Re: [Finale] Winfin2012 crashing

2012-02-07 Thread Richard Willis
Did you install another program on your computer in the last days before you 
started having this problem?  You might want to go to the control panel and 
check the system restore option to see if any programs were installed 
about the time you started to have the problem.  If you did you can restore 
your computer to the state it was in just before your crashes, one at a 
time, reboot, and try and run Finale again.  You will have to reinstall the 
program you deleted if it does not seem to be the one that caused the 
problem.  Sorry, that's all I have to offer.

 That's a safe way of fixing many registry problems.  Hopefully it will 
 work.

 Claude is suggesting that you create a new user in XP, then use Finale
 as that user.  That's a possible workaround for registry problems, but
 running as a new user will make your life more complicated, which you
 don't need right now.

Subject: DON'T TEST: Re: [Finale] copying reel to reel tapes

I'm on deadline but had to jump in here. This tape-baking is something that
I do for restoration clients, and although I replied to Vivian privately, I
have to respond to this message before folks do the wrong thing.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote, on 4/9/2008 5:15 AM:
 2) The baking process he refers to is a last resort; let's start with 
 the first resort.

If you know these are gummy tapes, this is the first resort for some very
good reasons.

 3) Let's ssume you still own a reel-to-reel player that works (not a 
 safe assumption unless it's direct-drive; if there are rubber belts 
 involved, they have a finite lifetime). If you do have one that works, 
 play one of the tapes and see for yourself what condition it's in.

Do NOT play the tapes. Whether they are gummy, flaking, non-Mylar, etc.,
amateur handling can damage them. Even in otherwise good situations, splices
can fail and tangle the tapes unexpectedly. There are ways of handling
tests, and just playing a tape isn't the place to start.

 4) At level one of detioration, there will be drop-outs, because the 
 glue that attaches the magnetized iron particles (which is how your 
 signal is encoded) to the (usually) mylar tape base also has a 
 lifetime. Some of the magnetized iron can literally fall off over 
 time. If you open the box and there's rust-colored dust in it--that ain't
good.

Mylar and usually paper tape binding is good. Acetate tape loses its
binding, sometimes catastrophically. All tape types (and there are
others) can be damaged by test playing, especially for those who used
thinner tapes (especially .5 mil Mylar) back in the day when these were
popular with home recordists or people who wanted to get a lot of recording
time and didn't realize the consequences. Even playing thin tapes can ruin
them linearly with folds and creases. Playing tapes with poor binding can
cause oxide to fall off.

 5) At level two of detioration, which is what you are worried about, 
 serious fluctuations in termperature and humidity (particularly 
 humidity) while in storage will actually turn some or all of the 
 iron/glue/mylar product into congealed gunk. If that's your situation, 
 you need to follow Christopher's instructions. Depending on the degree 
 of gunkiness, baking may or may not save a portion of your material.

Gumminess is not an issue of storage. It's an issue of long-term chemistry
with certain formulations of tape, including very well stored Ampex
mastering tapes from the 1980s. These will go gummy irrespective of how they
were stored; my own top-of-the-line Ampex masters from this era are all
gummy, while most of the Maxell masters are fine.

 6) It's a little late for this, but reel-to-reel archivists have 
 always recommended end-to-end rewinding of all your tapes once a year. 
 That way, if a process of adhesion to the next layer has begun at a 
 low level, they will get aired out. If your tapes are still in 
 playable condition, please consider doing this in the future.

Do NOT -- repeat do NOT -- rewind potentially gummy or flaky tapes. With
gummy tapes, even if the layers are not stuck together (which is rare,
except at splices), this will cause the gummy surface to heat, stick, pull
off oxide and create clots of oxide on the tape surface that have to be
removed by hand. The gummy tape will ALWAYS get caught in the guides and
usually snap and make a tangled mess. With flaky tapes, the oxide will shear
off in great sheets before there's time to stop it.

When I prepare old tapes, I test first, then if working with a tail-out tape
that requires winding to the front, I slowly wind on a special jig with the
oxide OUT and not in contact with any hardware. Handle tapes as little as
possible; clean and repair splices first.

 I have a huge reel-to-reel collection, and the dire predictions about 
 the shortness of the half-life of the medium are greatly exaggerated. 
 The first tapes I made in 1957 are still in perfect condition; and 
 keeping them this way is not the mission impossible it's sometimes made
out to be.

1957 was likely acetate. Depending on how those were stored, they will
either be in perfect condition, warped (they are organic materials), moldy,
flaking, etc. You do NOT want to find out they're about to flake into a pile
of oxide when you're test-playing or -rewinding them.

If the tapes in question are masters or only copies, find someone who has
done restoration and get some advice FIRST. They should give you a free or
nominal cost recommendation on one of your tapes. If they've done gummy or
flaky tapes before, they will know almost immediately.

I've experienced it and it often comes from badly behaved applications which
when they are uninstalled don't remove all registry references, leaving the
OS trying to locate the applications upon startup.  Other causes are often
device drivers which don't uninstall when the hardware is no longer in use,
such as when a video card or sound card is replaced.  Yet other causes are
applications which think so much of themselves that they feel you will
obviously want them to run from the moment you start your computer and so
install themselves in the Startup folder.  Removing the shortcuts from that
folder remedies that situation but others don't install themselves that way
and require the user to run msconfig and disable them in the Startup tab.

