Re: [Finale] Courtesy Accidentals
Will-do. And you're right about chromatic transposition. As I continued to work on the project, I noticed that the behavior that annoyed me only happened in transposed parts, like Horns and Trumpets, where I didn't want to simply rely on the key signature for the transposition-related "accidentals". Non-transposed parts behaved exactly as I wanted them to. Neal On May 14, 2012, at 11:24 PM, Christopher Smith wrote: > Sorry, no way to evade it that I know of.

Re: [Finale] MIDI to Audio tip
The only way I get something that sounds acceptable is to export a song out of Finale via Midi file and then use something like Digital Performer or Logic. I have spent way too much time trying to get Finale to generate my arrangements correctly (which it never really does) and it is 5 times faster to use a tool like Digital Performer to quickly fix the Midi from Finale. -- On Tuesday, May 15, 2012 at 3:28 PM, Raymond Horton wrote: > I get uneven results from "Export to Audio" on WinFin 2011 and GPO. > Sometimes fine, sometimes awful.

Re: [Finale] MIDI to Audio tip
I get uneven results from "Export to Audio" on WinFin 2011 and GPO. Sometimes fine, sometimes awful. I usually try it first, because it is faster than real time - then if it is less than successful I record real time to Audacity.

Re: [Finale] MIDI to Audio tip
Sometimes it has seemed to me that the quality of the audio file under the Export Audio feature is not as good as if I use something like Wiretap to capture it as it plays live. Is that even technically possible, i.e. am I imagining that there's a difference?

[Finale] MIDIDesign Microtona --> Tempera (MacSymbolFonts.txt)
after jari's fix for my custom fonts, i edited my MacSymbolFonts.txt file and would point out to anyone using the MIDIDesign fonts, Microtona was replaced by Tempera so the default MacSymbolFonts.txt file should be updated. Tempera "remplace Microtona qui comportait des erreurs de conception."

Re: [Finale] 256 FAN slots vs 270 symbol slots... Unicode?
ok thanks, that was helpful. does anyone know what these fonts are? Final FiguredBass FinalFiguredBass Leonardo II LeonardoII >I think the symbol selection dialog in Fin2012 goes up to the last >found Unicode character slot, if the range extends beyond character >255. ... If you don't put the font name there, Finale believes that >your font is a text font and tries to convert the "umlauts" in the >128-255 range to the Unicode character mapping this makes sense, my font doesn't go beyond the 256 range but does use extended characters, and most of the font was correctly mapped (a A 123 () etc.) in the erroneous 270-character selection palette (before i added the font to the text file). >Don't use more than the 256 slots in your music notation fonts >But for backward compatibility it's perhaps better to keep 256 slots >in music notation fonts for a while? right now i don't see any need for more than 256. in fact long ago i separate symbols into various fonts (articulations, notes/rests, shapes, percussion, objects) with room for the fonts to grow, i can add characters and still have them in a sensible spot, rather than just stuffing them in the next random available slot. ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
