RE: [Finale] RE: PDF to Finale

Hi Jim, I think most scanning programs need the TIFF files to be uncompressed. When you save as TIFF, hit the Settings... button and choose "None" for both monochrome and grayscale compression. This is how it works in Acrobat 5; different versions of Acrobat may have a different user interface. N

RE: [Finale] RE: PDF to Finale

I tried the following experiment. 1. Created a document in Finale. 2. "Printed" it to a PDF file. 3. Using Adobe Acrobat, saved the once-Finale file as a TIFF, and then 4. Tried to open it in Sharp-Eye. Sharp-Eye balked because TIFF was saved using LZW compression which Sharp-Eye apparently has n

[Finale] RE: PDF to Finale

As was mentioned, you can either print the PDF files and convert them to TIFF format, then read them in with a music scanner. If you are on Windows, many people find the combination of SharpEye Music Reader with our Dolet for Finale plug-in produces more accurate results than the alternatives. But

From: "Burt Fenner" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The long 32nd stub is caused by beaming over rests being in effect. It looks much better if you also check 'Display Half Stems for Beamed Rests.' Burt: It was not so much first that it should look better, but the fact that a 16th followed by a 32th rest a

Thanks much for this referral to Oasis Font (http://www.oasisCD.com/music/FF_templates.html#1A>). It should work great. For others who may be curious, this font is offered free in both PC and Mac versions. It includes various forms of c in a circle, p in a circle (serif, sans serif, various thickn

Re: [Finale] Beam over rests

Hello, Ole. The responses you have gotten so far are correct in that this is major deficiency in Finale. I don't think there is any need for an additional global setting, but a way to shorten individual secondary beams is definitely missing. But no one has told you the best workaround. This work

Re: [Finale] Beam over rest

Ole, Finale does not offer the possibility of automatically extending complete secondary beams over rests while keeping the partial secondary beams (the 32nd stub in your example) short. Here is a workaround for the case you mention: - in Document Options/Beams make sure Extend Secondary Beams

Hola, David. Of course I was not recommending this method at all. I was just giving a tip on converting the PDF files on a Mac. I always prefer to input music with speedy entry at 3000 notes/hour ;) Saludos, Javier. > And we all know how inaccurate music scanning still is, plus we know all > the

David: Ok, let me specific a bit further what the problem is. Enter, one 16th note, one 32th rest, one 32th note (that's also called a dotted rhythm), select Document option/Beams/check Extend Secondary Beams Over Rests, to beam the 16th together and over the rest, but unfortunately the 32th st

Re: [Finale] PDF to finale?

And we all know how inaccurate music scanning still is, plus we know all the information which is NOT converted by scanning. So even following Javier's method there will still be much additional entry and much cleaning up for accuracy. I have found that takes longer than entering by hand to beg

Re: [Finale] PDF to finale?

PDF files can be converted to TIFF files with Graphic Converter or Photoshop. And in Mac OS X with the Preview program. But then you´ll have to use a music scanning module to convert them to music files. >> on 11/17/03 11:14 AM, Reuven wrote: >>> Is there a way to import .pdf notation files into

Re: [Finale] Beam over rests

You don't say which version you are using, but at least in Fin2004 there are two checkboxes in Options/DocumentOptions/Beams -- one is Extend Beams Over Rests and the next is Extend Secondary Beams Over Rests. I don't remember when that was introduced, but it's there in Fin2004. There are also

[Finale] Beam over rests

Hi all, I guess this has been up before, still I can't believe, that it is not possible to shortend the secondary beam after a rest. The problem comes when you have Extend Secondary Beams Over Rests as a option in Document option/Beams, that means that the secondary stub also is extended over
