Re: [Finale] Finale 2014.5 Windows?
I did a project in it that I had started in 2014 and didn't have any problems other than the fact that Finale reset all my audio settings. I use a VST plug in and had to tell it what folder to look in and reset the instruments, but that was about it.

Re: [Finale] Sibelius 5 - Second impressions
You can also just edit the Lyrics Text Style and it will change them all and make it that position as the default.

I entered and arranged a simple melody (S/A in canon) and T/B accompaniment, to check out copying, pasting, lyrics and so on. Many things work quite differently than in Finale, but I got most things working. I could enter notes, copy and paste things, add lyrics. Sibelius crashed once (something about a C-Library), but for the rest of the time worked quite fine. Playback: I had to restart two times because one of my SATB voices would not play back. Restarting fixed it. I now have entered the music and lyrics. I wanted to shift the lyrics a little lower because they are too near to the staff symstem. I've checked all the menus and fiddled around for half an hour but I could not find a way to adjust the verse 1 baseline. I am quite certain there must be a way to do it, but where? I can adjust one syllable no problem, but the whole lyrics line? highlight the entire staff, then under Edit menu select FILTER and then select Lyrics. Then only the lyrics are selected and using up or down arrow (or clicking and dragging) will move all the lyrics. [snip] -- David H.

Re: [Finale] TAN: publishing through LULU
I did a test guitar score and parts with 8.5 x 11, stapled and think the quality was very nice.

[Finale] Multimeasure rest breaks
Hey everyone I've got a part in the score that has 4 measures of rest, two are before a System Expression rehearsal mark, 2 measures after the rehearsal mark. Finale was converting it into a 4 bar multimeasure rest, so I used the measure tool to put in a break in the multimeasure rest. Now though, it makes it a multimeasure rest for 2 bars, Rehearsal mark, then 2 bars of whole rests. I've tried selecting the two bars and doing the "multimeasure, create" popup with the selection tool, updating the layout, and extracting the part but nothing makes a difference. Any suggestions on this? (Finale 2008) Thanks. Jeff ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
[Finale] Expressions gone wild
Hey Everyone I'm on Fin 2008 and everything was going well until I started working with formatting the linked parts. I've discovered my Rehearsal Marks, inputted as Staff Expressions (boxed - set to display top staff only in score and parts) have mysteriously duplicated themselves and some seem to have disappeared. Anybody know anything about this and also, is there a better way to do rehearsal marks than staff expressions?

Re: [Finale] FinMac2006 MIDI Output : HELP!
Go to the MIDI Menu, Select MIDI Setup and check the Enable Inter- Application Ports. Then the other outputs will appear.

This is how I have been using since I don't want to be restricted by GPO. I just realized Instrument List no longer let me assign output to "Finale 2006 Output". If I enable IAC Bus, it shows up under the menu so something has changed with FinMac 2006 to disable this function. The scary part of this is that I am also no longer able to do this with FinMac2005b. I tried to fiddle with FinMac2005b MIDI setting which resulted in a crash. The crash log suggests OSX, not Finale, itself crashed at event handler. Bad. Can some one confirm if you are still able to assign instrument MIDI output to "Finale 200x Output 1 ~ 4"?

Re: [Finale] FinMac 2006 installer WARNING!
Hi Everyone FWIW, I just installed 2006 on a dual G5 Mac with Tiger and the only problem I've had so far is the fonts not appearing. I think that was because I forgot to restart after installing. Anyway, deleting the com.Apple.ATS file in the library and restarting solved the problem. (This was a problem with 2005 as well.) BTW, I backed up my Application Support folders to another drive before installing, but they were left untouched. Jeff Third Bear Music On Jul 28, 2005, at 6:47 PM, David W.

That's a description of EVERY BUG IN EVERY PIECE OF SOFTWARE THAT'S EVER EXISTED. The bugs you find, you fix (insofar as you're able). It's the bugs you don't find that bite you, and you can only find them by adequate testing, and the test has to be the *right* test. Unfortunately, sometimes the "test" that reveals the bug doesn't emerge until the code is installed by the users. I would actually blame the makers of the installer, myself, as an installer shouldn't allow the removal of existing folders without taking some kind of special action to make that happen. -- David W.
