Son of a…
That's a major, data-erasing bug, and MakeMusic should know of it ASAP. I hope 
you have opened a tech support case detailing what you told us.

Thanks for tracking this down, and sorry it cost you data.

That was exactly the message I got. I remember now.

But - but - my file was called "van_delden.mus". There's no illegal

[Finale] Templates

2015-02-18 Thread Steve Parker
I have a small but time consuming problem with items disappearing.
Tech support have told me it is because I’m using a template made in a Finale 
version before 2014 and that I should create new Templates in 2014.
Almost every setting is tweaked as well as a lot of carefully placed items, so 
this seems an overwhelming job for every template that I use.

Is there any way of printing the settings or is there a file hidden somewhere 
that I can raid for text of the templates’ settings?

Thanks,

Steve P.

when i had to do this, i simply took screenshots of every possible

and the images on my smaller screen and hacked through transferring 
the settings one by one. yuck.

thought i was being clever by naming all the screenshots (ties_short, 
ties_medium, etc.) - i was to a degree, but should have prefixed 
numbers to them (1a_xxx, 1b_xxx, ...) so they would be listed 
alphabetically corresponding to the order in which they appear in the

document options i would think gets it all.  if 
upgrading then also programme options.

libraries:
- stem connections
- articulations
- text expressions
- ...

depending on how much of an overhaul you are doing.

i did this between 2012 and 2014, started with a 
"new doc no libraries".  was a big pain in the 
ass, but also an opportunity to clean up my 
working environment at the same time.  i was 
fortunate in being able to do it in a little bit 
of downtime and not in the middle of a new 
project with time constraints.

One aspect not loaded to library is line thickness of smart shape lines.

Re: [Finale] Templates

2015-02-18 Thread Girard Bowe
Recreating a template for a new version is a tortuous and torturous task.
Robert Patterson's Scrapbook Setting plugin just doesn't seem to work for
me, and I'm not sure it's comprehensive enough to completely recreate a
template with all one's refinements.

If someone came up with a plug-in that did this reliably, I'd pay good money
for it. I've requested this from the Finale developers, but they didn't
bite.

the two times i needed to do this: 1) i started from scratch so did 
it from the ground up; 2) i needed only some of the settings, and 
kept some in the doc i was importing to so had no choice but to do it 
one by one (certain libraries can be imported individually but 
certain areas are only possible to export as a library in a bundle).

some stem connection settings are not imported in a stem connections library.

Two things. 
Firstly, the name of the score in score manager doesn't survive closing the 
file. 
Secondly, text boxes with inserts disappear when the file is closed and 
re-opened. 
I couldn't get further with tech support. These things didn't happen with new 
files created from the wizard and they did happen with template-created files 
from 2008 and 2012. 
I would have thought that Finale would be interested in what was going on, but 
it seemed not. 
I'm not sure what could be up with the templates other than settings. 
They can't all have corrupted in the same way overnight. 
The work to start them all again is depressing.. There are some jobs that will 
just not be worth the work.

I would recommend opening the templates in their original version and
running data check on them. Then open them in Fin14 and run data check on
them again. Save the result as a Fin14 template and see if you continue to
have the problem.

Autosave was on by default when I installed F2014 on Windows 8.1 (just 
before Christmas 2014 on a new Lenovo laptop) and has never given me any 
trouble on several different versions of FInale since the mid 90s; it 
saved me some minutes of work two days ago when a security program did a 
forced reboot of Windows without asking.  I try to save with Control S 
frequently.  My back-up folder is on one of two flash drives that I 
alternate, so that if Finale wrecks all three working files, I have a 
copy from the previous session.  When I am not using the computer, both 
flash drives are on strings around my neck, so that my portfolio is 
saved if the house burns down with the laptop in it.

Where computers are concerned, my hopes are higher than my expectations.
