Dear Johannes,
I have read your excellent web-page on "How to Make Finale look Professional" and have implemented some of the changes in my document. How do I save these changes as the deafult - my settings revert to the old default when I start a new file.
The "Document Options" are greyed out
And what international convention adopted this "rule?" Which rule
number is it, anyway, and what book can we llok it up in?
If we are not ever to syncopate rests, then I gather that the following:
16th-note/8th-rest/16th-note is never to be written? What's up with
that, it's written all the t

The rule says: do not ever syncopate rests!
so
[8.r][16] is correct
[16][8.r] is wrong,
it should be
[16][16r][8r]
and in many cases
[8r][16r][16] makes things easier to read in orchestral context.

The 'big triplet' at the end of each measure is correctly notated- crotchet,
quaver-quaver (tied), crotchet. Problem is the two qs are spaced too
I would like to learn more specifically about what difficulties your
students are experiencing. I have recently done a series of composition
workshops with students (aged 12 to 17) here in Budapest at American and
German schools. All of them use Finale on one platform or the other,
all are self-t

Finale's libraries are supposed to do this. The problem is that there are
so many different library types, that you must load seven or e

Hi Allen,
This is just to add a voice to what Phil Shaw wrote below. After the
fact global style changes which could be applied to existing files
would be a great boon.

If so, they are doing so prematurely. The issue is not really Finale v.
Sibelius. The real issue is the availability of X versions of such staples as

I have a new computer running on WindowsXP.
Although I have no problems playing sounds, I cannot input from my midi keyboard.
When I go into MIDI Setup the input selection box is empty.
I have not the faintest idea how to tell Windows XP to input midi, (or to do anything else for that matter) in
Go to options -> Documents Settings -> Music Characters. There you can
set the default measure rest to what symbol you like (or have in your
music font).

Dear list:
Is there a way to make the default rest in a measure the double-whole rest
rather than the standard whole rest? If not, is there a way to
automatically add double-whole rests to every empty bar in a score? I tried
the standard "fill with rests" but it doesn't affect empty measures.
Hi Allen,
Your request for suggestions on defaults gives me a chance
to hop on a soap box for my main wish-list item.
You seem to be thinking in terms of improving the
hard-wired defaults. What I'd like is a "style"
mechanism that lets a user develop a set of defaults.
You probably just said
I didn't see anything specifically discussing this situation in Stone's
Music Notation in th e20th Century, but on page 112, in the example at
the bottom, he DOES use a dotted-8th-rest following a 16th-note to
complete beat 3 of the measure.

Hello Allen,
here are a few things I would suggest changing in the default settings:
1. Beaming style
None of the beaming styles will give perfect results in all
situations, but the style "flatten beams based on extreme note" comes
closer than the "standard note" style that is used at present

That is perhaps as ridiculous a statement as I've read on this list (and there

Concerning dotted 16ths, I believe one of the references is fairly clear about
it. I know David Bailey said Gardner Read was silent, but I thought I remembered

Gardner Read doesn't mention this situation in his book Music Notation.
Ted Ross doesn't show your specific example, either.
In my opinion the dotted rest should be used in both cases, since it
completes the beat clearly. If it is okay to use it where the rest
comes first, then it is okay t
