Re: [Finale] Need help with HP LJ 5000 and MacOS Mojave

[j...@thomastudios.com]

Yup.  The fact that is does indeed work on your wife’s computer is telling.  
I’m still running Sierra due to incompatibility here with APFS and older OS’s 
on my network.  So I can’t help with Mojave sadly.

Worst-case scenario is that your Jet Direct card is incompatible or toast; but 
I kind of doubt the latter.  I had a 5100 that lost all ethernet connectivity 
following a power outage.  I purchased a Jet Direct 635 card from Amazon that 
fixed my issue, and it was faster, 1000 baseT versus 100 for the old 615 card.

Did you print a config page and does it print out the Network info Thomas 
alluded to?  After my power outage, a config page showed now JD card installed, 
even tho is was indeed there.

Re: [Finale] Opera Score Order

[j...@thomastudios.com]

For all the clients I have done operatic scores, it’s always been according to 
the voices, not their roles.  Sopranos, Altos, Tenors, Basses.  If there 
happens to be a chorus involved, ala SATB, I have always grouped them 
separately, together, under the role voices.

Re: [Finale] Fin 25 Keyboard Shortcuts not Working on Mac

[j...@thomastudios.com]

I have had similar experiences in 25 on a Mac Pro.  The only thing that solved 
it for me is a complete system reboot.  Once I launch Finale after that, 
everything is back.  Give that a try.

Re: [Finale] MIDI Clean-Up

[j...@thomastudios.com]

First, make sure to Favor Sharps.  Then, using the Selection Tool, select the 
measures you wish to change, and then Respell Note…

Should do it.

Do the opposite if you need flats.

Hi Chuck,

I never heard back from Ryan so if you still want the cartridge, it’s yours.

Touch base with me once you get back and settled and we’re work out a meet.

Hi Chuck,

Ryan Beard got in just ahead of your email.  But he needs to confirm whether it

I’ll be in touch.

Re: [Finale] LaserJet toner cartridge

I doubt it.  I purchased a refurbished LJ5200dtn to replace my 5100, and it 
takes a completely different toner cartridge.  Probably the same as the 5200L.

Hey guys,

I know many here have used and may still be using an HP LaserJet 5000 or 5100.  
My 5100 recently gave up the ghost here, requiring a replacement.

I have a genuine HP C4129X toner cartridge, upopened and in the original box,

With Finale not running, place Robert’s plugin bundle into the Plugins folder.  
If you’re on a Mac, this will be in your user folder, Library, under

Re: [Finale] Enharmonic key signature?

[j...@thomastudios.com]

I got this to work correctly, but it’s way convoluted.  In the staff 
transposition dialog, from Score Manager, change the staff transposition to 
Other, uncheck Simplify Key, put 9 in the interval field and -10 in the key 
alter field.  Leave it in treble obviously.

I did this just now in Finale 25 and I got the proper transposition.  In 
reading the online manual for this dialog, the part pertaining to the interval 
and key alter, I got a headache.  So I had another cup of coffee and moved on.  
Whew!!  This should be easier (and maybe it is).

Re: [Finale] COPIED SEGMENTS GET TRANSPOSED!

[j...@thomastudios.com]

I am on a Mac, but the first thing you may want to check in SM is the settings 
for the clef.  I have encountered this numerous times with Contrabass, etc.  
And it happens no matter what the transposition is.  Worth a quick look.

Re: [Finale] Finale 2012 centering a single whole note in a measure

[j...@thomastudios.com]

If it’s not automatically centering when you invoke the spacing command, you 
can select the Measure tool, click once on the lower handle that appears, and 
move it manually.  If there is no lower handle, just click on the upper one.

Re: [Finale] Tempo Mark Placements

You would need to edit the category for your tempo marks and select what staves 
you want them to appear on.  You probably need to edit your staff list to check 
your desired staves to show.

HTH.  If you need more specifics Neal, let me know.

Re: [Finale] Polychord Symbol

[j...@thomastudios.com]

One possible view on this would be to attempt to provide a chord symbol that 
starts to approach a specific voicing, which a polychord attempts to achieve.  
Kind of like writing Bb/G instead of Gm7.  This tries to have a triad over an 
alternate bass note instead of some hooved-animal player mashing down a 4-part 
voicing that might not be what is intended.  It’s not a cure-all, and a tad 
anal, but it does attempt to go in a specific direction, IYKWIM.  I have done 
this on rare occasions in the past and it’s a small bit of insurance if you 
don’t know your players.

