Re: [Finale] Limited Instruments in ScoreManager

I just confirmed that for myself. I neglected to associate bongo drum with the 
generic drum! "Mi dispiace."

It's there in the Drums section -- Bongo Drums.  It shows up if you 
select "Common" or "All" or "World" in the left-hand column and then 
select "Drums" in the middle column.

At least that's what happens on Fin25/Windows.

 Dear Finale List,

Thank you to all who contacted me about helping with my Sibelius conversion 
problem. David Bailey did a full conversion of all my files, so I will now be 
able to have full collaboration with the composer once his computer is back up 
and running!

Re: [Finale] need assistance from a Sibelius user for file conversion

[Michael Mathew]

Michael,

If it's not too late, I try to assist with at least one. I have the current 
version of Sibelius for 'cross pollination' with Finale.
I have done a few xml transfers between the two for a client last year.

Re: [Finale] Stray things on PDF that I can't find

Did you do a screen redraw? When I have been moving around the screen size

 Hi all,

Here's an image comparing export-to-PDF vs. print-to-PDF.

<http://maltedmedia.com/images/finale/export-vs-print.jpg>

The export has those stray "3" characters at the bottom of page 2. I can't
locate them in the Finale file. They appear to be slightly larger versions of
the "3" that I use for tuplets.

I've zoomed out in both page and scroll view to see if they were scattered
somewhere way out of view. No luck.

Any clues on how to find them? And why they might only appear in a Finale
export-to-PDF and not the print-to-PDF? They don't appear on other files that
use the same template.

NEUEWEISE -- FONTS FOR NEW MUSIC AND TRADITIONAL NOTATION

Designed to respond to the diverse needs of New 
Music notation, the neueweise font family 
enhances the look of any score. The Notes, 
Articulations and Pitches fonts can also add a 
modern touch of elegance to your Classical music 
score.

Character charts and examples using neueweise fonts can be found on this page:
http://newmusicnotation.com/fonts.html


The Fonts

Notes -- Noteheads common to New Music, as well 
as rests, and straight and angled flags.

Articulations -- A range of articulations, bow 
markings, fermati, tremolos with 1-5 bars, 
fingernail, guitar pick, slap tongue, Bartók 
pizz. and more.

Pitches -- Standard accidentals and quarter tones 
(flats and sharps), as well as inflected versions 
(arrows up/down) and smaller versions with 
brackets; also round and square brackets for use 
with notes and accidentals.


Use and Design

Although neueweise fonts were designed 
specifically for New Music, they work perfectly 
for traditional notation as well. Some notable 
features of the font set:

- Accidentals contains quarter tones and 
inflected (arrow up/down) quarter tones;
- Inflected accidentals are legible even in reduced size scores;
- Narrower width of some characters saves 
horizontal "real estate" in the score;
- Unified width of many noteheads ensures 
consistent appearance using alternate noteheads;
- A bold and stylish design will make your work 
stand out, musicians love your scores.


Finale Users

Font Annotation files (FANs) are included for 
each font. A stem connection library is included 
with Notes; an articulation library is included 
with Articulations.

When you come to the Library Folder in 2014 there are my customized items as

2014.5 the folder is empty.

Same sort of set-up in the Music Files folder (2014 has a bunch of docs in

Is this normal?
Where did those docs go?

Re: [Finale] Finale 2014 can't find Mute button for playback

[Michael Mathew]

Hi from Oregon!
The score manager is activated with a command K for the mac and for each staff 
line you are able to mute each one or solo each one separately. In Windows it 
might be Cntrl K?
I still haven't figured how to mute or solo all of them at once. I think they 
were able in earlier versions. They only seem to be mutable or soloable one by 
one!
Hope this helps. I know you will hear from several experts. Michael

is done, but I can't get the playback to work properly to begin mastering a 
sound file... as in, when I press play on the player, I get no sound coming 
out. I have an inquiry into Finale, but I see that others have posted this on 
the Finale Forum, but I haven't seen a solution yet.

I recall that someone said that they were successfully using the Garritan 
sounds with Finale 2014... I would love to hear from you, especially if you 
figured out how to solve this playback issue.