Not everybody encounters this slowdown, but many people do.

 That's a little too rigid. I can easily imagine a contemporary

 Beaming can take care of a lot of this, yes.

 Damn.  I thought the bar before the Glorifcation de L'Eule in the Rite 
 was thirteen, but I checked the score and it's in fact eleven.  So 
 maybe twelve is the absolute cut-off beyond which we can't conceive or 
 perceive of non-emphasised beats.  (Wait, I just did perceive them in 
 my faulty memory, didn't I? ;) )

 And maybe the What Would Igor Do rule is actually the one to follow - 
 changing ever bar between 3/8, 2/8, 3/8, 4/8 could indeed preserve the 
 fliudity of rhythm which seems to be required in this particular

 The available defense for advanced jazz chord symbol users is to spend 
 time (a lot of time, unfortunately) creating the chord suffixes you 
 like, saving them as a library and then loading them into new 
 documents with empty chord libraries.

 I don't know the status of the Bill Duncan material, but those of us 
 who were lucky enough to have bought his chord font are ahead of the 
 game in this department.  I hope that Nick and Vince are still 
 pursuing Bill's sister for distribution access to the material.  Until 
 then, much as we'd like to make it generally available, there are 
 legal and ethical obstacles to doing so.

 Of course, you still have to go through Finale's chord suffix editor 
 to change anything you don't like in Bill's suffixes but, for me, the 
 need to do that is rare.

Anyone with a few minutes to spare can look at this file - score view is not
yet formatted for page layout, but the parts are.  Look at the score, then
look at Trombone 2.  (I already repaired Trombone 3.)

Thanks,

 This is not the first time this has happened, but the other instances 
 have occurred in files I had converted from earlier versions, and I 
 attributed the problem to that.  This file was created new - from a 
 2007 template.  (I did copy in some parts form older files.)

 Any ideas?

 This is an ugly business, and I am about as frustrated with this 
 version of Finale as I have ever remembered being in all the time I've 
 worked with it (since version 1!).

 I am forwarding this message to the MM folks.

 When I try to add a smart shape to a score (i.e. slur, crescendo,

 disappears.  Has anyone else experienced this?  If so, is there a 
 quick solution?
 

I haven't run into that on my machine -- and I've opened files from previous
versions as well as files I've started in 2007.

Perhaps a list of other applications you're running at the same time, how
much RAM you've got available, maybe a bit more precision with what steps
you're doing immediately before Finale disappears.

If none of us had been able to use Smart Shapes in 2007 without the program
disappearing, you'd better believe you would have heard of it long before
the end of November!

[Finale] Looking for info on Jeff Heist's transcription of Sing, Sing, Sing Part I

2006-10-13 Thread Richard Willis
Greetings, List,
 
Does anyone know what the sax instrumentation was on this no longer
published arrangement of this classic Goodman arrangement?  I am playing a
concert tonight and tomorrow night and have to sit holding my Bari while the
band plays.  What we have is clarinet, two altos and one 1st tenor.  Was
there a 2nd tenor (or Bari)?  Anyone know where we could get the (possibly)
missing part?
'
Thanks in advance,

Hi, Chuck,

That is my thinking, too.  I thought he might have had a tenor II for this
arrangement, but I can't verify that.  It seems odd to have only three saxes
and Benny.  But, times were tough...

Thanks again...

I'm not sure, but I don't think there was a bari sax in any of Benny's music
from this era.  I think the usual basic section was two altos and two tenors
plus Benny as a soloist.

Hi, Christopher,

That is what I suspected.  I did think he had a 4-man sax section plus Benny
on clarinet.  History wins out on this one and I get to watch the ballet

No bari part. BG's band didn't have one.

However, it WAS common practice right after the war ended and there was
sudden prosperity, for previously 4-man sax sections to add a baritone, who
would read off the Alto 1 book, thus changing all the 4part block voicings
into Supersax-type voicings. So give that a try, or else just sit out to be
historically accurate.

I agree -- text blocks need to have another radio-button feature added to

 Do you want 5 beams, or 256ths? The latter have 6 beams, if I count 
 correctly, and those are not possible in Finale, afaik.
 
 5 beams are possible, but you may have to change the duration for each 
 note manually. You can do that with MassEdit (Change Durations). Enter 
 them as 64th first, than change the duration to 50%.

128th notes can be entered in Speedy from the keyboard, using Ctrl-0 for the
rhythmic value on Windows (I won't speculate on the Mac's equivalent shift
key).

If you enter 128th notes, and then do what Johannes suggests, reducing the
duration by 50%, you get 256th notes, with 6 beams.

I then tested applying duration 25% and then 25% again. I ended up with the
appropriate beams and notes of the appropriate length, and that is the
limit, 10 beams, which would be a 4096th note, or 1 EVPU in length, which is
1/64th the length of a 64th note. So it seems to me that there are no real
practical limitations to Finale in this regard, though there is a limit of 1
EVPU for the length of a note.

But if there's any music that uses 4096th notes, I've never heard of it!
