Re: [Finale] Finale Midi to Encore
Hi Linda, The latest version of Encore does import musicXML files. It's not as developed as the MusicXML built into Finale and Sibelius. It will not import lyrics, chords symbols and many other elements. But it will give you notes and I believe articulations and some text much better than a MIDI file. I've had some Encore files come through with rhythmic problems Best, John John Hinchey Nashville Tennessee Phone: 615-397-3675 Website: Hinchey Music Services http://www.hincheymusic.com/ Blog: Notes On Notes http://johnhinchey.com/ Twitter: @hincheymusic http://twitter.com/hincheymusic ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
Re:[Finale] Naming PDFs
Hey Mike Casteel, Regarding the naming of PDFs, it's interesting what I would logically do in Mac OSX is instead of clicking on the name tab at the top of the folder window (which sorts files alphabetically by file name) I would click on the Date Modified tab which sorts the file by their creating date (and time). The logic being Finale would generate the parts either form the top or bottom of the instrument list in the print window which is in score order. I tried it and oddly enough Finale prints in a semi-random order (okay maybe semi-random isn't a word). But I just tried it on an studio orchestra score 2's on the WW's, 2 horns, elec guitar, harp, strings. The score is in typical order of WWs, Brass etc The PDFs printed in this order: Fl 1 Fl 2 Oboe 1 Oboe 2 Basson 1 Cl 1 Cl Basson 2 etc. Strings go Vln 1 Cello VLA Vln 2 DB Timpani (which started out above in the perc section) So, I thought I had a slick solution but alas no. ;-( Hinchey John Hinchey Nashville Tennessee Phone: 615-397-3675 Website: Hinchey Music Services http://www.hincheymusic.com/ Blog: Notes On Notes http://johnhinchey.com/ Twitter: @hincheymusic http://twitter.com/hincheymusic On Dec 18, 2010, at 12:01 PM, finale-requ...@shsu.edu finale-requ...@shsu.edu wrote: Message: 1 Date: Fri, 17 Dec 2010 12:16:13 -0600 From: Mike Casteel mike.cast...@mac.com Subject: [Finale] Naming PDFs To: finale@shsu.edu Message-ID: 32fb390d-4a5a-42c4-af5a-12cf59c55...@mac.com Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed; delsp=yes Does anyone know of a way to logically name PDFs so they appear in score order within a folder?

Hi all, I think this was discussed here before. I know we all print a lot of PDF charts these days.

Hi Mark, Reinstall, it takes more time at first but you will spend less time in the long run. For some reason migration just doesn't do a good job with midi and audio programs. I've heard this time and again from colleagues and on other forums. And the other benefit you will purge a lot of junk that was on your old system that you really don't need on the new system.

Hi John, Do you run Leopard yet? We have experienced some problems with Apple's text editor under Leopard that aren't there in Tiger; in particular it's possible to even make Sibelius crash when you use the arrow keys while editing text under Leopard. This is due to some nasty internal changes that Apple have made to their event- handling in the Carbon MLTE text editor. And I'm happy to help Darcy or anybody else directly if he wants to email me.

[Finale] Re:DP quickscribe into Finale
Hi Mark et al, As with anything, price is a point of view of how useful it is to you. I know people who think Finale is over priced but if you need the level of power that Finale provides opposed to Allegro, Printmusic or Notepad, you pay the price and are glad to do it. I recently used PDFtoMusic getting dozens of quickscribe scores out of Digital Performer into Finale for a large orchestra recording project. The time I saved using PDF to music was well worth $200. I could not have re-input the notes in 4 times the time. If I'd used a standard midi file (.MID), I would have spent much more time fixing note values. I know, I've tried that route. If you used Mosaic and have piles of PDF'ed scores and need to get them into Finale, I've used it for that too, very useful. The playback of PDF's is an advantage over Finale playback because of the singing of the lyrics alone. I work often with choreographers and directors who want a demo. They can't read a score or imagine where the vocals come in from a demo with say an acoustic piano playing the orchestra parts and an electric piano playing the vocal lines. But even though the vocals from PDFtoMusic sound robotic, they give a great representation of what and where for vocals. So far my clients have been thrilled. By the way, I'm not selling PDFtoMusic just really excited about a tool that saves me this much time and adds this extra service to my clients.

[Finale] DP quickscribe into Finale
Hi all, I've had a chance to work with a new piece of software that is really helpful. It's called PDFtoMusic. It reads PDFs and then generates a music XML file that you can open in Finale. I've used it on a lot of Digital Performer Quickscribe scores and it works great. More accurate that .MID files, pretty much what you see is what you get. You can also use it on PDFs of Mosaic files, Logic etc. As long as the PDF was generated from a notation software. As I understand it reads fonts embedded in the PDF. It doesn't work with scanned PDFs. It also reads and plays back PDF's including singing the lyrics! A bit like Stephen Hawking but pretty cool and useful for quick demos. So, if this something you need to do, check it out. http://www.myriad-online.com/en/products/pdftomusicpro.htm Best regards, John Hinchey John Hinchey Hinchey Music Services Inc. 617 Dutchmans Dr. Hermitage, TN 37076 615-397-3675 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
