[David H. Bailey]

I was amazed at the improvements that came with version 2, and I see 
that they have version 3 out in alpha-2 (not ready for normal use) for 
the bold to try.  With the whole project based on donated time and 
programming skills and totally free to the end-user, the user community 
is the testing ground.  When the "official" version is released (i.e. no 
longer in alpha or beta testing) they make a big announcement.  Knowing 
all the improvements which came with version 2, I can't wait to see what 
they have in store for version 3!

There isn't a free program that saves in Finale file format besides NotePad, 
and as you point out that's only a Windows program.  So the best free option is 
for all of you to install and use MuseScore for your assignments.

Musescore is a great program. It is constantly making leaps in its development.

Musescore is totally free, very capable and if you install it on your 
computer you can simply view your students' assignments without a need 
for them to save them as musicxml for you to open in Finale.


There isn't a free program that saves in Finale file format besides 
NotePad, and as you point out that's only a Windows program.  So the 
best free option is for all of you to install and use MuseScore for your

Re: [Finale] Multi Meas Rests Again

[christopher.smith]

Yeah, it's a bug. They are SUPPOSED to display, and they claim to have fixed 
it, but it isn't fixed. The workaround I suggested is just part of my routine 
now.

"From the Staff Menu, select "use selected Staff Styles for score and

I'll try that, but I always select display in Score and Parts when I apply
them.
Next time they don't show, I'll try your fix, thanks.

Re: [Finale] Showing Same Text in Different Pages

Probably missing something.



You don't say which version of Finale you're using so the actual steps 
to get it to act as you wish might be different.


In Finale26 when you select the Text tool, in the Text menu are two 
options: "Assign New Text To Measure" and "Assign New Text To Page." 
the second one is set by default and text boxes act as you have found. 
If you click on "Assign New Text To Measure" then any new text box will 
be assigned to that specific measure, and whichever page that measure 
appears on (most likely different in score and parts and possibly even 
different pages from part to part) is where that text box will appear.


I know text boxes could be assigned to page or to measure in previous 
versions also but Fin26 is what I currently have installed, so if you're 
using an earlier version you might need to go searching in the user 
manual or check out the different menu listings for the Text menu.


For text blocks you've already entered if you right click on the handle 
for one of them and then select "Edit Frame Attributes" you can change 
the setting from Page to Measure.  So be sure it's where you want it 
when you do that.  Probably doing that in the score would be best, once 
you've put the text box back where you want it.
