Well, yes, Finale does that automatically. Having the mark carry over from previous pages seems like some of those old scores that never repeat the key signatures. It's a transcription.

[Finale] emailing pdf
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?

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.

Re: [Finale] emailing pdf
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. -Lee ___ Lee Actor Composer-in-Residence and Assistant Conductor, Palo Alto Philharmonic http://www.leeactor.com -Original Message- From: finale-boun...@shsu.edu [mailto:finale-boun...@shsu.edu] On Behalf Of Lawrence Yates Sent: Friday, May 08, 2015 2:53 PM To: finale@shsu.edu Subject: Re: [Finale] emailing pdf Thanks - no, there are no illegal characters but amazingly, since I sent my email to the forum, the file has been sent successfully.

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

Re: [Finale] FinWin 2014 Handle size and colour?
On 2015-04-28 Jari Williamson wrote: Select Edit/Preferences... The View page contains the settings Handle Size (increase that value) and Transparent Handles (uncheck that one). 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.
