Re: [Finale] Courtesy Accidentals
Hmm… I tried what you said, both in a transposed part and a non-transposed part. In each case, when I went back in and changed the first F to F#, the accidental on the F# disappeared.

Re: [Finale] Courtesy Accidentals
Thanks for the update. That doesn't exactly fix the problem though. What if you go F, then F# later in the measure, and Auto Freeze is on? Then later you edit and decide to change the F to F# as well. Now the second F# has a redundant accidental on it. I wouldn't call that "working as expected."

Re: [Finale] Courtesy Accidentals
An update. As suggested by Christopher, I opened a ticket with tech support, they got back to me, asked to see the file, and correctly identified the issue which was that Auto Freeze Accidentals was unchecked. Checking it fixed the problem -- or at least returned Final to working the way I expected it to work… Neal Gittleman > > FinMac 2012a.r3, using Speedy Entry > > All of a sudden, when I enter a courtesy accidental via the * key, it > disappears as soon as I leave the measure.

Re: [Finale] Doubling Part
If you are on 2012, it is dead easy. Click the first measure where you want the new instrument to appear, or else select a range of measures, then select Change Instrument from the menu. Playback and the score staff name will be correct too, if you started with the Setup Wizard. There are really only two issues. One is between flute and piccolo or clar and bass clar, you won't be able to tell at a glance in which measure the instrument/transposition change happens. For oboe and english horn, you will see the key sig change. So I would mark it with a text expression immediately. Also be aware that instrument changes do not copy and paste like Staff Styles did, so you can easily copy music from one staff to another with no worries, and if you are copying a previous passage in the same staff, you have to make sure it's on the same instrument. The other issue is if you are using chromatic transposition, or non- standard instruments like horn in E, F, G, A etc. all in the same staff. That answer is a little longer. If you are 2011 or previous, use the staff styles. Assigning them to metatools would be easiest. Watch when you copy between staves that you DON'T copy the staff styles! Also watch that you don't hit the staff style metatool by accident. I used to have entire scores as Bass Clarinet because 4 was my metatool for that staff style, and I hit 4 when I was in the Staff Tool instead of the Selection Tool, intending to invoke Music Spacing. Yikes!

[Finale] Doubling Part
Greetings… Soon I'll be embarking on a Finale project that will involve several doubling parts (Flute/Piccolo, Oboe/English Horn, Clarinet/Bass Clarinet). I'd appreciate any suggestions people have about most efficient procedures of how to do this. Playback is not an essential element, though it would certainly make proofreading easier… Thanks… Neal Gittleman ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

Re: [Finale] text blocks with inserts disappear when edited
i experienced the prob in docs with no libraries as well as ones based on my template. it seems to only happen when hitting return after the insert, not before. which would suggest that when i move the cursor to the right of the text insert, finale acts as if the text insert has been *selected*, and therefore any typing would overwrite it...? anyways, i sent your info on to MM support, thanks. >I have an iMac from 2007 with 4 gigs memory >I set up a file with no libraries and the insert text process worked >as you described in your original email. > >I can make the text disappear within the file or edit text dialogue box. >Is it because there are no libraries? ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

Turn off automatic update layout in program options. I think that's what I did to fix it. It's a Mac thing, works fine on PC.

Re: [Finale] text blocks with inserts disappear when edited
I have an iMac from 2007 with 4 gigs memory I set up a file with no libraries and the insert text process worked as you described in your original email. open new doc from default; or create "new doc with no libraries" and create a text block with "Part/Score Name" insert I can make the text disappear within the file or edit text dialogue box. Is it because there are no libraries? Let me know if you need more information.

has anyone else noticed sluggish behaviour? i am early on in a huge score and it is taking 7 seconds to exit speedy entry. fine, maybe that isn't huge but this score is 160 pages and i am worried it is just going to get much worse as i get further along. ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
