[Finale] Complete FINALE 2008 re-install
Much of my work involves transcribing manuscripts and evolving "modern" editions with updated instrumentations. The result has been a "freeze" of FINALE to the point of needing a re-start to get out of FINALE. I've lost months of valuable time due to this. I've been writing to the list about these recently. MAKEMUSIC support has been helpful, though the most recent correction has involved a "clean" re-install of FINALE. The process is not for the timid and requires nearly an hour to complete. I know that I run a complex setup, and I stress the app terribly. I suspect VISTA is also part of the problem. One result of my experience may be new install procedures. For the re-install I had to use the Device Manager to disable all but a few apps in my account. I hope this info is usefull to the list. I suspect we may have more such issues as our hardware and software evolve.

[Finale] WinFin 2008a Rests in Voice 2
After various pastes between staves, I am findind rests appearing in bars where the Voice 2 has never been used. These artifacts can be painstakingly removed, but they are seemingly something peculiar to 2008. I'm sure there's an obscure button I need to uncheck. I remain distrustful of the :filters" in the EDIT menu;-( BTW, MAKEMUSIC Support "fixed" the crashing after pastes by deleting the "finale.ini" file.

[Finale] WinFin2008a paste and crash
While FINALE Support was able to fix a problem with Human Playback on old files a while back, I still find a problem with pasting from newer (2003 and up) files to 2008a. The bug seems to lie in a new widow that asks if I want to ADD a missing font to the font list. If I do the insertions in tiny bites, FINALE doesn't crash. Somehow, the larger the paste, the more likely the crash. Another annoying (minor) development is the crash on loading after such an event. The error code will change from time to time, but it is new to me. I'm using VISTA (I know;-(, but there are 4 GB of RAM.

[Finale] Strange REBAR behavior WinFin 2008a
I use SHARPEYE a lot for my work in editions. One of my techniques is to use the REBAR command to return measures to "empty" after converted by MUSICXML. The odd behavior is the removal of all dotted notes to their replacement by their components - a dotted 8th-16th becomes an 8th tied to a 16th and a 16th. This very inconvenient. Any solutions?

[Finale] LOST windows
I have a 2-monitor setup that I use for a lot of work. (My main machine is a laptop.) It is a pivot monitor being run by nVidia drivers;-) For lomger than I care to remember the "system margins" window is in a space between the monitors;-) In short, I have not seen it in 3 months. I have a workaround, but I don't like it. Has anyone figured out a way to force a wandering window back to the main screen? Also, even when I have only the laptop, the window is "lost."

[Finale] OT: OSX backup software suggestions?
Check out CMS software. You'll need an external HD (usb best) equal minimally equal to your machine's HD.

The recovery disk uses a LINUX system to replace your screwed-up HD completely. There is an incremental backup capability as well, though I always opt for the complete backup.

[Finale] 2008a Human Playback Error WinFin

[Finale] WINFIN 2008a problems and VISTA
I have been noticing some lackings in 2008a. I wonder if others have noted them: 1. It is no longer possible to change NOTEHEAD size. Any attempt changes the entire note;-( I have written to SUPPORT twice on this, and the requests have been "lost." 2. HUMAN PLAYBACK locks up easily around 38-40% of setup. There is no option except to crash FINALE with TASK MANAGER. It is not universal, but it seems to improve if a new file is set up and data is re-copied. 3. Grace notes at the beginning or end of a measure are almost impossible to PASTE between scores. Even PASTing them internally can be fraught with difficulty and frustration. 4. The lack of a "dedicated" MIDI designation in the SYSTEM seems to require many "Reload MIDI Driver" resets in a FINALE session.

[Finale] The dotted-eighth-sixteenth as a triplet
I think (hope) most folks here know about the persistence of the combination of triplets and dotted-eighth-sixteenth as a triple "feel" in Bach and other Baroque composers. I have, however, been aware of a longer application of this "swing" well into the 19th century. I suffered weeks of desperation until I could play the solos in the last movement of SCHEHEREZADE to my teacher's satisfaction. Even the DAVID CONCERTINO has caused hours of anguish;-) Anyhow, I wonder if Robert Piechaud could devise a plugin for us to apply when we need it in certain spots?

