If you do go back to Fin14, it's worth remembering that you can fire up
Fin14.5 at any time and work on the same file without conversion. You may
want to consider doing this when you get to preparing linked parts. Fin14.5
has some crucial bug fixes in that area.

Re: [Finale] Update: Info on JW Plug-ins & TG Tools

2015-11-18 Thread Chuck Israels
JW Space empty rests is broken in 2014.5 and I can confirm that TG Tools 
Align/Move dynamics does not respond to the keyboard commands after the first 
time it is invoked.

This is painful.  I had hoped for more stability and functionality, not less.

[Finale] Update: Info on JW Plug-ins

2015-11-18 Thread Dean Rosenthal
Hi all,

Sorry for the repeated posts. This page on Facebook has information about
the Plug-ins: https://www.facebook.com/jwpluginsforfinale/

I went back to the Finale.nu site and downloaded one much more recent
Plug-in – and all is well. So, that's good.

Check out the Facebook page for information. These Plug-ins have been
invaluable and I am sure they will work well far into the future.

Thanks for your patience.

[Finale] Update: JW Plugins Crash 2014.5

2015-11-18 Thread Dean Rosenthal
Hi all –

Still interested in getting input from all about JW-Plugins. Had my first
2014.5 crash from attempting use of one of the plug-ins. Man. I've opened
2014.5 just three times. Honeymoon's over, I guess. I thought this update
would be more stable. Should we start talking about going back to 2014d?

[Finale] JW Plug-ins Not Working in 2014.5

2015-11-18 Thread Dean Rosenthal
Hi,

Anyone else having issues with JW Plug-ins in 2014.5? Note Spacing and
others don't seem to be working normally. For example, on Note Spacing, the
first use works, after that, there is no pop-up window, nothing.

I checked Expand Region and others, something doesn't seem right, either. I
like that set of Plug-ins quite a bit. I do hope there's something to be
done. Obviously the release is about Finale and not whether JW Plug-ins are
compatible, but it would be unusual to ignore the possibility.

I'm working on Mac, 10.9.5. I copied the JW Plug-ins from the 2014 folder
to the 2014.5 folder, so that's how I installed them...all help appreciated.

Dean

[Finale] Finale 2014.5

2015-11-18 Thread Randolph Peters
First impressions of 2014.5 on a Mac (Yosemite)

1. Special Tools Window doesn’t remember my placement on another monitor, 
although Main Tools, Smart Shapes and Playback Windows do.

2. Extra large tool size not remembered in preferences.

3. TGTools align dynamics and hairpins with the special keys does not work. (It 
might have worked once, but no more!)

This last one is a deal breaker for me. I’m going back to 2014 until this is 
fixed.

At least the files still open without a problem going back to 2014.

You are correct.  The setting was "automatic"  Evidently the handling 
for "automatic" changed.  I set it to "chromatic" and it plans as 
before, which is preferable in this case.  Thanks for that tip.

One of the bug fixes involved the criss-crossed use of two different 
MIDI controllers (I think these affected volume and not pitch), so it 
seems they were in that area of code at least to some extent.

I would agree.  I have not tested this personally and am relying on a 
(reliable) user who posted at the Finale forum.

The reality here is that this is essentially a new company and mostly a 
new set of developers inheriting a huge and quite complex code base. 
Having done that a few times in my career, I can tell you this is really 
scary.  Coincidentally, Sibelius was in exactly the same position.  The 
Sibelius people opted to not touch the main code and to put out a "7.5" 
that was almost entirely cosmetic.  It was a "statement of support" but 
not real support.

The Finale people wanted to demonstrate something a little more 
substantial, and took an extra 18 months for that.

I can't say which strategy was correct.  The fact is that there are 
still big bugs needing fixes and important improvements needed.  At this 
stage we have more evidence that the Finale people can make improvements 
than we have from the Sibelius people.  But if we are looking at another 
18 months before the next set of bug fixes, that will be really 
disappointing.

Have you checked the HP settings for portamento/chromatic gliss ?
Maybe they changed the default setting ? But I can't believe that you 
open a file that was set to chromatic gliss now automatically becomes a 
portamento. At least it should be easy to change in the HP settings 
(HP->Glissandi/Bends->Type: Chromatic).

I haven't tested it myself yet. But if they didn't fix the long known 
note-on/off bug that accidentally skips notes in playback, this would be 
a pretty bad priority list for bug fixing: playback would still not be 
working properly.

Re: [Finale] Superficial comment on Finale 2014.5

2015-11-18 Thread Craig Parmerlee
Yes, it is a mixed bag.  So far, the biggest problem I have seen is that 
it knocks out VST playback after doing an export to WAV.  I have to 
restart Finale to get sound going again.

They seemed to have done a few things affecting HP.  For example I am 
working on an arrangement where the flutes gliss an octave, so I notated 
this with the straight line smartshape.  In 2014, it plays distinct 
notes in that run, which is how the flute will sound.  In 2014.5, it is 
a portamento.  That's OK for this project.  Anyway, my point is that 
they did something in that area, but they didn't fix the main HP bugs 
that have to do with note-on/off timing.

The good news is that the new team is able to make some changes that are 
more than superficial without completely ruining the product, so they 
should be in a position to fix more of the bugs.

What are the file sizes on the ones in the plugin folder? Are you sure you
restarted Finale? I apologize for asking such basic questions, but I
guarantee you the issue is something basic.

Hello Robert,

I've downloaded it twice. It came down as Fin14Mac.zip. I've manually pointed 
the program's preferences to the plugin folder even though it was correct. 
Still not able to access.

[Finale] Finale 2014.5 quick first impression

2015-11-18 Thread Robert Patterson
I downloaded the official Fin14.5 for Mac, and I feel that a warning is in
order. If you don't have to upgrade to El Capitan, I would hold off.
There's a long-standing issue on Macs with modeless plugin dialogs that
causes the main dialog to lose focus. In just cursory trials with Fin14.5
this morning, it appears that the problem is now much worse and that any
dialog causes (or at least often causes) the main dialog to lose focus. You
can quite easily end up in a scenario where no window has focus. This may
not sound that bad to some, but it is probably a deal breaker for me, at
least during the heavy editing phase.

Another annoyance I am experiencing is that every time I open the program
it re-displays the simple palette and the playback controls. And it doesn't
remember my previous window position. If anyone knows a way to address
this, I'd appreciate it.

One of the nice things is that you can freely transition between Fin14d and
Fin14.5 while working on the same file.

The symptoms you are describing are exactly those that would be the case if
you had the Fin12 version of Patterson Plugins installed in the 14.5 plugin
folder. Please double check. The 14.5 version comes in an archive called
"Fin14Mac.zip" or "Fin14Win.zip". The mac versions are roughly twice as big
as the Fin12 mac versions. Most of them are around 2.2M as opposed to the
Fin12 versions that are around 1M.