Writing Ab13(b9)/C leaves the player to muck things up dramatically since it’s 
a somewhat complicated chord symbol with lots of voicing possibilities.

Just my 2¢

Re: [Finale] Polychord Symbol

[j...@thomastudios.com]

The selections you’re looking for is in the Chord Definition dialog.  Select 
Alternate Bass in the middle of the dialog and underneath that a popup menu 
will then be available.  Select Under Root.  Don’t worry that Finale calls it 
an alternate bass; it’s semantics.

Re: [Finale] Dynamics placement

[j...@thomastudios.com]

Additionally, you could change the settings for the dynamics already in the 
file without having to delete the old ones and reassign new ones.  But it’s 
tedious; you have to edit each dynamic individually for its positioning and set 
it where you prefer.  You may also have to tweak the position in you file after 
doing this.

Add the high C, then add a B a minor 2nd below it, sharp it, and then change

Re: [Finale] Lyrics positioning

[j...@thomastudios.com]

I’m pretty sure lyric positioning is a global attribute.  All or nothing.  The 
only option I can think of is position individual syllables after entering.  
Not exactly the best solution if you have many of them.  But it is a ‘solution’ 
nonetheless.

Re: [Finale] Keyboard short cuts for entering numbers

[j...@thomastudios.com]

You could do it a couple of ways Martin.  Set up numbers as articulations or 
expressions and then program the metatools for the appropriate number.  I do 
this all the time for fingering in students’ pieces.  If horizontal alignment 
is important, I would use expressions over articulations.

Re: [Finale] rests in parts and multimeasure rests

[j...@thomastudios.com]

You can’t get the multimeasure rests in the parts because you used real rests.  
Finale is doing what it’s supposed to do.

If I understand your question, you want two different multimeasure rests, 
correct?  If so, you can edit individual MMR in the part and change it to 
another shape you already have.  Right-click the measure for the change and 
select Edit MM.  You can then change the shape.  You should already have the 
shape created in your file.  If you hit the Select button, it will bring up the 
default shape in Shape Designer. Not what you want.  So delete the number in 
the field and then Select.  You will be taken to your shape library where you 
can select the alternate MMR you want.

I just tried this in Finale 25 and it works on a case-by-case basis.

Can’t remember if Staff Styles do this in F2008, but you might look to see if

Yes it is Barbara.

Use the Selection tool and highlight the measure with the multi-rest you want

dialog you can adjust the vertical positioning of the number.

Re: [Finale] Fill with rests

[j...@thomastudios.com]

Hi Barbara,

When I do this in 14.5, using Speedy Entry, in the too many beats dialog, if I 
tell it to move the extra notes into the next measure, it does just that.  It 
only fills the rest of the measure when I exit the Speedy edit pane, not 
before.  I do have fill with rests checked.  Are you doing this differently, 
Simple entry perhaps?

Re: [Finale] Expressions

[j...@thomastudios.com]

This has been a known bug in Finale for years, and I have been bitching about 
it at least that long.  Somehow, meta tool settings or something gets munged 
and no matter what expression you try to enter, you always get the same one.  
For me, it’s the last expression I entered, whatever it was.  I have been 
around this muck with tech support many, many times, and I did finally get them 
to admit they were aware of the problem.  But that was it.

It used to be that you could quit and reboot Finale and that fixed it.  Then it 
started requiring a complete Mac reboot.  The last time it happened to me that 
is what it took.

In earlier versions of Finale I was able to fix it by first making sure I was 
saved, and then I ran my hands flat over the keys horizontally several times, 
hitting every key.  When I then tried to enter an expression, it worked.  But 
this was back in 2012, 2014, and maybe 2014.5.  I haven’t had it happen in v25, 
the latest…yet.  I do also recall that the last time it happen, this trick 
didn’t work.  But I don’t recall what version I was in at the time.

Re: [Finale] REPEAT SIGN INSIDE A BAR

[j...@thomastudios.com]

I’ve done this occasionally, and the only way I’ve been able to achieve it is 
my creating a measure expression and placing it in the file.  If it’s a score 
with multiple staves, use an expression set for All Staves.  It’s a bit of a 
kludge, but it does work.

