[Finale] hyphenation of Lyrics

2004-10-25 Thread Ben Michelle Farley
Does anyone know of a plug-in or program that will automatically insert
hyphenation in the correct point in words? 

Most word processors do it, but only at the end of a line. I want on that
does the entire text.

[Finale] Drum Patterns

2004-10-22 Thread Ben Michelle Farley
Title: Message



Hi There. 


I'm working on a job 
that i did in sonar and converted to a midi then imported into Finale. All 
transferred beautifully except for the drum part. I have it all setup but i want 
to be able to convert certain parts of the drum part (i.e. kick) to another 
layer (i.e. from layer 1 to layer 2) so i can assign the stems to go down. 


I know i can do it 
through the stem direction tool, but that is going to take me 
ages

Any 
ideas

Hi Christopher,

Yes, I did know about this.  It's just my personal preference to not 
use a percussion map.  Depending on what I'm working on I may later 
move things to different lines to make them more readable etc.  It 
bothers me to have to then change the notehead too.  I'll often add 
kicks over time, kicks with horns etc. on the top line where I may 
usually have a cymbal (x's).  I can be more flexible with which 
layers things show up in too.  Again, just personal preference.

My other problem is that I get files from other people and their drum 
parts come in set up differently.  Rather than try and create a perc. 
map each time.   I can just blow everything apart  clean it up, 
apply any notehead move all the notes to one line (this is 
particularly handy with snare parts where rim shots come in on a 
different line and I want all snare notes on the same line...I'll 
then use x noteheads for rim shots and regular note heads everywhere 
else) assign layer and put it back together.  I have everything 
quickeyed so that makes it easier too.

But I have friends that swear by the percussion map:-)  Hmmm...mac or
pc?

Implode music is also sometimes handy if you need to merge two
separate parts back onto one staff in the same layer. I sometimes 
split everything out on to it's own staff using explode parts to 
quickly change noteheads for say the high-hat and cymbal parts to 
x's Then I use implode music to put the high hat, cymbals and 
snare back together in the same layer on the same staff.  Finale 
will sort it out so that everything is clean as far as the stems go.


Karen,

Do you know that you can set the Percussion Map so that all
incidences of the same note will automatically appear as X heads (or 
any other shape you want) AND appear on the line or space you want? 
This is quite a bit quicker than separating, changing, and merging, 
especially when we are talking about an entire drum part.

[Finale] Song transcriptions

2004-09-15 Thread Ben Michelle Farley








Hi to the list!



I was wondering if there was anyone out there who
does song transcriptions for songwriters ie transcribed by ear from an mp3 or a
cd. What do you generally charge $$$ in your location/country.

I've just tried using WinFin2005  my transcribing software, only to get an 
error from Transcribe! that the sound card is already in use. It seems I 
had the same conflict in WinFin2004, only I've forgotten how I fixed it. 
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Subject: [Finale] MIDI keyboards: request for advice

I shall be taking my Winfin 2004 equipped HP laptop (using Windows XP)
away on a composition course shortly, and want to be able to use a MIDI
keyboard for Speedy entry.  The laptop lacks the game port that I use on
my desktop to connect a MIDI keyboard to it, but has USB2.  There are
products (in particular the Keystation 49 from Midiman of Arcadia, CA)
that are claimed to provide MIDI information via USB (and can be powered
by it).  Has any of you used this hardware set-up?  My concern is
whether Finale will be able to find the keyboard via USB.

TIA
