Re: [Finale] Clef problem
Fake it. Rewrite the notes in an extra layer in the treble clef so they look as they would in bass clef. Of course it won't play back correctly, but it's easy enough to get it looking right on the page Michael Long-time lurker here. I have some piano music which has an octave in the bass which is tied over several bars and held with pedal. Easy enough - however, during these bars the bass clef is changed to the treble and the left- and right- hands play around a bit until the left-hand returns to the bass clef - the tied octaves are just repeated every bar underneath. I can't work out how to change the clef without the held notes plummeting down as if they were in the treble clef. All suggestions gladly received.

Does playback matter? If not, simply transpose those notes which are too low when it switches to treble clef so that they remain on the same line/space as when in bass clef. Visually it's easy to do. To incorporate proper playback, I think you might need to add another staff (which you will eventually optimize): (in page view) 1) add new staff, set clef to bass clef, set it not to show clef, key signature, time signature 2) enter the proper notes for the sustained octave Ds 3) on those measures where there is a problem, drag that staff up so that it overlays the current left-hand staff exactly. Do this in a larger view percentage. 4) optimize the score so that the new staff will disappear on all systems except the one(s) where the octave Ds are required. Actually, you could put the "wrong" note that shows in its own layer which you mute, and add the "right" note in a hidden layer that plays back, so you wouldn't need extra staves in this particular case. But your solution is very creative! Christopher ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
RE: [Finale] Clef problem
Many more sophisticated folks on this list than me, but just in case, would it possibly be appropriate to simply have both hands in two parts in the treble clef for a few bars? Left hand part stems down, right hand up. You see that sort of thing all the time, but maybe you are implying something more involved than I can picture.

Yes, FN08 was instaled under Tiger and also after an upgrade to Leopard. If you care to, Go to /System/Library/Extensions/ and highlight MOTUPCIAudio.kext the version on my PPC is 1.2.2. I'd be interested to see that yours is the same. Dick H On Dec 17, 2008, at 10:34 AM, Mark McCarron wrote: I'm using whatever drivers came with the 2408mkIII. I use DP6.