(and please, as much as I respect all of your input, please no replies about 
the fact that I'm using software instead of real musicians... I have no budget 
for that.. wish I did!... and I'm working on deadline with a new client... so, 
please only write to me if you have an answer... fingers crossed that someone 
does!)

Composer

"Scurria's music strikes me as a journey to discover heartbreaking beauty. The 
climaxes of her work aren't so much dramatic as rapturous. Furthermore, no 
moments in the music here merely mark time or lay there. A tremendous technique 
infuses the music, but Scurria never uses it to cover up a paucity of ideas. 
She's an honest workman - the real goods." (Classical Net Review)

"If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy, if a blade of grass 
springing up in the fields has power to move you, if the simple things of 
nature have a message that you understand, rejoice, for your soul is alive..."

Re: [Finale] latin percussion

[Michael Mathew]

I have worked the percussion tutorial several times over a period of several 
years. I have also used the 3rd edition of the easy guide to music notation 
from the berklee press. I have been successful a few times. Also, there is a 
plethora of outstanding tutorials on various latin percussion instruments by 
all kinds of incredibly talented percussionists scattered all over the internet 
with lots of information and tips. I have had to resort to all of this, as well 
as what the online finale manual has to offer in a desperate attempt to learn 
how to use this aspect of finale and some success!!

I hope this helps! It can be done, I know, I am sure? Good luck and have 
patience with yourself as well as with everything finale!

Hi Gerald,
I've done this when, for one reason or another, HP frustrates me, or controls 
don't work exactly as planned. For example, for violin harmonics, I like to use 
a non-vibrato piccolo.

The easiest way to do it is to set up the different sounds you want on 
different tracks. You can put an invisible expression in (either blank, or with 
a name that you hide). When you make the expression, under playback, you set it 
change the channel. Finale/Garritan can have four banks of 16 channels each, 
numbered (under playback channels in the the expression playback section) 1-16, 
17-32, 33-48, 49-60. So you set up the Aria player with exactly the sound you 
want on separate channels, then create the channel-changing expressions, then 
pop them in. And don't forget to create an expression to change back to the 
primary sound!

Re: [Finale] Garritan keyswitching without HP

[Michael Mathew]

Hi,

I seem to be able to obtain the effect using the expressions as provided by 
Finale?

And I didn't have to use the keyswitches.

Hi all
This may be really old news to you all but I am flummoxed. 

Is there a way to create an expression tool keyswitch for the Garrison 
instruments -- violin arco to pizz. (for example) --- without relying on the 
human playback function to recognize it?  

HP is a end result product I'd rather avoid while composing.  

I have a bad feeling this is only solvable via layers.  True?

Re: [Finale] Mark Johnson's Finale 2014: A Trailblazer Guide -- a bookworth considering!

[Michael Mathew]

I purchased the Berklee Press 3rd edition of their book Finale, an easy guide 
to music notation, and went through each chapter from the beginning of the book 
to the end and found many sections illustrating the many ways of using the 
score manager in real situations. I use this manual as a reference work for the 
many parts of Finale.

Take a look at it in a book store and see if it might help.

I learned a lot and am grateful for them making it available to the rest of us. 
I began with Finale 3.2 and found this to be the next best book beside the 
regular manuals. I also find the online help to be very useful.

Re: [Finale] Finale playback help

[Michael Mathew]

Greetings!

I purchased the Berklee School of Music's book on Finale and worked through 
most of the book. The book is updated for Finale 2012 and I picked up a ton of 
different ways of using Finale. There are some excellent suggestions on how to 
work with the percussion section, also, of course.

I have an iMac with the most recent OS and Finale 2012c.

Hi Scott,

I'd be happy to talk about this with you, but I'm afraid I can't be all that 
helpful, since I don't often write for percussion (and no, I don't do much 
sophisticated stuff bypassing Finale playback).

What I have done is, on the percussion track, play up and down my midi keyboard 
until I hear the sound I want, and then enter that.  It often creates a bad 
notation, but the sound is fine.  A few years ago, the last time I used 
percussion, I did wade into a combination of maps and, I think, staff styles 
(for Finale 2011 -- I didn't upgrade to 2012, which handles some of this 
differently). I don't remember what I did -- maybe it was simply to convince 
Finale to display almost everything as the equivalent of treble-clef-middle-B?  