Re: [Finale] Two notes versus one note

[j...@thomastudios.com]

You don’t specify how you entered the two notes, different layers or different 
voices.  But there is a setting under Document Options > Music Spacing >

Re: [Finale] How to eliminate parens in continuation of 8va

[j...@thomastudios.com]

You could create a new 8va Smart Shape and change the continuation setting for 
them.  But then you would have to replace all of them manually.  Not fun if 
there’s many of them.  I thought one could edit the default appearance to 
these, but I just checked and couldn’t find a way in.

I would try to lobby the client into realizing how wrong he is.  But then…

Re: [Finale] Hiding a staff in part of a piano score

[j...@thomastudios.com]

You don’t say which version of Finale, or which platform.  But it sounds like a 
Hide Empty Staves or Optimized staves situation.  If you own TGTools you can 
fix it with Staff List Manager. 

I had a similar issue with staves not showing up in a file I’d been working on 
for a long time.  There turned out to be a fair amount of corruption in the 
file that no one could fix.  I still haven’t fixed it for good, but TGT was my 
means for getting things back.

More info on your situation could prove useful.

Re: [Finale] Lyrics word extension through double bar

[j...@thomastudios.com]

Wow, I didn’t realize this until I saw your message.  I tried it and you are 
correct, a double barline does remove an auto word extension.  I had to 
recreate the extension line manually.  And if the extension spans two systems, 
and you manually created the extension, it will span the systems.

The current version of TGTools, 2.80beta3 doesn’t create one either.

I’m sorry I don’t have anything better.

You could go the the site, keyboardmaestro.com and send an email to Peter to

I do run W10 on a virtual machine and I have yet to find a comparable macro

Re: [Finale] Key signature

Being that this is a completely redundant notational request, my thinking is 
the best and fastest way around it would be to create an expression for the 2nd 
time signature, using the default font so it matches.

Re: [Finale] 11x17 pdf

[j...@thomastudios.com]

You could change the part size to 11x17, but something I do all the time with 
my student music which is still 8 ½ x 11 since the younger ones tend to lose 
one page.  What I do is to change the paper size only to 11 x 17, landscape 
orientation, and then print 2-up from the print dialog.  You then send it to 
PDF instead of actually printing.  I use Acrobat 9 Pro to open it and then 
change the page setup again to 11 x 17, landscape.  Print.  Works fine on my 
system, Finale 2014.5, macOS 10.10 Yosemite.  Depending on your system, YMMV.

Re: [Finale] move. align notes

[j...@thomastudios.com]

Measure tool.  Once selected, two small handles will appear at the top of the 
barline, topmost visible system.  Click on the lower handle and you can 
selectively move notes horizontally.  Just be careful with multi-staved systems.

Is this what you’re asking about?

Re: [Finale] (Not) reducing text expressions

[j...@thomastudios.com]

This is another one of those really tedious workflows in Finale.  I get around 
this by using a macro program called Keyboard Maestro.  It basically solves the 
issue and only takes moment to program.  I’ve even taken this approach when 
doing a specific editing routine for a client, even if it meant just for that 
session.  It saves a bundle of time if you’re repeating this over and over and 
I just delete the macro when I’m done.

Something to mull over, perhaps?

Re: [Finale] Double sharp gone?

[j...@thomastudios.com]

You don’t say how you’re entering the notes, nor what OS you’re using, Mac or 
PC.  But, if you use Speedy Entry, place your cursor on the note and hit + 
twice, you should get the double sharp.  If you still get ‘garbage’, it sounds 
like a font issue.

[Finale] Finale 25 test

[j...@thomastudios.com]

I installed the demo version of Finale, since MM said it’s fully functional for 
30 days.

I opened an opera file that has been causing distress lately.  A big file, 
7.5mb for Finale, nearly 1400 measures, orchestra and about 24 vocal 
characters.  Opening the file took a bit less time than Finale 2014 or 14.5.  
Saving the file again took about 13 seconds vs about 20 on older versions.

Then I decided to seemingly tax the application some.  I tried insert one 
measure stack around m26; totally arbitrary.  After 11 minutes I force quit the 
program.  Don’t have time for this shit.

So far, I am not impressed at all.  I was hoping 64bit would make a difference, 
but not much as far as I’ve gotten.

Re: [Finale] Finale 25

[j...@thomastudios.com]

To be honest, for me, new features are at the bottom of my wishlist.  I need 
Finale to run FASTER, especially with larger files, and more of the existing 
bugs quashed.  Anyone know if a demo version is available to try?

Robert, I found your discussion about internals within Finale most compelling.  
Please feel free to enlighten us more with those techoid details.

