2007. This update requires a registered installation of Finale 2007c.

[Finale] Text Blocks in the Right Place
I'm working with an organ score that needs to have many text boxes for instructions, etc. When I print out the score (no part extraction needed), I want the boxes to be exactly where they are in the score layout, not offset somewhere else; this has happened when I've used Text Blocks in the past. Is there a way to make this setting? I'm on Finale 2007 for PC ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

Is there a way to make this setting? I'm on Finale 2007 for PC Text boxes made with the Text Tool (looks like an A) will attach to measures in scroll view, and to the PAGE if you enter them in page view. In my opinion, there is no good reason to use the Text Tool for instructions, with one exception. The Text Tool should be renamed Title Tool, because that is what it does best. The Expression Tool (looks like an mf) has everything the Text Tool has, except centre justification of text (this is the one reason to use the Text Tool) and everything stays attached to measures or notes, depending on how you enter it. This way you can extract parts and change layout to your heart's content, and the instructions stay attached to the measure or note they were originally attached to.

If not, they will move with the associated measures when the score is respaced in any way. Unless I'm misunderstanding your question.

I actually dislike the expression tool because it has no page attachment. I use the text tool in any situation where the material isn't supposed to be anchored to a measure or other item. This way you can extract parts and change layout to >your heart's content, and the instructions stay attached to the >measure or note they were originally attached to. Finale's needed a template system for a long time, with at least a master page layer, a page-based layer, a movable line-based layer (now unfortunately measure-based), an object-based layer, and a user-definable layer. There is no reason that expressions, for example, should be attached to measures or notes. They should be able to be attached to anything (and should -- repeating this for the umpteenth time) *show* the ownership through some sort of rubber-band indicator. I also wish there were a doggone LOCK, where the program would be forbidden to move any item at all on a given page, even during layout updates. A point-to-point marquee selection, for example, that would put a light grey block over an area or page that was untouchable -- and keep it that way.

Thanks for letting us know about this, Darcy. I hope it will fix some playback problems I've been having with bass part playback using JABB. **Leigh On Thu, Jul 26, 2007, Darcy James Argue <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >For those of you not upgrading to Finale 2008, you may be interested >to know that last week, MM released an update for Human Playback in >Finale 2007.
