[Finale] Ties unequal pitches together?
Well first of all, if the two pitches are not the same, it's a SLUR, not a tie. But I've noticed that when you change the pitch of a note that IS tied, it breaks the tie - and then does not put the correct accidental on the other note. When it plays the music back it gives you two pitches, but does NOT show the correct pitches on the staff. In other words, the played pitches are not consistent with what is on the staff. When you change the pitch of a tied note, it should change the pitches of ALL notes tied to it, automatically. I'm kind of surprised that their programmers won't FIX something that's so obvious. But maybe it's because they never took any music courses? ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
Re: [Finale] Ties unequal pitches together?
Well first of all, if the two pitches are not the same, it's a SLUR, not a tie. it would be a tie if the pitch change was to account for a key change and the sounding note was the "same" but notated differently for the context. When you change the pitch of a tied note, it should change the pitches of ALL notes tied to it, automatically. I'm kind of surprised that their programmers won't FIX something that's so obvious. But maybe it's because they never took any music courses? maybe it's because it ain't broken. you can use the selection tool to change the pitch of a range of notes (tied or not) in several ways. plugin change pitch to x, use numpad 6/7/8/9 to transpose diatonically second / octave or use the transposition context menu item for many more options. your proposal is an interesting one, i just don't think the tool is broken like you suggest. you would rather see it function differently. fair enough... but it ain't broked, dude. ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
Re(2): [Finale] bartók pizz. : line up vs. down
Gardner Read, Music Notation, p. 272: "Another symbol is x invented by Stockhausen, inveterate fabricator of notational devices. This sign is a slight modification of (circle-line up) or (circle-line down) created by Béla Bartók for the "snap" pizzicato in string instruments . . .

[Finale] names in the parts
Greetings, In earlier versions of Finale it was easy to tell Finale to print the part name on each extracted partI have not been as successful with my latest version of Finale (2K7 Mac). I can get what I need, but I have to do each part manually. Surely there is a better way. What am I missing? When I go to edit my parts, I see the part namesincluding an abbreviated name at the beginning of every line. All I want is the following: Part name printed in fullon every page of each part. Suggestions? Larry ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
