[Finale] different colours

2006-05-16 Thread YATESLAWRENCE
Is it possible to specify different colours for notes in Finale, for example - can I have a page printed in blue? (I have a student who has a reading problem and it has been suggested that I try different coloured music). The index of the manual jumps alarmingly from "cod" to "com"!

Dennis, I find it particularly odd that it displays correctly in some formats, but not in others, (though I can't say I haven't had the same problem). A couple of things you might want to check: Opening the font, is the bounding box properly positioned around the character? I'm assuming

I have heard two opinions about articulations in keyboard parts with similar music in both hands: If they appear in the RH, it is assumed that the LH articulations are the same (my usual practice); and - put them in both hands. What is normal professional engraving practice? Thanks,

I'm not a pianist or engraver, but as a composer who has dealt with both I feel it would be more correct and less ambiguous to articulate both hands. If, as it seems here, this is your usual practice a player knows you and your music, your usual is probably ok. But if the music is going to be

Just for fun, I'll weigh in as a pianist. Both hands for sure. The exception I might think to mention would involve a homorhythmic passage that is very dense vertically and where spacing is going to be a problem for you. In those instances, if both hands are playing the same rhythm or line, you
