Hello, No Finale content here, but I'm hoping someone in the vast pool of musical
wisdom
on this list can help me with an inquiry--
Toward the end of his life, Haydn printed up a visiting card which has a 4-bar tune, with
text "Hin ist alle meine Kraft, alt und schach bin ich" ("All my strength
Hello, I have hundreds of measures full of 16th notes, in 18/16 time sig. I'd like to
convert all this to 16th-note triplets, in 3/4. No problem changing time sig and
converting to tuplets one tuplet at a time, BUT: is there a way to select a region and
"tupletize" the whole region in one go?

Ah, thanks, Michael, for letting me know. I had intended to send it to the list. But
I doubt it's important enough to warrant doing so now! ;-)
Your post reminded me of it, being the "reductio ad absurdem" of the line you were
following: if stealing a phrase of 4 notes (three Gs followed by th

Final
On a list devoted to words I came across "prick-song", which apparently refers
to written music, i.e. music sung from pricked (written) notes rather than from
memory. The term is new to me. Anybody out there know anything about it? Here are two
references:

All I can say is, best of luck (I think you're going to need bushels of it, and
black coffee by the tanker-load).
Let us all know how it goes!
Hello Collective Wisdom,
In the Peters "Urtext" edition of the Bach trio sonatas, there is a
"lozenge" mark (an open rhomboid) above some of the notes in the violin
part.
Does anyone know what this means?
Expiring minds want to know!
TIA, Ch.S.

A question of terminology for the Collective Wisdom:
Whaddya call the accent mark that looks like a little v (sometimes
inverted)?
One place to see it is Bartok, Str.Quartet #5, 3rd mvt (Scherzo), cello
parrt, meas.30-41, but of course it occurs all over the place.
My question is not how to

Not exactly, but almost. My mom was a pianist, and one birthday or Mothers' Day
I got her a working novelty phone in the shape of a little piano. It had a range

Thanks (again!) Jari. Why did I never notice that before?
Works like a charm-- except 50% of a default
Hello, I'm reworking a piece done long ago in 4/4, am thinking it would be much
more natural in 2/4 with all note values halved (2 quarters and 4 8ths in 4/4
would become 2 8ths and 4 16ths in 2/4, etc). Is there an easy way to halve all
the note values?
TIA, Ch.S.

Hi, Is this still happening to others, or is it just me?
I'm subscribed for individual messages, not the Digest. But apparently huge
digests are arriving at my server, big enough so they exceed my quota and get
bounced, but not before sitting there long enough to cause a lot of other bouncing
