Re: [Finale] copying from existing file to make condensed scores
Hi David and Don, I thought of both of your suggestions while I was enduring this problem, as in, copying the full score file and taking out what I needed. I do my condensed score (although I despise them) with the solo line, saxs, trumpets, trombones, and rhythm, equaling a 5-staff system, with two systems on each page. Anyhow, what seemed to be making it catch was the human playback, so I just turned that off, then it worked fine. I don't mind if the HP doesn't work on a condensed score; I DO want it to work on full scores, and of course that already does -- so now I know what to do for the future. DAVID: I've inserted the signature on both scores and at the bottom of all parts...its being put to good use, and it will always be! Thanks again! -- From: "dhbailey" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, July 09, 2008 5:20 AM To: Subject: Re: [Finale] copying from existing file to make condensed scores Don Hart wrote: Hi Patrick, I'm not sure what all needs to be done for your condensed score. Seems it might help if you tried doing a 'save as' of the complete score and move/combine things as needed for your new file. At least the solo would be in place, and if the full score plays back, chances are this new file should as well. I agree that using a copy of the score and then editing the copy would be the best for a condensed score. Of course, there are different sorts of condensations, so it may or may not be possible to do what Patrick wants using the built-in tools. If Patrick is looking for a condensed score where there is the solo line, then all the saxes on one staff, all the trumpets on a second staff, all the trombones on another, then using the built-in tools would work fine to end up with a condensed score. If on the other hand he wants to end up with a piano/solo score, I think that would have to be done by hand, but it could still be done using a copy of the existing score, maintaining playable as the work went along. -- David H.

Re: [Finale] Finale 2009 Announced
I saw Tom Carruth demo '09 on Tuesday. He said there were things they still needed to fix with linked parts. Duh. I told him that linked parts weren't useful for most composers and he countered with how useful they were for those using Smart Music. Clearly, that's where the main thrust of features/upgrades/fixes will be generated because it is what is making money for them now. I can't argue with their business model, but it is frustrating for the professional user. Still, the new expression tool looks absolutely wonderful. Make one global setting per category and everything you drag into the category takes on those settings. Rehearsal numbers, tempo markings, whatever. It looks like they're going to that model for several tools (expressions, for example) and that someday (2011?) we may use only a couple of different dialog boxes. For those who prefer to use samples as their sounds, the new Aria engine in place of the Kontakt 2 player should offer better stability with Leopard and it will allow almost any sample to be used with Finale. To me, all of the options sound too far from reality to be useful, so I stick with the fast, generic softsyth. Because it is so bad, it always makes me imagine the real sound. I asked about Speedy Entry. Tom said that they will not do away with it until it can be folded into Simple Entry with exactly the same behavior as it currently has. The main difference for some of us composers is that Simple works as Duration then Pitch and Speedy works as Pitch then Duration. I think in Pitch then Duration, so the switch to working in Simple has been impossible for me, even though there are other great benefits. In my book, the expression tool alone is worth the upgrade. -Carolyn Bremer Associate Chair, Cole Conservatory of Music Area Director, Composition and Theory California State University, Long Beach On Thu, Jul 10, 2008 at 9:52 AM, Randolph Peters <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Patrick Sheehan queried: >> >> Anyone see any features worth working with in '09? > > Even though I see important functions that don't seem to be addressed > (fixing and improving linked parts, for example), this upgrade doesn't seem > to have too much added fluff.

Larry, User/Library/Preferences - scroll down to your Finale Preferences, move it to the trash and restart Finale. When you have rebuilt your preferences (takes a little fussing), save time the next time by navigating back to where the preferences are kept and make a copy of the preference file (Command - D). You can leave that copy of the file in place in the preferences folder and simply re-name it (removing the "copy" designation), if you have to trash your preferences again. Works like a charm.
