[Finale] Remapping the F1 key (win)

2003-10-12 Thread Oboe1000
Hi, I'm using TGtools to remap certain keys, and my favorite is the ability to make F1=layer 1, F2=layer 2, etc. Sometimes -- about half the time -- F1 gives me a Finale help screen in addition to moving to layer 1. Any way to disable that? Thanks! - Ken _

[Finale] Question about Systems Margins

2003-10-10 Thread Oboe1000
Hi All, Maybe someone could shed some light on "system margins." I've tried several ways to handle them (mostly for piano-vocals and lead sheets) and find that the easiest most efficient way seems to be to set them all to zero, and just use "distance between systems" for spacing. Is there somethin

Allen, Thanks for the tip. However before I received it, I got so crazed with the paper jam-ups that I went to spales.com and bought an HP 2300 Laserjet. I only do 8½ x 11 prints anyway, and I hope I didn't do a stupid thing. I'll keep you posted. - Ken _

Re: [Finale] Page reduction vs. Staff reduction (again!)

2003-09-19 Thread Oboe1000
I'm curious why you'd pick 76% instead of 75%. They're so close that one will hardly notice the difference for looking at it, but 75% makes all the math much more tidy. You're right ... it was just that for some reason I was reducing the page to 76%, and I thought I'd stick to that number. However

Hello helpful people! I know this has been discussed before, but I'm still trying figure out whether to use a page reduction (76%?) or staff reduction for my piano-vocal scores. Right now, I've settled on the following for my "page format for score:" Staff height 96 Scale system 76% Scale page 1
