Re: [Finale] Copying bug?
I'm having a similar problem with the filter set to 'all', yet articulations don't retain their position, but revert to the default. - Nigel Hanley On 13/08/2010, at 11:30 AM, Giz Bowe wrote: > I'm copying a measure stack with ties on both the first & last notes of the > measure (to the preceeding & following measures).

It's a bug with copying ties over barlines, introduced several years back. Complain, please.

[Finale] Copying bug?
I'm copying a measure stack with ties on both the first & last notes of the measure (to the preceeding & following measures). When I paste, one set of slurs is missing. It's a repeating pattern, so I tried including more measures in the copy to get the ties - of course, these have ties to the preceeding & following measures also - still one set goes missing, meaning I'm having to manually input ties - again. The mass copy filter is set to "all." Am I missing something (besides ties!), or is this a bug? I'm using FinWin 2010. BTB, this is probably the first year I won't be upgrading.

Re: [Finale] Copying bug?
Christopher, I can confirm. I re-created the problem starting with a document without libraries. I am also on 10.3.9, Finale 2006c. Your instructions are perfectly clear. One extra detail: I note that if there is a partial measure selection (sometimes it looks as if whole measures are selected, but there is in fact a partial measure selection), then the articulations and expressions *do* get copied. Maybe this is what is happening for the person who tried this at tech support. To make sure, they should de-select partial measure selection before copying. But I think the person at tech support isn't trying hard enough anyway. I don't understand why the first reaction from tech support to a bug report is almost always denial. When I beta-test for Finale I send in many carefully researched bug reports and always get thanked for them. When I send the same sort of detailed report to tech support, I get the impression that I am a nuisance. They don't seem to like the use of the word "bug", they make comments that have nothing to do with the problems, they give me advice I don't need, instead of just going through the steps I give them, noticing that these steps do reproduce a bug, and saying "thank-you". Tell them that other users can reproduce the problem. Mention me by name - I like annoying them!

I am on MacOS 10.3.9, Finale 2006c. Create a score that has at least six staves. Enter music in the first measure of staff 4, add articulations and note expressions, then copy it to staves 5 and 6. Transpose staves 5 and 6 an octave higher and lower respectively so that you can determine what gets copied correctly. Select measure 1, staves 4,5,6 with the Mass Edit tool. Next, opt-sh click on staff 1. You will see the Items to Copy box, Select all except Measure Items>Barline, Key, Measure expressions, and repeats, and set clefs never to copy. Hit OK. All should be well, as everything should copy as expected. NOW, undo that and with the SAME three staves selected, opt-click on measure 1 staff 2 instead of staff 1. You can opt-sh-click as well and OK the dialogue box - it makes no difference on my machine. The notes copy to all staves correctly, but the note expressions and articulations do not, but only for Staff 2. Now undo that and opt-click on staff 3. NOW the articulations are missing on Staff 3 AND Staff 4! Apparently if one staff is overlapped, you lose things on one staff; if you overlap two staves you lose items on two staves. Can other Mac users confirm, please? And maybe see if this happens on Windows as well? Thanks.

Re: [Finale] Copying bug?
Hello Christopher, I have followed your instructions, and I can reproduce the exact buggy behavior you described. The people at MakeMusic probably just don't want to acknowledge the problem, but I don't know why. I did it both with my own template file, AND with MM's default file. I can't believe they are ignoring this. Maybe they just decided that 2006 developpement cycle was over and are focusing elsewhere, leaving us with this unfinished product.
