Re: [Finale] Conventional Metronome Mark

Here is what I do for the situation you outline. However, I must preface this by saying that the handwritten notation is much more effective because it draws attention to itself. I learned this many years ago from Dr. Charlene Archibeque, at that time (perhaps still) Director of Choral Music at S

Re: [Finale] How do I do this?

Thanks. I tried another method which worked but yours seems easier to remember. I check it out later. Guy Hayden - Original Message - From: "David H. Bailey" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, April 05, 2004 5:23 PM Subject: Re: [Finale] How do I do this? > You

[Finale] How do I do this?

I turn to your collective wisdom for what I hope is a simple answer. I am working on a piece for small ensemble in the E major concert key. How do I display the Bb trumpet part in Gb instead of F#? TIA Guy Hayden, Minister of Music St. Stephen's Episcopal Church 372 Hiden Boulevard Newport News

Re: [Finale] Adjusting speed of a string portamento

Thanks for your reply. I have the port. marked as I want it played, i.e. 2-2 on the G string (B - D#) second finger resolving the leading tone up to E with the third finger in Third position. Most any violinist will produce the sound I want. The problem is with the playback. You would NEVER wan

[Finale] Adjusting speed of a string portamento

So far I have been unsuccessful in adjusting the speed and accurate placement of a string portamento in human playback (Finale 2004 Windows. The effect I want is a very quick slide...the same effect as shifting position. I want to go from B to D#, second finger on the G string (violin). What I g

[Finale] Can I do this?

You are all such wonderful sources of info! I wish I had known about this list years ago! Now, can I do this... I am working on a set of folk dance tunes with the general structure A(A')B(B')A'B'. Each section has 1st and 2nd endings. I want to use a D.C. marking in the score, the understandin

[Finale] Thanks and another question

Many thanks to all those who responded so quickly to my question about changing the playback tempo. Now here's another one: I am working on a document in 6/4. When I try to use the Mass Edit copy function to copy a dotted quarter followed by an eighth note, I get a quarter note tied to an eighth

[Finale] Changing the tempo mark

I made an error in judgement when I set up a document using the Wizard. Now the display and playback tempi are much too fast and I don't know how to change them. Can anyone tell me about this? Guy Hayden, Minister of Music St. Stephen's Episcopal Church 372 Hiden Boulevard Newport News, Virginia

Re: [Finale] Is the same Sfp and Sfzp?

In my use the two terms are similar but different. Since your original post I have been trying to remember where I have seen both in use. I know I've seen them both in the same score but can not recall now where it was. I deal primarily with band music so it must have been in a band work. It ma

Re: [Finale] No key signature on contemporary score

I generally find "C Scores" very difficult to use. Much of my recent work has been with concert band music wherein many instruments transpose. I have no problem transposing to concert pitch. I DO have a problem spotting potential problem areas in a C score. For example, most saxophones have cer

[Finale] Can somebody tell me about this?

I have not yet purchased the upgrade for Finale 2004. Here is my situation. I primarily use Finale on my Windows XP machine at home which has internet access. My secondary machine at church (Windows 98) does not have an internet connection. Will I legally and technically be able to use the upgr

[Finale] I am outraged!

This may or may not have anything to do with this list but I have need a place to rant! I asked a young piano student to get the Kalmus Edition of "The Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach". I expected the old tried and true short-end bound version. He showed up with the "Newly Engraved!" edition wh

[Finale] Dance Tempi

Ahem...I retired from a short and not terribly illustrious career as a dancer about 25 years ago. I supported myself during those 15 years by being a dance pianist -- American Ballet Theatre, Joffery Ballet, Martha Graham Dance Company, San Francisco Ballet, Julliard School Dance Department, Schoo

[Finale] Score order

As a pianist who frequently does the vocal and choral preparation for works with mixed ensemble, here is my version on the score order. This is based on my frequent need to play chorus and/or solo parts along with the accompaniment from open score. Strings Harp Soprano and Alto chorus Boy Sopran

[Finale] Horn parts

My understanding is that all parts written in the bass clef are written at concert pitch, contra bassoons and string contrabasses excepted, which both transpose down an octave. Some where (maybe in Walter Piston's "Orchestration") is a discussion about horn parts written in the bass clef being wri

[Finale] Counterpoint texts

You might also have a look at "A Manual of Counterpoint" by David D. Boyden (Carl Fischer #03757). It comes with a folio of examples. This is most useful for modal counterpoint, using species counterpoint format in two, three and four voices. Guy Hayden, Music Director and Conductor The Peninsul
