Re: [Finale] Changing slurred 8ths to 8th-16th
Thanks to everyone for some great responses to my question. I used JW Rhythm Copy (to change each 8th-8th pair to 8th-16th) and it copied the rhythms correctly. But I noticed that it also erased the slurs in the target measure. (It also erased the staccato marks, but I didn't want those anyway.) Is this correct behavior or am I overlooking something? I could use Robert Patterson's Mass Copy to copy and paste only the slurs, but that will add an additional step to the process.

Re: [Finale] copying collections of expressions
In recent versions of Finale, I will sometimes create a new (or select an existing) passage of music that has the expression, articulations, and or custom smart shapes I want and copy that measure into the new document. Then clear the measure in the new doc. (As long as you don't use Undo, the transferred exp/artic/custom line defs remain.) I often find this quicker than using a library. But you can also create libraries of sets of things by importing a library from an existing doc into a New Doc without Libraries. You then remove all the items you don't want and export the libary again. That becomes a lightweight library that you can import into any doc where you want the set of items.

Re: [Finale] [Olist] Re: [sibelius-list] Notation program MuseScore version 2 has a new release candidate for download
I find it interesting to see such loyal Sibelius users, continuing to defend it now even though it is (at least apparently) dead, like Michael Palin and the legendary parrot in the Monty Python skit. I wonder if there exists a Finale user with such fanatic loyalty. I've never met one. Does anyone know if Sibelius 7 does nested desk brackets? I never could get past giving those up (having lobbied so hard to get them in Finale), which is why I never seriously considered switching. The latest version I tried was, I believe, Sibelius 5. Having said all that, I spoke to a Sib user only yesterday who is hoping to continue using it for a long time. Since Sib7 is 64-bit, I see no reason it won't last a very long time as-is. So maybe this time Michael Palin is right. I agree with David Bailey's main point whole-heartedly. MuseScore is a very interesting platform. I am on their developer list, and it is quite active. They are already planning v3. On Sun, Mar 22, 2015 at 7:54 AM, David H.

Re: [Finale] Changing slurred 8ths to 8th-16th
One change that might make it seem less like a bowing is to put the staccato mark over the stem instead of under the note. This works better for upstem than downstem. Personally, I don't understand the resistance to using 16ths, but ymmv. If the OP wants to switch to using 16ths, the JW Ryhthm Copy can facilitate the change of rhythm fairly simply. (It may take a few passes, because the plugin is a bit picky.) And my Mass Copy plugin can remove the staccato dots in one click.

Re: [Finale] Changing slurred 8ths to 8th-16th
It is my understanding in reading his book, that it is not a question of whether or not to use proper notation, it is a question of clarifying the notation. From the controversy here I would say a text explanation is in order; no matter what notation might be chosen... there are plenty of informed opinions and that is confusing, a waste of time, for any conductor when a score is being performed. Notate to the best of your knowledge, and make text clarification wherever.

Re: [Finale] Changing slurred 8ths to 8th-16th
It does seem to remove the slurs, but adding them back should be a snap with Mass Copy unless you've done individual edits on them. Even then, I think you could make a copy of your file before you run the JW plugin, then copy the slurs from the copy back to the original after running the JW plugin (using Mass Copy).

You may have to manually delete the articulations, but that's one very quick operation. Enter one measure as you wish, then select it with the Selection Tool, invoke JW Rhythm Copy - SET SOURCE (nothing will appear to happen), then select the passage you want it copied to and invoke JW Rhythm Copy - COPY and the rhythm will copy over to every measure. I use it a lot (thanks, Jari!)

Re: [Finale] Key sig for melodic minor
I agree! The non-standard key sig would be for various scalar articulation exercises, adapting some standard trumpet exercises to the melodic minor mode for improvisational purposes. If the melodic minor key sig worked as expected, it would obviate a tremendous amount of work in transposing an exercise into all 7 modes of all 12 keys. I would probably be the only one to use these, unless one of my Finale list or trumpet buddies were interested in seeing these. Thanks Raymond!
