Re: [Finale] how do I delete #1 measures?

2015-11-29 Thread Raymond Horton 
Ok, I haven't had time to try anything yet , but in my defense, I did not
use the pickup measure function as I know it is totally bugged. My fault
for being unclear in my first message. I actually did exactly as
Christopher describes, but I still have the problems. Thanks

Re: [Finale] two parts on one staff

2015-11-29 Thread Christopher Smith 
There is no general solution in Finale 2008. In 2014.5 they have finally 
addressed it, but in 2008 you’ll have to manually hide the superfluous 
accidentals. Sorry.

Re: [Finale] how do I delete #1 measures?

2015-11-29 Thread Christopher Smith 
Ah, in that case it sounds like you have some file corruption. It may be 
mild—just preventing you from deleting the first measure or inserting. 

Fortunately, this happened to me once (without a pickup, but that shouldn’t 
matter.) Cut the entire piece (command X), then paste it 90 measures later with 
Command-V. You may have some time sigs and key sigs to clear, and I have found 
that sometimes double barlines need to be reset so that they correctly break 
multi measure rests. Then you can paste in your new piece. Make sure you copy 
and paste measure STACKS so that keys, time sigs and everything get copied.

2015-11-29 Thread Christopher Smith 
J D has it right. Furthermore, I would suggest that in the future NOT to use 
the pickup measure feature, but create it the old-fashioned way by making the 
time signature 1/8 but display as 4/4, and start the measure numbering from bar 
2. (DON’T exclude the first measure from measure numbering using the Measure 
Attributes, as this causes problems galore in other tools.)

Re: [Finale] how do I delete #1 measures?

Good idea Christopher.  But with a large copy paste, it might be a better idea 
to copy and Insert to assure all key and time sigs make it over.  Copy and 
paste is very buggy in all versions of Finale, especially if any tuplets are 
involved.
