What a relief! Thanks very much Dennis.

I wonder what I needed to search on to find out about that. I think I tried 
"note values".

Re: [Finale] emailing pdf

[Lee Actor]

The pdf export feature in WinFin2012c (the version I'm currently using) has
a bug that generates extraneous characters, usually at the bottom of pages
containing triplets.  I reported this bug to Makemusic in Nov. 2013; it's a
known bug in the 3rd party pdf export engine they use, and to the best of my
knowledge it has not been fixed in Fin2014 to date.  You might consider
using one of the many available "pdf printer" products, which install as a
printer driver and enable pdfs to be produced from any application which can
print.  I've tried many of them, and my current favorite is Bullzip
(http://bullzip.com/products/pdf/info.php).  It's fast, full-featured,
produces very small file sizes, and is solid as a rock.  Even better, it's
free for individual use.

One other thing: the Finale pdf export, in addition to being buggy, produces
files 5-6x bigger than any other pdf tool I've used.

Thanks - no, there are no illegal characters but amazingly, since I sent my
email to the forum, the file has been sent successfully.  I've no idea what
the problem was.

Ah well, another problem solved!

Thanks David, I hadn't thought of that.  (It's actually gone since I wrote
- on about the seventh attempt - no idea what the problem was).

Are there any "illegal" characters in the filename? I know MacFin has
problems with the slash / character when generating parts. Perhaps a
similar issue exists for Windows?

[Finale] emailing pdf

[Lawrence Yates]

Hi folks,

I'm using WinFin2012c

I have created a file and exported the parts to pdf.  All of these have
emailed to my client except the Violin 1 part which has failed four times
now.  I have tried renaming it, re-exporting it from Finale, re-saving the
original file under a different name and re-exporting.  It isn't the
biggest file.

So far nothing is working.

Any ideas please?

Cheers

[Finale] Mass turning ties into dots? Possible? WinFin 2014

[Patsy Moore]

Hello Listers,

My WinFin 2014 frustrations and annoyances continue, this time with a file 
imported from Midi.

It's an orchestral score starting in 6/8 and continuing in a mixture of 6/8 
and 9/8. When it's imported it mysteriously has a whole bar's rest at the 
beginning, followed by another 1/8 rest in the few parts that are playing 
at the beginning. Everything that follows is showing up 1/8 later than 
intended. There are also quite a lot of empty measures at the end of the 
music, which are not a problem, just a mystery.

I've managed to remove the surplus 7 x 1/8 at the beginning and rebar, but 
instead of getting dotted 1/4 or dotted 1/2 for the longer notes I've got 
forests of ties, e.g. most bars with a single long note showing 
1/4-tie-1/8-tie twice instead of dotted 1/2.

I'm doing my best to removed the unhelpful word "should" from my 
vocabulary, but I hope I'm missing a way to turn the tied notes globally 
into dotted ones.

Greetings from England,

Patsy

Belated thanks for that, Jari - just surfaced again!
The size change was just what I needed, but I still haven't got all I was 
hoping for. Especially in the Measure tool, which I find extremely fiddly 
to use, I'm looking at barlines completely covered by 3 handles that claim 
to be "transparent" but aren't, plus a 4th one sticking out to the right. I 
want to be able to see what's underneath without the dirty grey shadows on 
the insides of them.

Unchecking "Transparent Handles" on my now slightly bigger than standard 
sized ones produces opaque ones that make the barline invisible and can 
completely cover a note head at the bottom of the stave. Groan...

What I want are the neat, thin outlines of the opaque ones with a clear 
view through the middle, and no messy, dirty shading. Am I missing something?

Just off to start another topic.

Patsy
