[Finale] Number of accidentals in non-standard key signatures
Dear Collective Wisdom, I am reviving an old project using 72-edo. I have almost successfully set up Finale 2012 (Mac OS Lion) with appropriate accidentals, that is, I have 11 accidentals programmed and ready to go, but only can access the first 7 in both directions. Is this a "feature"of Finale or am I missing an important step? Thanks for your help... cheers, Andrea -- ™™ http://reloadsanear.com http://antisocialmusic.org mailing list = http://eepurl.com/WHBU ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
Re: [Finale] Ray's Tech Tip
(Assuming that Harold is asking a serious question, directed at the first half of my post) PC. I was surprised that I could get a midi to USB cable that works well (I'll post the link if anyone wants it), that it would cost almost nothing, and that it would work with this old little Casio MT-240. I will have to get used to the mini keys on it - but they do allow me to enter chords as widely spaced as a 12th. It doesn't have a "local on/off" switch but it has something easier - a volume control. As I said, I must have slightly brushed the computer keyboard connector at the back of the computer - not only where the correct pitches not showing up in Speedy Entry, but nothing, at all, would happen when I pressed the number keys on the computer keyboard, After a few tries at all of the different midi device and thru settings, I finally tried typing in Notepad and the culprit was found. It's always something.

Re: [Finale] independent time signatures
Time signatures only copy when you copy measure STACKS (all staves, for a designated number of measures.) If you are mostly keeping the same time signatures for most of the piece, and only need the independent time sigs for a relatively short passage, I would suggest turning off independent time sigs for all staves, setting all of your time signatures for the whole piece, then change some staves to independent time signatures and edit those staves's time sigs last. If it's a repeated pattern, you can also set a measure stack to what you want, then copy the measure stack to other measure, key signatures only.

Re: [Finale] independent time signatures
This will help save some keystrokes, although it isn't what I had in mind. If I go into mass edit and select the copy time signatures option and then try to copy the time signatures from a non-independnt time signature staff into one of the independent time signature staves, nothing happens. Is there some trick to getting this move to work? Aaron J.

Mac - Finale 2010 - I can't find "autosave" (by any name) in the menu bars. Recently lost 4 hours of work when I neglected to save manually. Dumb dumb dumb! That said, I'll probably do it again when I get too involved. Need autosave, which I used to use all the time on big scores. Help! and thanks in advance.

[Finale] Ray's Tech Tip
My son took back a keyboard controller that I had borrowed for quite a while. I thought I might have to buy a new one, since the keyboard I was left with was a small Casio I had bought at a pawn shop 20 years ago for $30 which has midi but, of course, no USB. Before springing for a new keyboard I decided to risk $4.30 (shipping included) on a midi to USB connector. It seems to work just fine, but not without some unneeded difficulty during the installation. Here is MY tech tip for the day - just ignore it if it is too technical: When you are installing a midi keyboard onto your computer, everything will work much better if you do not - I repeat, do not, accidentally, and without noticing, disconnect your computer keyboard at the same time. Let me know if this is a help to anybody.
