[Finale] MicNotator set-up difficulties

Hello! OK, I've read the manual, both OLD and paper, followed the directions, and still cannot enter notation using my clarinet with either Speedy Entry or Hyperscribe.  I can set volume level in the "Enable MicNotator" window with no problems, and, yes, I checked the "Enable MicNotator" box. Wha

Re: [Finale] timing

The problem with the timer function of Finale is that if you make timing changes with the tempo tool, it doesn't take those into account. As long as you don't use the tempo tool, the timing seems to be accurate. Jonathan Smith wrote: > Bob, > > Finale has its own little timing calculator buil

Thanks everybody for the information and the great images. I have posted Michael's with correct attribution on my web site. Hope that is OK, Michael. Can anyone point me to a source which tells us about Bach himself creating this image? I found it in my 1980 copy of Grove, but did not find any i

You need to read the manual for the fantom and also need to learn how to work with bank change messages. In finale you can define an instrument list (once you figure out how to get the bank change messages to work) and save it as a library to import into future documents (and even to save in y

You might try "Finale: An Easy Guide to Music Notation" by Thomas E. Rudolph and Vincent A. Leonard, Jr.,from Berklee Press.  It's fairly comprehensive (750 pages), and comes with a CD-ROM containing examples, templates, libraries and other goodies.  I'm not sure if the latest edition covers Fi

To accomplish this in Finale would require double printing to get the landscape and portrait orientations on the same page. But it would only take two printings (assuming you measured and aligned things carefully enough) but you would have to use a font program to create a backwards C-clef. Y
