I am using Finale 2004 with Windows 98. Had no problems until I started playing back files that originated in 2001 or 2003 and were transferred 2004. When I play back the transplanted files I get intermittent very short duration"choke points" where the playback is disrupted and then resumes. It

[Finale] Putting a trill in its place

In checking the extracted parts of a string quintet, I found a problem in one measure of Violin 1. The measure contains two quarter notes plus a quarter rest. Same deal in Violin 2 and both viola parts. All four of these parts are to have a trill on the first quarter. In the Violin 1 part there

Until now I have not been asked to engrave any piano music. But the time has come. The User Manual talks about three ways to indicate pedaling. Is there a generally accepted style in use today to indicate pedaling? Is it one of the plans in the Manual? If not, what is considered good practice t

Stop! I did find in the OLD where you take two files and join them into one. It's on Page 3-15, under "To combine two files." I never thought to look for "combine". It works, but there is one unclear step. It says Click Measure Tool. . . . choose Add. You need to go ahead and add one blank mea

My question deals with quintet string parts. It looks likes I need to change two movements presently in separate files into one file containing both movements. The Violin 1 first movement, as an example, is two and a third pages; the second is one and a quarter pages. I did not find anything re

I seem to have forgotten how to deal with a continuous long string of tuplets. The OLD does not seem to help. WinFin2003a. Meter is 4/4. I need to enter four groups of six 16th notes beamed together on two staves in each measure. I would like to set this up prior to note entry since this tuplet

Did anyone on this list begin their piano study with John Thompson's "Teaching Little Fingers to Play"? I did at age 6. I must still be age 6. All I would like to do is copy an articulation library I created, containing only the items I need, from one file (movement) to another file (movement)

Once again to the list! The playback volume of my Finale files done on 2001d is quite a bit louder than files done on 2003. Is there a playback volume control on 2003 that is hiding from me? I can't remember setting a playback volume in 2001. Another senior moment! I have not changed any volum

Who said recently that the MassMover locomotive icon could be added to Fin2003 (just for old times sake)? Jari? I vaguely remember something about adding a statement to the INI file. If this can be done, would someone repeat the wording of the statement and where it should be added in the INI
