Re: [Finale] alto as tenor? now Brandenburg 2

[Johannes Gebauer]

Not knowing anything about the trumpet, the horn and Brandenburg 2, here 
is one more thing perhaps worth considering:


There is an instrument now referred to as the baroque clarinet. It is 
not the chalumaux, and sounds quite different. It plays in a pretty high 
register. This is the reason it is called clarinet, ie a small clarino, 
because the sound is almost trumpet like. Is there any indication that 
perhaps this might have been the instrument Bach thought of?


Probably completely off-track I am sure, just something which crossed my 
mind reading all these discussions on the too high trumpet part.

This is all true, though slightly incomplete. First, please note that 
DOCX is merely the default for Word 07, not the only format it can 
save in. You can change this default so that Word saves all its 
documents in DOC format. (The same thing happened, I believe, when 
Word 97 came out and was incompatible with Word 95.)


Second, your comment about equations and special symbols probably 
doesn't affect all that many people, as a proportion of Word users. 
(Although it's interesting in light of our frequent discussions here 
about backwards compatibility in Finale.)


Third, users of older Office versions on Windows can download a 
compatibility pack from Microsoft which will let them work with the 
new file version. That pack is available here:


http://sherber.com/url/18?office-pack

Finally, as the article you link to notes, there are third-party 
converters that will run on Mac, and I imagine they will do a good 
job converting non-complex Word documents.

[Finale] Beaming over rests

[ThomaStudios]

Using FinMac 2K7, is there a way to have Finale beam over rests, NOT  
globally, but on a case by case basis.  This has been lacking in  
every version, and I've just accepted that.  Now a client want's a  
specific look and I don't see any options via the Document Options,  
Staff Styles, or even plug-ins, including Robert's.


Any suggestions?

Re: [Finale] FinMac2008 hangs

Firewire audio, but okay, I see your point.

It's very strange, though. I've noticed that sometimes it just hangs  
indefinitely, and sometimes the hang prefigures a crash. But it is  
100% reproducible on my machine -- when waking from deep sleep,  
Finale 2008 looks fine at first, until you try to do something with  
the currently open file. Then it will reliably hang and/or crash on  
the first action.


I'll try it sometime without the peripherals, but that's not exactly  
a solution, since my FW Audiophile is also my MIDI interface.

Actually what David said makes sense.  Are you not using USB audio
interface?  The new version of Kontakt2 Player might not pinging as CA
spec dictate.  We already know it doesn't follow CA mono stream spec,
and this is new to Fin2008.

Since my main work is digital audio, I never let any of my machines

If you can reproduce the problem without any peripheral attached, you
have a different case.

Unless I misunderstand your request, you can beam over rests by placing 
the Speedy cursor on the rest(s) and hitting "/" exactly as you would 
with notes.


If you want a partial extension over some rests, you can use the beam 
extension special tool.

There are too many variables.  My Metric Halo FW interfaces will
reconnect to CAServ in any event because its driver is written
efficiently, but this doesn't mean all the host apps can reconnect to
CAServ API after disconnect.  You have MIDI added to this.

Studios don't let CPU sleep so you can sleep better :-)

By the way, have you tried Cmd+Opt+S in Activity Monitor when SWOD?

Hmm, this is a kludge, I'm afraid.

I have accomplished this in the past by entering a REAL note close to  
the beam where I wanted the rest, then changing the notehead to a  
blank character, changing the beam angle with Special Tools so that  
the missing notehead looks like it was a stem stub, and adding the  
rest back in another layer, hiding with "O" in Speedy the ones I  
don't need.


Big pain, I know.

But the good news is that you can copy this to other places where you  
have a similar rhythm, then change pitches.

First off, Office 2007 is not just for Vista -- it also runs on WinXP 
(though no earlier versions of Windows). And there is an easily 
downloadable converter for reading and writing the new .docx files in 
older versions of Word (well, Office 2000, XP and 2003 -- Office 97 
users are out of luck, but, well, Office 97 was released in 1996!). 
It's called the Compatibility Pack and can be downloaded here (all on 
one line):

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=941B3470-
3AE9-4AEE-8F43-C6BB74CD1466&displaylang=en

I'm shocked that people are so ill-informed that they'd just reject 
these file formats when the converters are so easily available for so 
many different versions of Word.

