[Finale] Cubase 4.1 and MusicXML

2007-11-21 Thread Jari Williamsson
Hello! Has anyone tried the MusicXML feature from Cubase 4.1? Is the export any accurate? I'm thinking about buying a copy for my occasional MIDI mockups now when the US$ is almost lower than the Deutchmark during the 30's. If possible, could anyone send me a PDF output of a non-trivial page

From the look of your QK script, the last step " ] ", which is your trigger, is most likely advancing the Speedy frame one bar, since that's the keyboard command for that in Finale. Try a different, more obscure trigger like maybe '" Cntl-] " and see if that solves your issue. J D Thoma

ah, it's true that there's a bit too much style-specific beethoven discussion in these books. peronally i just don't think in terms of keys. i mean, i can step back and analyze what i've done and realize where the key changes are, and in fact one often ends up with long ambiguous regions which ar

[Finale] Articulation Macro Bug

2007-11-21 Thread Randolph Peters
I don't know why I haven't seen this before, but in Finale 2007 (and probably 2008) if you use the macro method to apply articulations, the articulations get attached to notes in every layer instead of just the layer you are working on. I don't believe this is a feature, because previous versi

if it's a bug, I'm glad it's there - I often have situations where I need artics applied to more than one layer. Having to manually switch to all layers involved, would add lots of time to the process. One can always display only one layer and then apply the macro - that way you will only g
