[Finale] Andrew
All -- Ernie wrote me today to tell me how Andrew is doing. He is in the hospital at U of Penn. They did an R heart cauterization, which I assume means a right-ventricle cath, and left the cath in to monitor his heart pressure. Ernie says he feels OK, but it is obvious that his condition is very serious. He may need a transplant. Even if you're not a praying kind of person it'd be nice if you could spare a second or two to think of our friend, and wish him the best. I'll let you know anything else Ernie tells me. -=-Dennis . ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

Re: [Finale] OT! CD/DVD burner question
That was the answer. I had to re-install Roxio Toast. Now the burner is behaving properly. Thanks! Adaptec Toast will burn to just about anything.

Re: [Finale] Recorder in Wizard of Oz
It's true that it's played on a piccolo in the traditional pit orchestras of today; I conducted it a few years ago and had my flutist put on her picclist hat for those moments. I don't argue that a soprano recorder should be used, but it may not carry if your orchestra is (as it should be) IN the pit, not backstage or wherever-else. Flutists who are not very verse on recorders would have a tendency to crack on the notes, as well. Luckily the tune is in F, and the dotted / triplet figure that is so famous doesn't contain any accidentals, so it lays easy on the instrument. - Original Message - From: Guy Hayden [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: finale@shsu.edu Sent: Monday, September 10, 2007 11:28 AM Subject: [Finale] Recorder in Wizard of Oz When I prepared this show a few years back I was fortunate to have a flute player who also played soprano recorder.

Agreed, although that's just another way of saying that doublers should not double on instruments they don't know how to play! Luckily the tune is in F, and the dotted / triplet figure that is so famous doesn't contain any accidentals, so it lays easy on the instrument. There are no difficult fingerings on recorder, only difficult fingering COMBINATIONS, but I certainly take your point. But the reason i brought it up as a notation problem in the first place is that it is notated an octave higher in the part than it would be in a correctly notated soprano recorder part, which means that the orchestrator (or the copyist) was ignorant of proper recorder notation. I could have put down my viola and played the part on recorder (and read it down an octave), but we had a good piccolist and it wasn't really worth the trouble. John -- John R.

[Finale] number repeated measures
MacFin 2008 Want to no. rep. measures in a drum part. Working with the part, select the bars, the plugin list is grayed out. If I go back to the score the bars are still selected and the plugin is operational. So it *can* be done . but with a lot of extra work. Score - part etc. This should be available when editing the part. Yes?? Any ideas? Stan Lord ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

So it *can* be done . but with a lot of extra work. Score - part etc. If you number the repeated measures in the score, the numbers should show up in the part as well. If you want to then hide the numbers in the score, you need to select the added numbers in the score, hold down the Ctrl key (Opt in Mac?), right-click and choose Hide. This will hide the numbers in the score but leave them visible in the part. This should be available when editing the part. Yes?? Depends on your definition of should. g Most of us feel that plugins like this should be available when working in parts, but Makemusic has deliberately disabled all of their plugins from working in part view. This is because certain plugins can, in fact, cause problems when run against a part. The measure number plugin is not one of them, but they've taken a blanket approach. You can also purchase Robert Patterson's excellent Finale plugin collection from http://robertgpatterson.com/-fininfo/finmain.html. It includes a measure number plugin which I think works better than the default Finale one, and you can run it against a part.

Well, when I was in junior high, a new donut shop opened in town that made them of potatos, and called them Spudnuts. So of course when I started an ocarina trio using newly available and unbreakable plastic ocarinas, we called ourselves the Spudnuts. (Maybe you had to be there! Hey, it was junior high!!!)
