[Finale] Where have all my notes gone?

2003-10-10 Thread LGS-Europe
A puzzle: I used an existing file, created in WinFin2k3, emptied it, filled it with new notes (easy because of same layout etc.). But now I cannot get a good music spacing, as if Finale remembers the old notes, weird. So I decide to copy all into a new file: Mass Mover > Select all > Copy > New fil

I am looking for a way to edit recordings for cd's on my computer. So I will need a way to get the data in from a DAT-recorder, and software to do the actual editing. It will be for classical music: single track recording, no sound manipulating needed, just cut-and-glue the good parts. I understand

Script is the magic word, font is of minor importance. Once within a text block, choose font from the menu, choose Central European or whatever appropriate script. In lyrics you'll have to do the same. Copy and Paste from Word does not always work, to put it mildly. In the lyrics edit window it mig
