Re: [Finale] FINALE in two monitors
Same with a PC, or you can buy a second video card (probably needing a PCI one, as your primary one is likely to be using the AGP slot - this can be a much cheaper option). Either way, Windows should recognise it no problem, and you set them up in Display Properties. Make sure the PCI card is in the slot closest to the AGP slot, and try to get matching chipsets on the two cards to minimise problems that can arise. (Ask me for details if any of this is too full of jargon ;) ) As for using Finale, it's wonderful - I've got a maximised window showing almost nothing but the score, and the second monitor has all the toolbars floating, along with TGTools dialogs etc. The only problem is a small bug which causes the toolbars to reposition themselves onto the same monitor as the main window when you shut down and reload Finale, but it's only a slight annoyance having to reposition them. Having two monitors is great for other things, such as having Acrobat and Finale both running fullscreen alongside each other. Darcy James Argue wrote: Mac or PC?

Re: [Finale] FINALE in two monitors
I use not two, but 3(!) monitors on my Mac. The largest (and central) monitor displays my primary score file. The smallest displays tool pallettes and plugin dlgs. The middle-sized one displays a reference Finale file (such as a sketch file) or something else entirely, such as email. Windows is less amenable to this setup due to WinFin being an MDI app. That is, displaying two different Finale files on two different monitors entails enlarging the main Finale window to be so big it covers both monitors. This is unfortunate, because the cracks and crevices would be useful for accessing desktop icons, as they certainly are on Mac. Furthermore, it is a bit awkward. Dual monitors are a significant reason Makemusic should provide an SDI option for Finale. However, even on WinFin, plugin windows float free of the main Finale window, so it would certainly be possible to drag them independently to a different monitor. Tool palettes can work the same way as well, although you have to fight them to keep them from docking with the main window. ___ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

Re: [Finale] FINALE in two monitors
I have read some comments about the possibility of this. I have, however, been unable to find a definitive procedure. Can someone help me on this? If you have a Mac Powerbook, plug another monitor in the video port and away you go (this is what I do). If you have a recent desktop mac like a G5 or late G4, the video card has two ports and with the right adaptor (depending on whether your monitors are CRT or LCD) you can run two out of the box If you have an older desktop mac like an earlier G4 tower, you can buy a second PCI video card like the Radeon 7000. If you have a PC - dunno! I suppose you just buy another video card. -- Rocky Road - in Oz Fleeing from the Cylon tyranny, the last Battlestar, Galactica, leads a ragtag, fugitive fleet, on a lonely quest, for a shining planet known as Earth. ___ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
