[Finale] R.I.P George Russell

Re: [Finale] R.I.P George Russell
I met George at a famous Third Stream concert at Brandies in June of 1957 and worked with his sextet in New York and on tour in 1960 after a couple of weeks of rehearsals at the Lenox School of Jazz. Who knew then that those would turn out to have been the good old days. Sorry to hear of his passing.

[Finale] jazz articulations
I need help with choosing two articulations (this is using the Jazz font) for a trumpet solo transcription. The first is a slight bend down. I don't want it to look like a fall off. I chose symbol #71, but I'm not sure if that's the best choice. The second is a quick bend down and back up on a quarter note. I'm guessing that is what symbol #38 is for. But not quite sure where to place the articulation. If I place it after the note, it looks too much like a tie. So I'm thinking maybe it should be placed centered directly over the notehead. Sorry, I know these are more notation questions than Finale questions. :-) ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

[Finale] staff list doesn't work
This happens all the time, and I could never figure out what is wrong. I have a score for 4 instruments: cavaquinho, guitar, bass and piano, in that order. I want the S (segno) and coda signs to appear only at the top instrument and top piano staff, in the score, and in all parts. So I mark, in the staff list: Cavaquinho and top piano staff under score; and all but the lower piano staff under parts. I get an unexpected result. The signs appear on every staff of the score. Am I forgeting something?

[Finale] Separating layers for printing
How do you guys deal with printing parts that are in layers e.g. Horn 1 and 2 are on the same stave in the score, Horn 1 in layer 1 and Horn 2 in layer 2, but I want separate parts for each. I understand the use of show current layer only in actually separating them for printing, but the problem comes with naming the part. It still says Horn 1 and 2 and I want it to just say Horn 1. If one renames it on the part the whole damned score becomes Horn 1. Is there a plug-in for this that I'm missing somewhere?

Hide the actual part name on the part and put a text block which you can edit to show the correct part name for whether it's Horn 1 or Horn 2. Then be sure to set things so that the text block is hidden in the score. -- David H.

Apply voicing rules to your linked parts. There's an excellent section in the Finale documentation that covers how to do this in detail.

Re: [Finale] Separating layers for printing
Dear Darcy I think, after an amazing amount of fruitless searching, that I've found the passage you're pointing me to. It comes under the heading, Voicing for Staff in Part, not easy to find when you think that your searching for something along the lines of...dividing/separating voices into two staves. The only problem is that it seems to have been written in some strange language :) Anyway, I can't seem to understand what they're trying to get me to do, here's the passage that has me stumped To divide a multi-part score staff into two or more parts, first add the staff to different parts. Once the multi-part staff appears in two (or more) parts, use this dialog box to specify which notes to show for each part. What does it mean when it says, add the staff to different parts. What different parts? I don't mean to be facetious but they don't make this easy. Mike G. www.mikegreensill.com ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

[Finale] Possible to scan Real Book to transpose chart to new key?
Hello all, I've been quietly paying maintenance fees on Finale for years, without having found the time to get over the learning curve. One of these days Is it possible to use Finale to scan a chart out of the Real Book, then generate a new chart in a different key? I'd expect to do some touch-up of the scanned chart, so not expecting it to be perfect. And I'm guessing the different fonts used in the different fake books would contribute to the scanning success. I suppose I could just learn Finale (finally) and re-enter the chart by hand, then transpose, but I was looking for an easy way out. The singer in our group is asking for other keys on Standards. And by the way, is there a way to search the archive for this list? ThanksLyle ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

Re: [Finale] Separating layers for printing
Mike, In re your question How do you guys deal with printing parts that are in layers e.g. Horn 1 and 2 are on the same stave in the score, Horn 1 in layer 1 and Horn 2 in layer 2, but I want separate parts for each. I understand the use of show current layer only in actually separating them for printing, but the problem comes with naming the part. It still says Horn 1 and 2 and I want it to just say Horn 1. If one renames it on the part the whole damned score becomes Horn 1. What I'd do is select show active layer, and rename the part the way I wanted it (Horn 1), print the part, change the name to the name for the other part (Horn 2), and change the active layer and print the other part, and then, depending upon whether there were other changes I wanted to save or not, I'd either revert the name changes, or close the score without saving the file. ns ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
Re: [Finale] Separating layers for printing
close the score without saving the file. That's a very interesting approach. I like it, sort of sneaky. So many ways in Finale. Mike G. www.mikegreensill.com ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

There's an iPhone app (about $8) that has the real book chord changes (no melodies), and it transposes them automatically. Just information for any who might find this useful.

Re: [Finale] staff list doesn't work
Strange: I don't know what's causing this. My S and Coda signs only appear on the staves I've defined in the staff list. A handle shows up on each staff, but only the handles on the chosen staves have a sign attached to them. Stupid things to check: 1: In the Text Repeat Assignment dialog, is the sign set to use the correct staff list? 2: Is the staff list correctly defined? There should be an X (for show) or an F (for force, to force the sign to appear even on staves which have been set not to show text repeats) by the staves where the sign should appear, and nothing at all by the staves where it should not appear. I can't think of anything else for the moment. Michael On 28 Jul 2009, at 19:13, Haroldo Mauro Jr. wrote: This happens all the time, and I could never figure out what is wrong.
