[Finale] Check Missing Accidentals Plugin?
I spend a lot of time tweaking note durations in my writing. Invariably I find myself deleting notes in a tied group, including the first one. If the pitch that I delete has an accidental attached to it, then I have to make sure I use the show accidental command in simple entry on the remaining notes, otherwise D# will look like D naturals, etc. I do this as I go along, but I do occasionally miss some and have to go through and check for missing accidentals. My question is, is there a plugin that checks for missing accidentals? C. -- Colin Broom -- ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

I have heard them play the overture to Candide, but I have no idea of their range in that piece. OK, first off, range does not depend on the technical level of the player (with the obvious exception of the upper range on brass instruments. I was playing horn notes down into the pedal range and up to Dvorsák's high C when I was in junior high school! So "community orchestra" is not a useful description of competence level. Around here there are some awfully good community orchestra players, many of them with professional training and experience who might actually be earning a living at something else or raising a family. But the repertoire the orchestra plays IS an indicator of how competent the players are. "Candide" is challenging music, both technically and musically, so if they can handle that they should be able to handle any reasonable demands. In other words, don't worry about it, just write the notes you want! But what you MIGHT find is a dropoff between first chair and 4th chair players that's greater than in a professional orchestra, so you might want to think carefully before writing any exposed 4th horn solos. And do remember that there's still a feeling in the horn world that a player might be a high horn player (1st or 3rd) or a low horn player (2nd or 4th) going back to the days when horns were written for in pairs in different keys.

[Finale] check your 2k8a install for proper version
Here is a tip for users of the FinMac 2k8a upgrade. Make sure the upgraded version of Finale is 2008a.r1 in the info window or alternately, 13.0a.r1 in the preview pane. The previous version of Finale was 2008.r2 in the info window and 13.0.r2 in the preview pane. The problem with the 2k8a updater is that it only seems to work properly if your Finale 2008 folder is directly in the Applications folder. I had mine a folder deeper (for music applications, naturally) so the updater made a new folder in the Applications folder with the updated files. I checked my Finale version and was fooled by the ".r2" part thinking it was the second release, that is, Finale 2008a. I didn't check the Applications folder because I thought the update had done its work. That's why I continued to have problems with the program. The updated files were in the Applications folder but hadn't been properly integrated. A second minor problem is that the updater creates a folder called "PreUpdate" which contains duplicates of files that needed to be integrated into other folders. (They are, so no need to do it again.) So, in short, the new version is 2008a.r1 and the older version was 2008.r2 . If you are having problems with your Finale, you might be using the wrong version of the program by mistake. -Randolph Peters ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