[Finale] Finale vNext

[j...@thomastudios.com]

OK.  I’ll get the ball rolling here.  Just received my notification that the 
last version of Finale is now available.  I rarely jump on things right away, 
preferring all the rest of you early-adopters to be extended beta testers! 

For $149 uprgrade fee, this version, for me, has to be much FASTER, especially 
with larger files, all or most of the old, ancient existing bugs expunged (or 
close to it), on and on.

Let’s start the discussion folks!

Hmm.  It almost sounds as if something in your MIDI stream is generating a

Re: [Finale] Chord question

[j...@thomastudios.com]

Raphael poses a good question as to exactly what notes you’re using.

But, if you absolutely need that chord symbol, you’re going to have to create 
the chord suffix yourself.  It’s not really a standard chord symbol and it 
doesn’t exist in any Finale suffix library.

There is an option in the Group dialog that allows you to have a bracket if

Re: [Finale] mid-measure generated courtesy clef

You said you wanted a mid-measure bass clef for one measure, right?  Then 
Finale restating the treble clef at the next measure is as designed.  Am I 
missing something?  If you get rid of it, the next measure continues in bass 
clef.  Isn’t that what you wanted?

Re: [Finale] Why Is It So Hard to Add Instruments to an Orchestration?

[j...@thomastudios.com]

Not meaning to hijack this thread, but I agree with Jon about 2014.5 being an 
absolute slug when editing a large orchestral file.  I am working on an opera 
that ballooned to 7.3MB from 3MB when I converted it from Finale 2012 to 2014.  
Everything takes an eternity when editing: changing tools, copying/pasting even 
one measure, especially editing lyrics in this file.  For me and my current 
deadline, it’s completely unusable.

I’m curious if the new 64-bit version that isn’t out yet will remedy some of 
this.

Re: [Finale] Combining text and Finale

Yeah, I forgot about that limitation in Finale, and I wish they’d do something 
about it.

What you have to do to make things easier for you is to lay out each example 
your want to import into your new document on its own page.  Save the Finale 
file under a new name to keep your old formatted on intact.  It’s not all that 
difficult; you just need to plan ahead do to Finale’s limits.

Re: [Finale] Combining text and Finale

[j...@thomastudios.com]

I have done this many times in the past.  And you’re right, trying to do it in 
Finale is a complete waste of time and effort.

I used InDesign but any good writer should work.  I exported examples from 
Finale as a tif and then imported into the final doc.  A while back you could 
also export as an Adobe Illustrator file, but that option is long gone and it 
probably wasn’t used by many.  I think tif is the way to go.  Use the Graphics 
tool in Finale and you should be fine.

Re: [Finale] Keyboard Maestro question

[j...@thomastudios.com]

Hi Chuck,

Which version of Finale?  Measure Attributes is greyed out for me if I haven't 
selected the measure first, either with the Measure Tool or the Selection Tool. 
 Did you select a measure before evoking the macro?  

I’m using 2014 (not .5) and I probably have my setup a tad different from yours 
since pressing the spacebar does nothing for me, but Tab move thru the various 
text windows.

Whenever I have to select a checkbox, I make sure to reference from the corner 
of the active front window.  That tripped me up several times when I first 
started in KM.

Re: [Finale] QuicKeys not working

[j...@thomastudios.com]

It does everything and more.  The most recent update, v7, added tons of new 
features.  But, to be honest, most of them are a tad ‘geeky’.  But, that being 
said, it’s solid, well-written application.  You will need to learn its 
interface and how it does things, but it’s not a steep learning curve, IMO.

I’d say go for it.  There might be a non-crippled trial available for download. 
 It’s been so long for me I don’t remember.

I feel your pain Chuck.  I was an ardent QK user until a while ago when I 
realized it was becoming completely deprecated, and it is basically dead.  I

Incredible application; well documented and supported.  Alas, you will have to

Re: [Finale] OT Music theory question

[j...@thomastudios.com]

Lon is right.  Being a keyboard player myself, I’ve always considered this Bb/C 
chord symbol as a means to dictate a specific voicing, moreso than C7sus4 or 
even C9sus4, which is what the added D infers.  Variations of density can be 
had by Gm7/C and Bbma7/C.  All of these tend to render a specific voicing, and 
they are all really just a C11 chord.  But if you write that symbol you’re 
going to get some earless moron adding and E to the vertical stack, which is a 
train wreck.  Bb/C is by far the most direct symbol.

