Re: [Finale] trill

Harold,


Under the articulation tool, there are actually four different trill signs, 
including trill-to-flat, natural, and sharp upper note I tested these just now, 
and each one plays back differently, as I suspected. I even forced a 
trill-to-unison by attacking a B-natural with a trill-flat sign.


If you're looking for quarter-tone trills, that's something I can't answer; 
hopefully this helps!

I actually tried to edit the smart shape itself but did not succeed. I  
also tried a "Smart Playback" plugin from TGTools. I got the semitone,  
but the trill sounded to fast, unatural, and I couldn't figure out how  
to adjust the speed. Will try again today.
Thank you!

[Finale] Trill to notes in Finale 2010?

2009-09-30 Thread Dan Tillberg
Hi folks,

I wonder if there is some more elegant way of achieving trill to notes
in Finale 2010? I have used the method described in older entries: place a
grace note, move it to the right of the principal note, shorten the stem
of the grace note (btw isn't there a way of removing the stem rather than
shortening it if I want to create a stemless note?), place parenthesis as
articulations around it.

I also learned from the older entries that there is (or was?) a TG Tool
for this but I can't see that it shipped with Finale 2010. And if I
understood it correctly, the TG tool way of doing this suffered from the
same problem as when done manually: when executing a note spacing, the
position of the trill to note including the
parenthesis are reset to be to the left of the principal note. Very annoying.

Any idea of a more elegant and reliable way of doing this?

Thanks

Hmm, I use Bill Duncan's Finale Productivity fonts, which contain  
parenthesised noteheads with and without sharps, flats and naturals,  
positioned automatically as articulations. Since I check the box in  
Music Spacing to take articulations into account, I get good spacing  
this way.


Grace notes will break if you ever use them in a linked, voiced part.  
It's an acknowledged bug, and not very far up on the list of things  
to fix, apparently.

The Engraver font contains the same characters. I guess you could define

As for TGTools, the parenthesized trill notes tool is part of the full

[Finale] TRill Closing Grace Notes

2008-05-06 Thread Horace Brock
I'm sure that's not the proper name for what I'm talking about. I'm in
the key of B minor, and I'm trilling on a C#. The next note is an F# a
fourth higher. At the end of the trill are two grace notes, a B# and a
C#. These are between the trilled note and the next note.

I don't know the correct name for that, but how do you get Finale
(Windows 2k8, BTW) to fo that? The best I've been able to do so far is
two grace notes attached to the F#. But the C# and the F# are in
different measures, and the grace notes are on the wrong side of the
bar line.

Can anybody help with this?

I only have WinFin2006c and this is how it works there:
 
I would do this by entering the trill as normal, then selecting the simple

Let's say your trilled C# is a whole note. Enter it as a half note.  
Then add the B# and C# as sixteenths, hit ; (in Speedy) to change  
them to grace notes, then left-arrow back and change the half note to  
a whole note. Then you will have two trailing grace notes properly set.

Re: [Finale] trill notation question

2005-10-24 Thread bill
I don't remember who brought it up (Karen, I think?  I apologize!), but I
really like the idea of tr 1/2 and tr WH, which I have never seen
before.  It makes perfect sense to me, and is so easy, but it is not (as of
yet) common practice.  I understand that a tr implies trilling diatonically,
but so many composers are writing chromatic scores these days that even a
trill must be defined precicely every time.  Unfortunately the parenthesized
target note is a pain in the neck to do, even with TGTools, having to
repair the parenthetical target note all the time (one more thing to
forget to do when you're under the gun).  Just a comment...

 [...]
 
 While I agree that nothing is technically wrong with the tr b
 notation, I wouldn't call it the true belt-and-suspenders solution.
 The way I see it, if you don't mark the trill at all, the player is
 naturally going to trill to Ab.  What are the alternatives?  Without
 any markings, there's no reason why a player would think he's supposed
 to go to Abb (ie, G nat), and trilling Gb to A nat is going to feel
 very weird, so of course he'll do Ab.
 
