[Finale] Strange Sounds

A month or so ago, I posted a whine about my playback in one spot creating a strange sound (distortion, whatever). I think I've finally nailed down the experience. It seems to occur only when the GPO SOLO Trb. plays a middle line D natural, for a duration longer than a quarter note. When

[Finale] Invisible Score

2008-02-18 Thread Gerry Kirk
I used FIN-MAC 2008a to open a Finale file of a trombone sextet I had arranged in 1998 (on Finale 97b) of “Tangerine.” The file imported to 2008a just fine in Scroll view (and Studio view, too BTW). But the music is invisible in Score view—all that shows is the “title” and “arranged by.”

This is a known Finale bug. It existed in 2008, and I had hoped it would be fixed by 2008a, but alas it was not. I believe this only affects those of us with Intel Macs and firewire audio interfaces. It's not just JABB and GPO/Kontakt, it also affects QuickTime playback. All of this

[Finale] Finale/Sibelius -- which is truly faster?

Can anyone fluent in both Finale 2008 and Sibelius 5 comment on which is actually faster to work in? If one isn't trying to create publishable scores, but merely trying to get scores and parts that an orchestral librarian would accept for rehearsal, I get the impression that sibelius 5 is much

But people work differently, so, say you have two people who are fluent in both, but one thinks better doing things like Finale does it, and the other thinks like how Sibelius thinks. It is really a lame question. What you really need to do, if you are really interested in it, is to download both

Not in the slightest. Suppose that someone is maximally fluent in both programs--that is to say, they use each program as fast as humanly possible. It doesn't follow that they use each program at the same speed, since the maximum humanly possible speed might be different for each program. I'm

Then stick with Sibelius. You really don't need to use TWO different programs to do notation. It would be like learning Logic and Cubase. On 2/18/08, Adam Golding [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Eric, I have used both Sibelius and Finale. Sibelius is currently faster for me, but I know it somewhat

Well, if finale could potentially be faster, it might be worth it. Users who have used both extensively and prefer finale might have some valuable workflow insights in their explanation as to why finale is faster for them. On 19/02/2008, Eric Dannewitz [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Then stick with