Beyond this, I think your best bet is to write to finale@shsu.edu (the 
non-finale-sponsored email list), and ask for help there.  There are some 
really good finale people there, some of whom have figured out the percussion 
(though they do complain about it). If you can't post as a non-member, or can 
post but not see responses, let me know, and I'll forward you things.  You may 
also find someone there who will be willing to talk you through this.

The last-ditch option is to have two files, one for playback and one for 
printout.  You could work almost exclusively in the playback file until you are 
ready to print, and then go back and fix the percussion so it looks good.  I 
have done this also.

Hope you are well.  I saw your name pop up in a summary of the Met commissions 
so far. I was sorry to see that they aren't going further with your project (at 
least that's what the article seemed to suggest), but I'm guessing you must 
have other folks lined up, either committed or soon to be?  

All best,
David

Re: [Finale] Garritan question - Big Band brass sounds

[Michael Mathew]

Craig,

If you engage the articulation tool you can right click on the selection box 
over the note and call up the edit articulation definition dialogue where you 
find the various parameters to edit: Symbols, Symbol Options, Playback Effect, 
Positioning, etc.  The playback effect is where you can experiment with various 
effects. I've tried using these things and find my patience is kind of tested. 
I am not very patient! Ha!
 
You might have found it already, though.

Re: [Finale] F2012: How to stop chord playback for specific instruments?

[Michael Mathew]

Dear Craig Parmerlee,

In the score manager each instrument has a triangle to the left in Fin2011 and 
in Fin2012 under the name column which you click. There you find the separate 
layers, chords, and expression playbeci that can be turned off and on.

I am looking at Fin2011 and Fin 2012.

Does that help?

Re: [Finale] Conversion to single layer

[Michael Mathew]

Greetings Richard Huggins,

http://finaletips.nu


Jari Williamsson has a plugin called merge layers I believe. You might take a 
look and see if that'll do you.

The Finale support group only take a minute or two to reset your authorizations 
with no trouble.

I have done this a couple of times, at least!

Re: [Finale] adding drum set staff

[Michael Mathew]

Toro,

I would like to know this secret also.

I have tried all sorts of tutorials and reading the manual and all I can 
discover is that, if everything else is OK, then the stars must be aligned 
properly to be successful!

I have had little to no success for years!

iMac 24 inch, fin 2012c, 4g memory, etc.

If you come upon the secret for a successful drum part, let the world know; 
starting with this group!

Thanks,

Re: [Finale] Page layout behaviour

[Michael Mathew]

Stephen,

1. what shows when you've checked margins is not the same thing.

2. view menu; grid/guide; check, show guides
 
3. view menu; show; rulers

4. with cursor in rule, double click and the blue line with a heart shaped 
arrow head, will appear on the page under all tools, including page layout.

My first attempt was with the margins showing. It took Jef's reply to help me 
make the connection.

Re: [Finale] Finale Digest, Vol 115, Issue 6 - Odd behaviour in Page Layout tool

[Michael Mathew]

Stephen,

I noticed that behaviour with the margins outlines and I think that what I was 
observing initially when I tried to duplicate your problem.

I wasn't aware of how the real guide stays visible through everything and now, 
thanks to you and Jef, I know!

Thanks, Jef.

I wasn't totally activating the guide line; I only had the margins showing.

I just activated the guidelines and double clicked on the ruler bar to activate 
the guide line and it stayed visible with the page layout tool.

How do I set up a temp file to illustrate a point?

Hello, everyone,

Isn't there a chase capability/setting in the playback window?

Re: [Finale] erratic cautionary accidental plugin

[Michael Mathew]

Dear Patrick,

On a more positive note, I have seen many published scores of music written in 
the last hundred years wherein the particular notation conventions that are in 
play are displayed on separate first pages of the published music that leave 
little to speculation. This is a more useful approach, I believe?

Re: [Finale] erratic cautionary accidental plugin

[Michael Mathew]

Patrick,

Your lackadaisical attitude towards cautionary accidentals will lead to many 
misinterpretations of your music. 

I find that the cautionary accidentals leave little to speculation as to 
whether a note continues to be a flat , natural, or sharp and eliminates major 
confusion for the interpreter. I have found a major offender in the published 
music of Hal Leonard. There are many areas in their music where no clear 
solution is evident including a reading of the vertical instance. I believe 
that the non-use of cautionary accidentals will leave a lot of musical texts 
unreadable in the future.