[Finale] VISTA, WinFin2008 & EDIROL
I see that there is no sub-heading for MIDI in VISTA, though the Device Manager lists my EDIROL PCR-1 as a midi source. The problem is that all works fine for a while, but eventually I have no keyboard recognized in Speedy Entry, and 2008 tells me there is no midi driver. Restarts help, but the loss always returns in less than 30 minutes. There are lots of folks to blame here, but I was wondering if non-PCR-1 users were experiencing the same. BTW, you must be on VISTA. The best thing about VISTA has been the ability to handle GPO playback without balking. Also, the REALLY DUMB Control-1 (etc.) fiasco has not been mentioned here yet.

[Finale] A Sibelius List Now?
I should say up front that I own Sibelius and have for almost ten years. My main work involves editions of old music that I need to update into newer versions and ensembles. A FINALE file is too valuable a resource to allow any but close associates to have. I have always objected to SIBELIUS' rigidity. Now, does the community want me to set yo a SIBELIUS list that has the same regs as the FINALE list? I am sure we have been a thorn (albeit hopeful) in the side of MAKEMUSIC. AVID deserves no less.

[Finale] VISTA
I decided to go ahead and move to VISTA, though not without many headaches. FINALEs before 2007 have issues with a great deal of VISTA, not to mention GPO and related apps. I called (by mistake) FINSUPPORT to reset my licenses. In the course of the discussion I noted a bit of "?" that I had not experienced before. I say "?" because the tone in the voice was quite annoyed when I questioned some of the "improvements" in 2008. What have you people been saying to them? ;-) Also, I like the "toys" that come with VISTA. There is an "activity" monitor, and FINALE's big moves seem to peg the first X86 chip while the second and the RAM are untouched. I haven't tried the "fast" flashdrive for dumping certain routines. I'm not even sure that FINALE will be able to access it. I have always found two monitors a great help in my editing of manuscripts. I now have a 22" wide monitor that I can pivot. It really helps. Sadly, to have a pivot monitor from DELL, one must buy a $120 stand that clips to one's worktable;-( I did have a real huge pivot monitor several years ago. It tool a lot of software and misery, and space. This one is nicer and about $800 cheaper with the swivel device;-) Henry Howey Professor of Music Sam Houston State University Box 2208 Huntsville, TX 77341 (936) 294-1364 http://www.shsu.edu/music/faculty/howey.php Owner of FINALE Discussion List ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

I just used RECORDARE's DOLET to go back to 2006 with a file where I had a long, multi-keyed file that I wanted to transpose up a ninth. The check to continue the transposition throughout the file was absolutely inoperable. This is a major bug. Also, The hidden staff that was the basis of an ossia would not respond to any manipulation to make it look the same as the actual music. In fact, the OSSIA TOOL in 2007 could not be massaged to do what it has always done in 2006. I do a lot of this sort of manipulation, and this is the first time I've worked extensively in 2007. The disabling of this tool is inexcusable. Thank god for Michael Good.

I'm sure I've been very culpable in all of this; however, NI has some very serious problems with their "service" center. It is NI's licensing mechanism that seems the buggy item. Also, there is a new, serial-numbered installation that will put GPO and JABB into the KONTAKT2 player. I suggest that everyone treat this "upgrade" with particular care. Between them (one each for GPO and JABB) and the Service Center there seems to be the recipe for major screwups and loss of your access to your expensive VSTs.

My Friends, As one who has been in the college teaching business for too long, I would like to offer a reason for the lack of foreign language excperience these days.

[Finale] FREEZE thawed
$150 worth of software (PCDOCPRO, SUITCASE) later, I can tell you the solution to the problem. My university restructured the network, including the printer queus. As a result, it took several days, phonecalls, and visits to my office and our queued printers to cooperate. One was so far gone it could not even be PINGed;-) In short, I had to remove any and all external printers (including an internal one produced in WORD). The ACROBAT and CLICKBOOK printers were never touched. It was never fonts (though I did clean out 70+ I never use). Somehow FINALE (and other applications) reach out to the printers when the fonts are to be chosen. Problem solved, but I never expected this solution;-( It's still WINDOZE.

[Finale] Bounces and AOL
Friends, we are currently within a week of the new Fall Semester. I will review these concerns with the tech who has charge of the maillists run from our server. Normally bounces occur when a listmember's mailbox has been allowed to overflow from inattention. Fairly quickly our listserv cancels the offending site and bars them from re-enroling without my intervention. There was expressed to me (offlist) concern about a vulnerability in the archives. The archives are available only to list members, so I will also inquire how they might appear in a search engine.