I just did this for a client’s work template.  Go back into the Define Staff

Re: [Finale] Score Printing Question

[j...@thomastudios.com]

I have to agree with Christopher on 11 x 17 tabloid.  I do print a LOT of 
orchestra scores here, and I also have the luxury of a coil binding machine, 
and it has always worked out fabulously.  So ask your questions when 
researching a print shop and be sure they have everything they need on hand 
without outsourcing from there.

I don’t know NYC, but I did live and work in LA for 21 years.  But keep in mind 
I left in 2001.  There was a great music print shop in the San Fernando Valley 
called Valle Music (sic).  Before the digital age they were the go-to place for 
score printing, binding, and overall supplies.  I know they’ve pared back from 
that with the onslaught of computers and I don’t know if they’re still around.  
They were on Riverside Dr in Studio City, just west of Laurel Canyon.

Judy Green music was another source that might still be around.  Like I said, 
this was all 15 years ago.  Good luck.  HTH.

Re: [Finale] Organ, hide pedal staff

As a possbile workaround:  how about applying a Staff Style where you set it 
for force collapse. I do this all the time to hide staves in a score where the 
measures contain cue notes, thus disallowing hiding since there are actual 
entries in the measures.

Re: [Finale] Finale failings

[j...@thomastudios.com]

You’re probably right as to older charts Craig.  I’ve seen it before as well, 
but not for a long time now.  There might also be some fundamental difference 
in regions at play here.  When I worked in LA, minor 7th chords were written as 
Cm7 or Cmi7, where as on the East coast it was notated as C-7.  Still that way 
Darcy?

I even did a session once where major 7th chords were notated a C7, but with a 
French 7 having a small horizontal line thru it.  The first run-thru was a 
major train wreck for me until I listened and figured it out.

Your polychord example to me would imply exactly what you state.  A C triad in 
the LH and D in the RH.  There would also be the variable of inverting the RH 
triad.  I would most likely not invert the LH triad, but, ya never know.  
Everything is played in context as to style and sound.

Re: [Finale] Finale failings

[j...@thomastudios.com]

Darcy is spot on.  Polychords are one chord over another, frequently just two 
triads, separated by a horizontal line.  They can intimate a larger chord form, 
but are usually used when a specific voicing or sound is desired.  As we all 
know, a diagonal line is for an alternate bass note, which again, frequently 
points to a specific chord voicing.  Gm7/C is really a C11, but if you write 
the latter, you’re going to get some moron putting the 3rd in, which conflicts 
with the 11 in a dominant 7th chord.

Re: [Finale] how do I delete #1 measures?

[j...@thomastudios.com]

Good idea Christopher.  But with a large copy paste, it might be a better idea 
to copy and Insert to assure all key and time sigs make it over.  Copy and 
paste is very buggy in all versions of Finale, especially if any tuplets are 
involved.

Re: [Finale] Help! Lost place to get scroll spacing in page view again

[j...@thomastudios.com]

This may answer your question and help.  I go back in forth between the two 
view frequently when adding cue notes to a score.  What I do in either view is 
simply hilight the measure stack by Cmd-Clicking on a measure.  Then I hit 
Cmd-E to switch views.  It goes right to the higlighted measures.  This is on a 
Mac, but it should be similar if you’re on Windows.

Re: [Finale] Rests

You could use the Move Rests plugin, which is especially helpful if you have a 
large range of measure to move rests in.  I use it all the time.

Re: [Finale] Finale Digest, Vol 145, Issue 23

[j...@thomastudios.com]

Hi Jim,

I feel your pain.  So much so that I went online, seeming to remember I had 
once dl’d the Finale 2012 menu myself for offline viewing.  Alas, I couldn’t 
find any link.  But I did find this which may be of some assistance for you:

Note. You are not required to go online to view the Finale User Manual. To use 
the version installed to your hard drive, choose Finale 2012 > Preferences > 
Preferences and select Folders. Uncheck Use Online Help if Available and click 
OK. The local version does not include all interactive Flash content.

HTH.

Re: [Finale] Force Full Staff/Group Names

The easiest and most direct way to accomplish this is by using Staff Styles.

Re: [Finale] Bb7b4

[j...@thomastudios.com]

You’ll need to go into the chord suffix editor, delete the ‘b’, select the 4, 
and check the box marked flat.  That should get you what you want.