Well, Breitkopf's system developed in the mid-18th century was an 
effort to make a typesetting system that looked better and was 
cheaper than engraving. I don't know that I agree that it looks very 
good -- it's certainly inferior in comparison to the finest 
engraving, but not that much worse than some of the hack-work 
engraving that is seen in the late 18th century, especially in 
Vienna. Paris, on the other hand (and to a lesser extent, London), 
seemed to maintain higher engraving standards as a rule than the 
German engravers. I don't know why.

But type for music printing didn't die out until some time after 
1800.

I know.  But if you can get it to extend an internal 16th beam stub,  
let me know how.  You can ONLY extend the beginning and end of a beam  
set.  Try this:  notate 8th note, 16th rest, 16th note, and try to

The official MS Mac converter seems to be lagging behind the Windows 
converter. But you can get a beta converter from MS here:


http://sherber.com/url/19?mac-docx

Also, as the original article which was linked to points out, there 
are third party solutions available as well.

Some minor Googling turned up:

http://blogs.msdn.com/macmojo/archive/2007/05/15/get-converted.aspx

http://www.tuaw.com/2007/05/15/microsoft-releases-word-2007-docx-file-

It does appear, however, that this beta expired on Aug. 15th, and 
it's not clear what's going on. I expect the Mac converter to be 
ready along with Office 2008, which is expected to be released at the 
beginning of next year.

If you need it, I'd complain to MS. It really ought to already be 
available for Mac, given that the current Windows version of Word 
uses the new format by default.

It's really quite annoying how Microsoft managed to hide that -- I 
used the search tools on the Mac Office website, and for the main 
Knowledge Base and for the whole MS website, and for that blog, and 
none of them turned up this new beta.

[Finale] Finale GPO

[Bruce Petherick]

Hello all,
Ok. This has been frustrating me for weeks now, and I decided to try 
and get to the bottom of it. I have Finale 2007b (Win) and every time I 
boot the program I get a message telling me that my trial period is 
finished and I need to register using the app in application folder. The 
title bar for this dialog box is "Finale GPO".
I have searched the Makemusic site, and the only answer I can find is to 
download a new Kontakt player that doesn't need this registration (It is 
originally for 2006). I have downloaded same, but to no effect.
The complicating fact is that I own GPO (Full), Big Band (Full) _and_ 
the Strad package. I can't get these to work well together at all with 
the Kontakt 2.0 update, but that may be a problem for later.
What I want is to get my Finale GPO sounds back (Finale is used for 
scoring, Nuendo is for making with the pretty sounds!).

Has anyone had a similar problem, or can hint at a solution?

Thanks very much

Bruce Petherick

I find this hard to believe, although I can't say you're wrong.  The 
operative characteristic of 16th and 17th century music from movable 
type is that each piece of type has not only the musical character 
but the 5 staff lines on it, so as you look across the page the staff 
lines are a little bit wavy rather than being absolutely straight. 
(Not true of Petrucci's earlier publications, which used a 
triple-impression method.)  Are you referring to some different 
approach or modification of this technology?  I've certainly never 
seen a Novello publication with those wavy staff lines.

[Finale] Multimeasure rest breaks

[Jeff Tanner]

Hey everyone

I've got a part in the score that has 4 measures of rest, two are  
before a System Expression rehearsal mark, 2 measures after the  
rehearsal mark.  Finale was converting it into a 4 bar multimeasure  
rest, so I used the measure tool to put in a break in the  
multimeasure rest.  Now though, it makes it a multimeasure rest for 2  
bars, Rehearsal mark, then 2 bars of whole rests.  I've tried  
selecting the two bars and doing the "multimeasure, create" popup  
with the selection tool, updating the layout, and extracting the part  
but nothing makes a difference.  Any suggestions on this?  (Finale  
2008)  Thanks.

Try Mass Edit>Clear Items on the mm. in question, then create the 
multimeasure rest.  I had the same problem last week.

[Finale] temporarily unsubscribing

[Andrew Stiller]

Hi, My husband, Andrew Stiller, is in the Hospital of the University of 
Pennsylvania again with heart trouble.  So many hospitalizations this 
year that I can't quite remember, 3 or 4.  He  wants me to temporarily 
suspend his Finale E mail.  I thought I remembered his password, but it 
seems I do not.  Please temporarily suspend his participation in the 
list until he returns home.

I presume you are referring to what is known in English as a Mock Trumpet,
which was not treated as a serious musical instrument.  It would be like a
chalumeau that could only overblow and therefore an instrument in F
(derived from a treble recorder) would produce the scale part of the
harmonic series of a trumpet in C (still not high enough to play in F a
fourth up).  This, however, misses the point I was making, which is that
the countepoint of Bach demands the line sound an octave lower.
