Hi All, This is not strictly Finale related, but this seems like a very knowledgeable group to get some advice from. I was recently sent a job description for some music arranging and typesetting services. In general, I only do engraving work, so I'm not too familiar with the legalities
I went through all the problems of learning how to assemble multiple movement files into a single work file a year or so ago, using WinFin 2003. I did quite a bit of experimenting and it became quite clear that using clip files had exactly the same results as copy/insert. Has that changed in
Hello Finale; I have found that when using the "explode music" feature, even though the articulations are in the right place BEFORE the music is exploded, they come out funny in the parts AFTER the chords are exploded. I was wondering if there is a way for ALL articulations of a certain type to be

Typical jazz situation:
I'm arranging for a sextet (three horns + piano,
bass, drums).
I created a chord sequence in piano staff, now I
want to copy it into horns staves, move it to a level greater than 1 (3,4?),

I never saw this message, so it might not have made it here.
You describe the procedure pretty well.
Attach the chords in the piano staff to rests of the appropriate length (half rests maximum, as whole rests centre the chord in the bar instead of putting them at the beginning).

Thanks to everyone who took the time to respond. Clearly a loaded
topic! I suppose my chief concern in all this is getting credit for my

I'm back to having midi problems, can anyone help?
Finale (2006c) will not recognize my midi keyboard (Radium 49 - USB
connection) on my mac powerbook (10.4.5) both after I've put the
computer to sleep and after it's been shut down.
Here's the hoops I have to go to make it work: When I
I'm working on a piece at the moment that happens to have some long notes
tied over several bars. Now I know that conventional wisdom says that if
one note is slurred to the next, the slur should extend from the very first
note over/under all of the ties to the very last note, so, for example,
Hi Colin
I've done exactly as you describe in similar circumstances, and
always felt slightly guilty about it. I would be enormously grateful
for absolution in the form of the sanction of an authoritative opinion.

Sorry guys -- slurs that don't extend to the final tied note are a
massive pet peeve of mine. For starters, they make it much more
difficult for wind players to decide where to take a breath. Slurs
are not a fast event -- slurs indicate phrasing.

But Darcy -- surely a tie means you don't take a breath/change bow? I
can't see where any difficulty arises for wind players, or indeed for
anyone.

I was working on a vocal piece this week and noticed that Finale 2006
is automatically transforming common ligatures (like fi to fi for
example). Once an eps is exported into a DTP program, the ligatures
are gone. Is this a bug, and can someone replicate this problem?

It's much easier to see some indication that spans the entire length
of a phrase, so you know how long it is at a glance. If you see a
really long slur, you know you need to take a really big breath.
Using ties alone makes it harder to see that at a glance.

I agree with this. Slurs are so easy to adjust now that they can be
