Re: [Finale] Midi file dynamics / human playback?

Hiro and David, I listened to the midi file I saved w/out HP turned on and HP was definitely not a factor. I sent the file to the programmer and still haven't heard from him if this was what he needed. Hiro, I'll discuss your comments with the programmer and see if they help. It's beyond me tech

[Finale] More FinaleScript Batch questions

Okay, my next questions: 1) When FinaleScript tries to save a file under the same name as an existing file, is there a way to get it to overwrite the old file without asking? 2) If not, is there a way to get FinaleScript to create a new subfolder (called, for instance "2k5") within whatever fol

Re: [Finale] Batch swap fonts

Hey all, Now that I figured out the stupid 32-character filename limit, the actual batch font swap operation went relatively smoothl... Oh wait, check that. Literally as I was typing the above sentence, Finale "unexpectedly quit" in the middle of processing my files. [sigh] Anyway, for the fil

Re: [Finale] Batch swap fonts

Yep, I just tried it and that's it. For some godforsaken reason, FinaleScript (for Mac, at least) chokes when it has to create filenames longer than 32 characters -- so, even if the original filenames contain fewer than 32 characters, if appending the "_2k5" creates a filename longer than 32 c

Re: [Finale] Batch swap fonts

Hmm... I just noticed something... when opening some files with long filenames, the filename was truncated in the FinaleScript window, using the same method OS 9 uses to truncate long filenames. So, for example: Az Der Rebe Elimelekh - A Sx.mus Becomes: Az Der Rebe Elimelek#16316C.mus So, is Fi

Re: [Finale] Batch swap fonts

Hi Dennis, The Mac version opens older files as untitled by default, and AFAIK there is no way to turn that off. However, when you go to "Save As," the old name will (normally) show up in the prompt. The FinaleScript *did* work on the score, back when it was just called "Az Der Rebe Elimelekh"

Re: [Finale] Batch swap fonts

Okay, I found and downloaded Renamer4Mac, which is a very nice freeware batch renamer for OS X. I appended ".mus" to all documents. I replaced all spaces with underscores ("_"). I replaces all em dashes with hyphens. I removed all periods except the one in ".mus" So, the filenames now look like t

Hm. Well, so far, I'm only trying to batch convert a test folder of old files, and I'm already running into a snag. I'm working with the existing "Convert folder of Files to the current Finale Format" FinaleScript. I appended "process subdirectories" (thanks, Allen!) and changed "close all" t

Hi Dennis, Thanks so much for your help -- but do you mind if I ask a couple more questions before I take the plunge into FinaleScript? 1) Will "batch process folder" also affect subfolders? 2) What happens to older Finale files? Will they be skipped/automatically converted to Fin2005 / cause t

[Finale] Batch swap fonts

Hey gang, Is there some method for swapping one font for another in *all* currently open files -- or in a folder of files? Pretty much all of my old Finale files used the fonts "Palatia" and "Palatia Bold" (which are for some reason separate fonts). I want to change all instances of Palatia in
