Title: FinMac 2004c - What happened to EPS preview quality? Now we have EPS back in Finale for mac, but what on earth happened to the on screen preview quality? It's dreadful. I used to be able to read EPS's in Word quite clearly on screen when they were made in Finale 2002b, now they are quite

Hi all, The problem is that the articulations wind up on top of each other. My method is to add the first articulation (various methods); then run a macro which alters the vertical position of the first set -- via Mass Edit, Change Articulation Assignments -- by 36 evpu's; then add the second

2004-06-26 Thread Fisher, Allen
Johannes is correct. We were forced to use a bitmap preview because ATSUI (Apple Type Services for Unicode Imaging--the text and type protocol moving forward on the Mac) does not support the type of PICTs that we used to do. The type of PICT that we used were a lot like EPS in that they

I guess ideally Finale should allow to set the preview resolution, but as it stands I am glad EPS works at all. Yes, I agree there. -- Rocky Road - in Oz Fleeing from the Cylon tyranny, the last Battlestar, Galactica, leads a ragtag, fugitive fleet, on a lonely quest, for a shining planet known

Hi, I just played around with Sibelius (Win XP), and, as someone had told, EPS export works perfectly! Fonts ok, scalable perfectly, TIF preview as expected, everything behaved as it should. I chose normal EPS, and there are a lot of graphic format selections. Printed fine on my LaserJet 2100