The notational reading and realization of early music is an excellent example 
of trying for years to decide which of the interpretations of a squiggle is 
correct. Is this not true in this case?

Cautionary accidentals are necessary to avoid any confusion about the pitch of 
a note, thank you very much! Don't be lazy!

Re: [Finale] LARGE TIME SIGNATURES

Hi, Dr. Weinstangel

Have you tried the document options time signature dialogue? I believe that is 
where you can create various configurations for the time signature.
Dr. Hal Owen, http://pages.uoregon.edu/hjowen/, has several Final tutorials 
including enlarging time signatures.

Re: [Finale] Distance between lines in a TAB staff

[Michael Mathew]

Greetings, Klaus!

I had some experience with this when I assisted Bruce Eisenbeil, an outstanding 
guitarist from the list. The dialogue for this has been transferred from the 
edit staff menu to the scoremanager window on the instrument list page. In the 
lower right section of the window is a drop down menu for various staff layout 
options wherein you are able to increase or decrease the distances between 
various staff layouts as well as add or subtract lines.

This might help you solve the problem.

Re: [Finale] Joining files.

[Michael Mathew]

I tried to attach to the frame attributes and wound up with a problem I had to 
solve the other way. I probably missed something?

I usually have to use the expressions and add them to the parts after breaking 
the link to the score for that particular expression. I just had to go through 
this process for a brass trio by Alan Pierce and this seemed to be the easiest 
solution for me at the time.

Thanks,

Re: [Finale] finale / 3rd party font management incompatibility

[Michael Mathew]

I haven't noticed slow downs too much so far. My scores have been for small 
ensembles recently.

I also moved up to OS X 10.8 when it came out and haven't observed any other 
major problems.

Re: [Finale] FinMac2012b - kernel_task going crazy

[Michael Mathew]

Darcy,

I don't know if this is relative or not because I am not good at computer 
programming, etc.

I'm wondering if DiskWarrior is supposed to help with slow downs and so forth?

I have tried it on general principles once in a while and it seems to help 
sometimes.

I also use David Pogues early MAC OS X suggestion to 
restart, hold down command s until it boots into the shell, and then at the 
command line run fsck (hyphen)-fy and hit return.

Then type reboot and hit return/enter.

I have used the toggle up until now. I can now see the immediate effect having

easily and precisely.

As with anything, I suppose, each person's mileage will differ?

Re: [Finale] Multiple versions of Finale on one computer

[Michael Mathew]

I use 2011 and 2012 on my iMac and have had older versions at the same time for 
use with clients. I also have an external drive I can boot into OS X 10.6.8 
anytime I might need it for even earlier versions.

Re: [Finale] text blocks with inserts disappear when edited

[Michael Mathew]

I have an iMac from 2007 with 4 gigs memory
I set up a file with no libraries and the insert text process worked as you 
described in your original email.


open new doc from default; or create "new doc with no libraries" and 
create a text block with "Part/Score Name" insert

I can make the text disappear within the file or edit text dialogue box.
Is it because there are no libraries?

Let me know if you need more information.

Re: [Finale] ADDING STAVE after formatting parts

[Michael Mathew]

Greetings Kim,

I have recently been working with score manager as well, and have successfully 
added parts in this manner to a score that is already formatted. It helps to 
work with a copy of the file until you determine how well it is going to work.

(I am working on an 24" iMac with the most recent version of Lion and Fin2012a)
Let us know what works for you!

Re: [Finale] Awkward key signature menu

[Michael Mathew]

Bill,

I, too, have had a confusing time with the major and minor transpositions, etc. 
until I encountered an instructor whose rule of thumb is to ignore the minor 
key signatures and work with the major as though they are simply numbers of 
sharps or numbers of flats which seems to avoid the awkwardness of major or 
minor.

Re: [Finale] Patterson Plugins V4

[Michael Mathew]

Thanks for the new version and considered yourself indulged!

I just sent payment via PayPal and saw no optional information section to write 
in my registration number. How did you send the registration number? All I can 
see is that I registered for version 3.10.

Thank you,

Michael Mathew
