[Finale] Problem with chord symbols using Jazz font

2004-02-04 Thread BillSincl
I have no trouble using the chord tool with the Maestro font, but when I use the Jazz font I have a problem with minor seven flat five chords. Normally I use a lower case B for the flat symbol, which works fine for the Maestro font, but it puts a "little B" when I use the Jazz font. I would like

Hi again;   I was able to use the Measure tool to change the horizontal size of a measure, but so far I have not figured out how to change the placement of notes within a measure. For example, suppose I have a quarter note, then half, then a quarter. I would like to move the half note over to the

[Finale] How to reduce note crowding?

2004-01-05 Thread BillSincl

If you set the repeat tool to "loop indefinitely," it will go into an infinite loop when you try to play it. The result is you can never play it. In fact you have to abort the program to stop it, possibly losing recent changes. This bug has been around since I can ever remember. Why don't they FIX

I have already alerted the people at Coda Music about this. Convincing them it's something worth investigating, well that's another matter. They are reluctant to change anything, even to go from "incorrect" to "correct." They said they don't want to tick off their users, although I would think that
