[Finale] quarter note = dotted quarter note playback?
I'm trying to get Finale to play back a piece of music that goes from 2/4 to 6/8 and I want it to do dotted quarter note = quarter notebut the human playback doesn't seem to catch it. ideas/ ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
Re: [Finale] quarter note = dotted quarter note playback?
I'd try putting in a hidden expression for playback where the dotted quarter had the same mm values as the preceding half note. Seems to me that should work.

Man, thats lamewe have all this other fluff in Finale, but something like this you have to hack around to get the playback to work correctly?

let me actually look at it {I tend to not do that kind of tempo changes
much...]
Okay - it looks like you can easily assign 'dotted quarter note = X in
the Tempo pull-down, so your task should be very simple.
I just had never needed that particular expression, and was not certain
if 'dotted-quarter' was an option. It is.
In FinWin2010b, at least. :)

Re: [Finale] quarter note = dotted quarter note playback?
Well, it is true that it will do the same thing as I want, assigning
the dotted quarter the same numeric value as the quarter, but ideally
i think in a score you'd want the graphical dotted quarter = quarter
and then when it switches back to 2/4 a graphical quarter = dotted
quarter. Just seems that it was overlooked in Finale playback, and it
is rather common I think...

Re: [Finale] quarter note = dotted quarter note playback?
Eric, When I want to do this, I use text expressions, defined for playback. In this case, I'd have three expressions. One is a quarter note, which is not defined for playback. The other two look the similar--(= 000) and ( . = 000) where 000 is the value representing the tempo. These two have playback defined, so that one sets the tempo of the quarter note to the designated value, and the other sets the tempo of the dotted quarter note to the designated value. This works well with earlier playback, but should work with human playback equally well. ns ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

Just seems that it was overlooked in Finale playback, and it is rather common I think... The graphical version is reasonably common, and one could certainly define an expression ( d = d. ) and assign it to playback with a change of tempo by defining the playback capabilities of the expression. The reverse ( d. = d ) is equally trivial. ns ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