[Finale] Trombones
Frankly, too much of this talk concerns me as I (a trombonist) do not feel as confused by my instrument as some think one should be. 1. The only modern contrabass trombone I've EVER heard of is in BB-flat, though some today add an F trigger. Both of these are an octave lower than the tenor-bass instrument used today, regardless of its boresize. 2. The alto-tenor-bass grouping in the Beethoven Fifth was drawn from the choral and theatrical practice already well-established in Austria and Germany. The Sixth was premiered also with the Fifth and calls for only an alto and a tenor, a theatrical setting. 3. Ken's dissertation is quite interesting; however, as a dissertation, it must be considered (still) as a "student" work. There's a new history out that promises to be quite good. 4. I play and teach alto trombone as its timbre is the main reason to use it. No one has ever really needed it for range.

[Finale] RTFM and GPO
First, thanks for the reminder about the add-on manual for GPO. It was very helpful; however, there are some useful procedures I would like to suggest for updating old files AND the percussion map idiosyncaties;-) 1. I am involved in the production of a collection of scores that have approximately the same instrumentation. In order to speed up the transfers, I have made a FINALE TEMPLATE (FTM) that incorporates the GPO instruments that I need. I do know of minor instrumentation adjustments that might occur as the pieces were written over a 13-year period in which there were slight changes in the instrumentation. To facilitate the updates I do the following: a. The template is grouped by each GROUP or section to a different GPO module: Clarinets to GPO1, Cornets and flugelhorns to GPO2, Horns and Genis (alto horn) to GPO3, Mezzo-soprano trumpets to GPO4, low brass to GPO5, and percussion to GPO6. b. In this manner I need to add or subtract or adjust only a small part of the score instead of the whole thing. Of course I need both the MIDI GPO setup and the INSTRUMENT LIST to complete the process. c. BTW, I find it's best to prepare the entire template to the point of setting the initial key to correspond to the INSERT. d. When I do the INSERT, the COPY takes under a minute and the INSERT is all but instantaneous. 2. The non-pitched percussion setup in this procedure is quite peculiar. When I complete the INSERT into the template there is no sound until I painstakingly CUT and replace every single percussion note. Again, I do not re-enter the notes except to CLEAR (on MAC)them and re-insert the, with the ENTER key. Then they play GREAT! Again, I would like to remind list members that email is a peculiar mode of contact. Without facial expressions and tone of voice, we must all speak in modulated tones so as to not be perceived as harsh or confrontational. Smiley faces [ ;-) ] also help a lot;-) Henry Howey Professor of Music Sam Houston State University Box 2208 Huntsville, TX 77341 (936) 294-1364 http://www.shsu.edu/~music/faculty/howey.html Owner of FINALE Discussion List - This email was sent using SamMail.

The WAVE-only setting was the result of using the GPO settings in the selected file.

[Finale] Sibelius 4 and other oddities
I have begun to peruse Sibelius 4 this week before classes. Since my FINALE class for the Musicology School in Cremona will include a brief history of computer music notation, I was wondering if anyone might have some odd bits of experiences to share with me, particularly regarding OTHER music notation software? I have used various programs over the years but wonder that my generally positive opinions regarding FINALE are the result of its excellence or merely my own obtuseness. I find most of FINALE to be intuitive, and that which is not is not too hard to figure out. Also, the SIBELIUS manual has to be one of the most opaque I've seen in quite a while. A few years back, a grad student at Michigan described FINALE as "meta-manuscript." I thought this was an excellent characterization. In short, FINALE has (thanks to prodding by SIBELIUS in particular) begun to evolve into what many critics felt was its greatest weakness, its attempt to "be all things." Thanks to you, my fellow listmembers, we may have also contributed to this evolution.

[Finale] Fin2006 and GPO
My Dear Listfriends, As one who (wisely?) sprang for GPO prior to MakeMusic's (MM) 2006 announcement, I would like to add my two cents to what I've read so far. 1. GPO is a lovely set of sounds with really terrible documentation. I know how the percussion works now, I simply cannot imagine how to combine playback and a modicum of notation for performance. 2. The lack of documentation seems to occur as it springs from the NATIVE INSTRUMENTS and KONTAKT world. If you think MM is hyper about protection with lame setups, try NI;-) 3. As yet no one seems to be able to access 128 voices. 4. If we're confused, just imagine how it's going to be for the rest of the world. 5. I have ordered KONTAKT in the deal with 2006 regidtration. I hope I may be able to report that this acquisition will enable me to prepare some materials to find a way outof this mess for us;-) Henry Howey Professor of Music Sam Houston State University Box 2208 Huntsville, TX 77341 (936) 294-1364 http://www.shsu.edu/~music/faculty/howey.html Owner of FINALE Discussion List ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
