Yet another problem with transport toolbar is when you hit record button (ie. activate hyperscribe). Before you do this, remember that it's gonna start with tempo which is burried deeply in hyperscribe menu, not the one of your transport toolbar :( Abel Korzeniowski __

I'm with you Mark. In tightly spaced music it looks so much better to have less space between left barline and accidental vs. left barline and notehead. The other problem is that we (well, me at least :) need one more value in "Music Options/ Spacing" -- "Space before music at the beginning of a s

I'm joining little late, I am a composer, many times conducting my own music. It really seems like reducing the meaning of music notation to a "big mac". The position of a note on the staff is not about the absolut pitch only. It says much about the instrument itself -- all about register, which me

[Finale] MIDI latency

I've bought RME HDSP9632 audio card. I'm getting terrible (over 2 sec.) MIDI latency when playing back from FinWin 2004a through its built-in softsynth. It had been all fine before I installed HDSP9632, and everything works with other programs. Same latency happens when I play my MIDI keyboard (Ro

David, of course you're right, that it is ambiguous according to the middle-line stem reversal rule (stems-down is _preferred_ anyway), but IMO the majority rule, which applies primarily to stem direction of chords, holds true also in this particular case. Please note that Finale stems down also

Robert, Does it mean your plugins are not free anymore? I ask, because it is not clear from reading the license agreement in ReadMeWin.txt. And what about the previous versions of Patterson Tools, can we still use them for free? As Patterson Beams is part of Finale bundle, has it got a license o

Jari, Have they fixed printing with OwnPS=0 option, which created so clean and small PS/PDF output? It was broken in Fin2002 forcing OwnPS=3 any time there was a crescendo wedge in the score. (i.e. practically always). This bug fix alone would make it worth upgrading... regards, Abel Korzenio

When you start numbering from the first full measure (which seems the most logical, a pickup is just an upbeat to a full measure after all, isn't it?) just make double sure that you didn't forget to input apropriate rests in all silent voices of the pickup, so that every extracted part would cl

The only exception is when you want to put fermata above a half rest in 3/4 (or respectively above a dotted half rest in 4/4), IF other instruments have similar rhythmic content at the same time. e.g. staff 1: [4][2r+fermata] staff 2: [4][2+fermata] staff 3: [4][2+fermata] with best regards, A

Syncopation is a special musical device for marking a stress of otherwise unaccented beat, and as it is not possible to put an accent on a rest, you cannot notate rests syncopated. So as long as in 4/4: [4][2][4] is right for syncopated rhythm, [4][2r][4] just does not make any sense (however ma

The rule says: do not ever syncopate rests! so [8.r][16] is correct [16][8.r] is wrong, it should be [16][16r][8r] and in many cases [8r][16r][16] makes things easier to read in orchestral context. regards, Abel Korzeniowski the Polish sixth lover > On 01.05.2002 7:49 Uhr, Ken Durling wrote
