As I recall, you also have to check the box Soften Syncopations. And Michael is definitely correct when he says the answer is strange -- Has this sort of archaic placement of important settings been changed in Finale2009 or does the underlying midi data manipulation still suffer from lack of

[Finale] Garritan trombone range

2008-08-10 Thread Craig Parmerlee
The avoidance of the trigger is mostly about tradition more than anything else, and also that the number of instrument choices is limited. Probably 95% of the trigger trombones in existence are large bore symphonic tenors, which really shouldn't be used in a big band. But last night I played

I wonder if Garritan receives ANY licensing fees for being included in the distribution. As we have been discussing, what they supply is artificially limited, practically forcing you to go out and spend a bunch of money with Garritan to address those deficiencies. I'm not saying that is bad

Hi John, It's not that NYC players don't own F-trigger horns or don't know how to use them. It's that they don't bring them to jazz gigs (including bigband) where they might be called on to play a solo. Their main solo horn is almost always a straight tenor trombone. The F-trigger horn is

Two things: 1) You are mixing bore size with instrument length. 95+% of instruments with the F attachment use a large symphonic bore. It is the bore size, and not the presence of an F attachment, that causes NYC jazz players to bring the straight horns. Most of them probably do NOT own a
