RE: [Finale] Organ dynamics

[Roger Cain]

It is reasonable to have different dynamics on different staves and even at
different locations.

On most most electronic organs all manuals (staves) and the pedal organ are
under expression.

Even without expression pedal(s), presets allow instantaneous registration
changes to manuals
which can change volume and tone dramatically.

Subject: Re: [Finale] Organ dynamics

Wow. Didn't mean to start up such a debate!

Perhaps I should clarify my situation. I'm engraving a piece for organ by a
dead composer. He has marked dynamics in the music. Sometimes there's one
marking under the top staff only. Sometimes there's a marking under all
three staves. Sometimes there's a marking above the top staff only, because
I assume there wasn't any room to put it elsewhere.

Since I don't have much experience with organ music, I don't know if the
placement of the dynamics is the result of a lazy copyist (very likely
considering other aspects of the MS), or if the dynamics mean something
specific to the performer when placed in a particular location.

I'd prefer to place the dynamics consistently throughout the whole work.
There are no indications for the stops.

 I've often thought that a good way to test musicianship is to give a 
 player a passage with no dynamics, tempo marking, articulations or 
 bowings and see what they make out of it.

 From a performers perspective, what you have said is fine, no 
 problem.
 But the question about indicating performance markings was from a 
 composer who' apparently has ideas as to where he want dynamics.  If 
 he wants to  have the piece performed with HIS interpretation, then 
 he best place the marking in  the score, IMHO.

 Again, you're mixing contexts. The comment you quote was from my post 
 about Bach's music, not about the original question.

 Don't pay any attention to non-organist comments, they can be 
 misleading.

 If that's referring to me,

 No, I was not referring to you, but to John Howell's previous comment 
 about thinking it best not to include dynamic markings, but that he 
 was not an organist.

 I think that in the present instance, if you're an engraver of a MS by 
 a dead composer, it's best to leave it alone and let the performer 
 decide, rather than introducing your own judgements on what the 
 dynamics should be, which may or may not be what the composer 
 intended.

 So, I would agree 100% with John's remarks, which are very much in 
 line with normal practices in editing/engraving music of dead 
 composers where there are ambiguities. If one were to choose to supply 
 a dynamic marking anyway, I think it would be best to clearly indicate 
 that it is an editorial edition, thus leaving it to the performer to 
 choose to honor it or not.

 But I'd tend to lean towards just leaving it out entirely, as John 
 suggests.

 Most importantly, some editorial principles transcend the specifics of 
 the instruments involved, and the editorial philosophy behind John's 
 suggestion is one such, in my opinion.

 Like any music for any instrumentation, write what you want to hear 
 it sound like. Romantic period instruments may have swell boxes, 
 making the stops of  that manual capable of dynamics from p to f, 
 and many organ have been adapted. Stops may be applied to only one 
 manual or the pedals independently. There is usually a crescendo 
 pedal which adds stops up to full organ.

 Usually? This sounds exactly like something a non-organist, or an 
 organist of every limited experience, would say. A large number of 
 instruments lack swell boxes and electronic assistance like pistons 
 and toe studs and the like.

 Yes, in my experience organs usually do have a crescendo pedal. No?  
 As
 I said, they only sometimes have swell boxes.  Am not sure what you 
 are finding fault with.

 Hah! I have played on far more instruments that lack any form of 
 dynamic control, because I've been trained almost entirely in older 
 music, and played on historical instruments. So, I've personally 
 played on more organs *without* any expression pedals or toe studs or 
 pistons.

 The point is that there is no usually about it. Each organ is 
 different, but within a particular tradition of organ building, one is 
 likely to find particular characteristics.

 I won't go into the details of which traditions are which, but if 
 you're a non-organist composing for a

There was a thread back a while ago that addressed this.  Seems to

There is a work around.  Check the backlog of messages or go to the MM

RE: [Finale] Reregistering

[Roger Cain]

In Vista, you need to run as Administrator to get registration to work. 

Right click and choose Run as Adminstrator from the context menu.

That should solve the problem.

You could also turn off user account control (UAC). However, that defeats
part of Vista's security and puts it back like WinXP where the default that
everybody and everything runs with full privileges. Several folks including
David Fenton have pointed out that is a very unsecure way to set up your
system. Vista's UAC is easier than having to log in to a separate
administrator account to install and register. So far, so good for me.

RE: [Finale] OT: Mac Pro unveiled

[Roger Cain]

It seems that Video Card/Display adapter reviewers assume (without providing
evidence that I can find) that 2D performance is acceptable on all adapters
from 2003 on. Adobe says that ...hardware, operating system settings, and
software settings...(and a) damaged font.

Doing stuff other than gaming or viewing such editing, manipulating, and
saving images is essetially ignored in the reviews I have found. It is
likely that GPU/CPU tradeoff occurs in these tasks ignored by reviewers but
central to this thread and the tasks that most of us perform.

1. 2006 QA to the point: Topic Title: What matters in a video card for 2D
windows acceleration?
http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.cfm?catid=27threadid=1908172 
refers to Adobe's site:
http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/331412.html


2. 2004 Article
http://www.a1-electronics.net/Graphics_Cards/Various/2004/Review_Dec04.shtml
What will you be using it for?
Is perhaps the first question asked. What will the intended use be of your
ATI or Nvidia video card. Will you be mostly working with 2D applications or
3D such as games. If you are only looking to run say 2D office applications
such as Corel WordPerfect, Photoshop and alike then you do not need to buy
an expensive top of the range card but something from the mid-range of ATI
or Nvidia will give you the all the performance you need and more for 2D
work while still giving you acceptable 3D performance.

3. 2002 Article.
The issue may be drivers as in the article linked and quoted below.  ...
it's a real problem. Now that graphics chips are getting the internal
precision to produce some truly stunning images, we'll want to capture that
high-quality output and store it.
http://techreport.com/etc/2002q3/agp-download/index.x?pg=1
..today's graphics subsystems have gobs of bandwidth, from main memory
(2.1GB/s or greater) to the AGP bus (1GB/s for AGP 4X) to the graphics
card's own internal memory (20GB/s in some cases). Graphics cards can render
hundreds of frames per second for display. But once the frames have been
sent out the RAMDAC to a monitor, standard operating procedure is simply to
discard them. 

That's all well and good when all you want to do is play video games, but
for other uses, it's a real problem. Now that graphics chips are getting the
internal precision to produce some truly stunning images, we'll want to
capture that high-quality output and store it. Unfortunately, even the very
newest cards and drivers don't seem to be up to the job. Despite over 1GB
per second of potential bandwidth on the AGP bus, current cards transfer
data back into main memory much, much slower than needed. At least, that was
the claim of more than one person who wrote in response to my article.

RE: [Finale] Changing verse number

[Roger Cain]

A simple test:

In WinFin 2004 I entered a few measures of verse one as one one one
one and verse two as two two two two. I then click assigned them. I
then went into Edit Lyrics and cut (Ctrl-x) and pasted (Ctrl-c) verse
one lyrics into verse two and verse two lyrics into verse one. The
changes took effect when I exited the Edit Lyrics dialog box.

When I finished, verse one had the two two two two and verse two had
the one one one one. Based on this simple three measure test, I
believe that you can change yours also. However, I would make a backup
copy of the file before trying it.

What you might consider is entering text in the verse 4 box which says
