Does Finale no longer include the excellent tutorials? It would seem that either it does not, or Will has not worked through even one of them. -- David W.

Thank you and with best regards, In simple entry there is a grace-note button. Click that and every note you enter after that will be a grace note until you click on that button to turn off the grace-note function. It even beams them together when you do more than one. I was going to suggest that you read the user manual, but it is horrible in indexing grace notes and simple entry, so I can't even in good conscience tell you to read the manual. -- David H.

Will Denayer wrote: Dear all, I would like to ask two questions again. It's a bit difficult explaining it in English. 1) OK, suppose I am writing in 3/4. On the second beat of a measure I want nine sixteen notes to fill the second 'time' (beat) of the measure, so, the measure would look for example like this: 2 eight notes, 9 sixteen notes, 1 quarter note. How can I write this? You would enter the two eighth notes for the first beat; use the tuplet tool for the second beat, and enter a quarter note for the third. However, there are some who would say that nine sixteenth notes in the time of a quarter is not the best engraving technique. Since, if one desires a triplet in the time of a quarter note, one uses eighth notes, and if one wants a quintuplet in the space of a quarter, one would use sixteenth notes, for nine subdivisions of a quarter note, 32nd notes would be the more generally accepted value than 16th notes. 2) I am writing in 3/4 and I want 5 sixteen notes and one quarter note on the first beat. The sixteen notes are like a grace note, but there is not one, there are 5 of them. The measure is for example like this: 5 sixteen notes one quarter note, one quarter note, one quarter note. How can I write this? To convert a note to a grace note, one presses the ";" key immediately after pressing the note; the sequence I would use to create a quintuplet grace note would be to enter the first note and immediately thereafter press the ";" key. I would then enter the second note, and immediately after that, press the ";" key, and then use the "/" key to join the two grace notes with a beam. repeat ther process for the other three grace notes. Then enter the quarter note the usual way. ns ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