 If, on the other hand, you actually mark a flat in there, the player is
 going to double-take and think, wait, why did they write a flat there?
 It's already flat. Am I supposed to go to double-flat?  And then the
 player is overthinking the situation and unsure what to do, whereas if
 you'd said nothing at all he would have been fine.
 
 So I'd say that the simple solution is to not mark the trill at all,
 and the belt-and-suspenders solution is either a flat in parentheses or
 a spell it out with a cue note.

Trills always go to the next note higher within the key, unless altered.

In your situation the note you want it to trill to is part of the key, 
so there's no need to do anything.


Simply writing Tr over a Gb while in the key of Ab will get you your 
Gb-Ab trill.

Accidentals on a trill are just like those on a note. If you're in F 
minor, normally you don't need any trill accidental at all to get an 
Ab. If however there was an A natural (or sharp!) earlier in the 
measure, then you need a flat by the trill to cancel it--just as if it 
were a note. Note, btw, that you can always put in a cautionary trill 
accidental, just like any other cautionary accidental, by using 
parentheses.

I'd certainly write tr flat.  Or, depending on the context, use a small 
notehead to indicate the upper note.  Tr natural would be just wrong - a 
natural sign does not indicate an interval.

If you actually have a 4-flat key signature, then no indication is  
necessary other than tr, as trills are diatonic by default.


This is the key piece of information.  Can't believe I didn't know  
that.  So the accidentals are only used when something other than the  
next higher diatonic note is needed.  That's clear enough.


Thanks, Christopher

Chuck


But if you really want the belt-and-suspenders approach (so your  
pants REALLY won't fall down!) then tr b would certainly be  
correct. Tr natural would be definitely odd, as it strictly means  
trill to A nat, but since it is never seen in those circumstances,  
the player might be confused and think you meant to G nat.


Those accidentals mean trill to the next upper note name, but with  
the alteration indicated. You can see that in the key of C concert,  
a clarinet trilling from D to Eb would have tr b marked in  
concert, but on the part (in the key of D, trill from E to Fnat)  
you would have to mark tr nat. One more argument in favour of  
transposed scores, IMHO.

Well, it certainly depends on the tonal context of the trill, but I'm 
having a hard time understanding where G flat trilling to G natural 
(A double flat) would be the default interpretation, or even one of 
the plausible interpretations.

I don't consider a Gb to be at all distant in a context of f minor/Ab 
Major -- it would simply indicate a shift into Db (less likely, Bb 
minor), which is not far at all from either Ab or f minor.

Use TGTools to create a parenthesized trill note. Check the

The only drawback is that you will need to remember to always repair  
trill notes after music spacing.

tr flat?   Just what do those accidentals on trills indicate?






I'd certainly write tr flat.  Or, depending on the context, use a  
small notehead to indicate the upper note.  Tr natural would be  
just wrong - a natural sign does not indicate an interval.




The note head method certainly removes ambiguity.  Thank you.

Re: [Finale] trill notation question

2005-10-23 Thread Karen
I definitely like the cue note approach when in doubt.  There is  
another convention that we use in film music when notes are changing  
rapidly and are all trilled.  Especially where there isn't a given  
key and it would be extremely time consuming to put cue notes on each  
note.  Tr 1/2 and Tr. WH are acceptable in these cases.


But again, if there are only a few notes I use cue notes in  
parenthesis.  :-)



Best,

Karen

While I agree that nothing is technically wrong with the tr b 
notation, I wouldn't call it the true belt-and-suspenders solution.  
The way I see it, if you don't mark the trill at all, the player is 
naturally going to trill to Ab.  What are the alternatives?  Without 
any markings, there's no reason why a player would think he's supposed 
to go to Abb (ie, G nat), and trilling Gb to A nat is going to feel 
very weird, so of course he'll do Ab.


If, on the other hand, you actually mark a flat in there, the player is 
going to double-take and think, wait, why did they write a flat there? 
 It's already flat. Am I supposed to go to double-flat?  And then the 
player is overthinking the situation and unsure what to do, whereas if 
you'd said nothing at all he would have been fine.


So I'd say that the simple solution is to not mark the trill at all, 
and the belt-and-suspenders solution is either a flat in parentheses or 
a spell it out with a cue note.
