Subject: [Finale] no sound

 I just made a new file for String Quartet, and began writing... but there
 is no sound. ..
 Where do I go to make this file play

 Thanks,
 Linda

Linda, look in the Score Manager, and make sure that the assigned channels 
(at the right) agree with the ARIA player settings.

It has happened for me, too.

Not really, Ray.  The whole world is really drawn upside down.  !

Yes, but in their defense I do imagine it's pretty expensive to have to 
flip every line of code upside down.

Re: [Finale] print forces update layout??

2010-05-21 Thread Ian Harris
You may be able to obtain the 12 EVPUs by reducing the width of the 
preceding measures by a total of the required number of EVPUs.  
(Measure tool - click on the individual measure(s) and alter the width 
number.)  [I have done this with single staves - I don't know if it works 
with the whole system.]

Is there somewhere I can define the time signature numeral 
characters?  If I can blank out the plus and some digits I may be 
able to fake something with a composite time signature.


that will surely give you way more space than you need

what about creating an expression of a staff (5 lines, attached to 
all staves) that is something like 12 EVPUS (or whatever extra you 
need) and adjusting the system to end 12 EVPUS from the right margin?

Re: [Finale] beams over rests

2010-02-16 Thread Ian Harris
My usual method is to lengthen the stems of the beamed groups - 
[Tools/Advanced Tools/Special Tools/Beam Angle] - and if necessary, hide the 
rest in Voice 1, and create one in Voice 2 in Speedy, as Robert Patterson 
recently wrote in this list - or Layer 1(hide) and Layer 2 (create) in 
Simple input.  You should be able to restore the rests to their original 
positions.

Subject: [Finale] beams over rests


I have a piece where 16th rests alternate with 16th notes beamed two by 
two, which means the beam is over the rest. Is there a plug-in or some way 
to avoid having the beams collide with the rests (some of which are 
vertically shifted, because there are two voices or layers on the same 
staff)?


Thanks,

Dennis

Re: [Finale] secondary beams over rests

2010-02-04 Thread Ian Harris

Thank you, Robert.

I tried it - works perfectly.
It also works in Simple entry, using a second layer -
but there is a bit more mucking about to do.
Very grateful.

This is an annoying workaround that I use. Once you get the hang of it
you can set it up pretty fast, but it doesn't space correctly nor does
it alway copy/past correctly.

Turn beaming over rests ON. For the 16th note-rest-8th note pattern,
in speedy hide the rest using the O key, then enter a rest in V2 at
that same spot. With a little practice, you can manage to get the hang
of entering the V2 rest at the right level and leaving the stems
pointing in the right directions.

Is there some way in which I may obtain the best of both - the full

secondary beam not over the rest in the second?
