This might be easier to answer if we knew what kind of OS Angelo Gilardino
uses. I am probably not the right one to answer this as everything works
fine on my computer (I'm using Acrobat 6 pro/WInXP). In this version you can
set the resolution up to 4000dpi by choosing the press configuration in
I tried this on my FinWin2k4 with your file and it places it correctly regardless of
how much I reduce the staff size. Maybe I am misreading how you said to reproduce this
problem or maybe you need to look at some of your settings. I'll explore it more when
I get home.

I am chiming in late on the overworked 8va vs. leger line fight:
As a performer, I have sometimes observed other performers, good and bad,
amateur and professional, ignore 8va markings when it suited their purpose.
(Such as I don't like this piece, and I don't feel like working that hard

Ray, your statement is curious to me. First I'm not exactly certain what you
mean by mere alteration of the printed pitch. What's mere about it? Are
you suggesting that a ledger-line note is more respected than a note with an
8va on it?
Second, are you saying that the performer might arbitrarily
Hey! Don't shoot the messenger! I've seen it happen, that's all. I've seen
8va markings for extreme ranges ignored, occasionally, sometimes
accidentally, sometimes on purpose. They seem to be taken less seriously,
sometimes, by some players, then are leger lines.
A typical example: Tuba part
Geez, Roy...you took my message way wrong. When I said curious, that's
exactly and only what I meant. Nothing more and most certainly nothing
adversarial!
That being said, I can relate to the notion of the player second-guessing
something that seems to be an example of an arranger or composer who
I wholeheartedly agree with Ray and others. Players- especially 'non-pros',
tend to treat 8ves (up or down) as optional. And to Richard- Yes, I'm afraid
that outside of the do it or you're fired world of the pros, leger lines
are more respected than 8ve etc.
And as for the scordatura- try getting

Some of these are file extensions:
Jpg (same as jpegs), TIM, gifs are graphic file extensions
PDF Adobe Portable Document Format
WAV is an audio file
EPS Encapsulated Post Script (I think that's correct!)
I'll let other chime in on the rest.
By the way, a google search will uncover a wealth on

Keith,
Go to www.acronymfinder.com or www.dictionary.com and type them in. Do a
google.com search on them. Look them up in your Finale manual-- ;-)

I'm glad you can hear every tuba pedal A that goes by in every crazy piece
of new music that gets played, because our conductors haven't been able to!

It's not about the pedal A, it's about the attitude -- we'll change
whatever the composer wrote /
Well, my name's Ray, but gosh, Robert, we all make mistakes. I'll ease off

But you asked where the conductor was. Conductors simply do not hear
everything!
Yes, the single performer's attitude, in this one example, was a bad one,
obviously. I was simply giving the list some advice on how a composer
could guard against such a performer's attitude in this type of
