[Finale] New plugin: Page Mover

I have now put a new plugin up at the website. It allows you to change your physical page size while keeping the relative width and height of your music the same. It also has options to compensate for booklet creep. All this is explained in the User Help pages at the website. As always, comments,

Re: [Finale] Incorrect transposition ?

I don't think you understand the transposition properly then. It sounds as if you have set up the tenor sax staff so that when Display In Concert Pitch is NOT selected, they display in treble clef. If the concert key of the music is C, these should display in D. It sounds as if you have set

Re: [Finale] System size for parts

It happens I've just been mucking around in system scaling issues. Effectively, there is no difference between using the staff height or using the percentage. They combine to form an effective percentage that behaves the same, irrespective of which way you enter it. (Finale even shows you the effe

[Finale] System size for parts

I am experimenting with the changing settings for extracting parts (according to the advice of list gurus). I have always used a page reduction of 82% for letter size parts, with pretty good results. However, I understand the advantages of consistent text sizes for titles, headers, etc. that

[Finale] Incorrect transposition (rev.)

Maybe I can give a clue as to how I got this behavior. I set up staffs as alto, alto, tenor, tenor, and bary saxes, but on the tenor staff I was playing around with the clef tool, and accidentally set it to bass. Well, you would think that would be a "no-op" since it already was a bass clef (i

[Finale] Incorrect transposition ?

I just ran across something really peculiar. Dare I call it a "bug ?" Anyway, in this song file I have, two of the staffs are set up as tenor saxes, which means they transpose up a 9th when notated. However, when I switch between "display in concert" and otherwise, the transposition is an 11th

Re: [Finale] Playback voices -- how to change?

What do you mean when you say "change the staff to trumpet?" You don't change the staff to anything using the staff tool, for your playback purposes. Simply go to the instrument list and change the patch for each staff to the sound you want -- nothing will change about the notation, just the

To answer Mark's question: Fractional time signatures are not just a Boulez notation. One of my favorite jazz artists, Don Ellis, had an early album called "Live in 3 2/3 / 4 Time!" Yes, MusicXML can handle fractional time signatures. To use the example of three-and-two-thirds quarter time:
