[Finale] WinFin 2010a Crash

Yo folks, I have had multiple crashes when opening a document and starting playback. Finale pops up Pre-processing file for human playback. (press Esc to skip) Retrieving score items and get stuck on 33% or 35 % then Window deems Finale to have stopped working. Waiting does not help, neither

OK, spent some hours nailing down the error. I tried the Data check utility, but that didn't change anything. Turning off the HP did it. But why? After some experimenting I found that the problem seems to be related to falls/trills, but not in a way that seems logic. After having removed more

[Finale] String Orchestra Parts layout

2009-11-25 Thread Ryan Beard
I'm working on a piece for String Orchestra, but it has a second cello part. (The instrumentation is Violin I, Violin II, Viola, Cello I, Cello II, String Bass.) My question concerns the cello part. Should I extract the cello parts together in one part on two staves, or in separate parts, like

Ryan, better to have two separate parts, just like Violin I Violin II. The less to look at and process, the better. Patrick J. M. Sheehan Music Director, Instructor: Woodlawn Arts Academy P. S. Music Host: The Saturday Night Blues on 89.5 WNIJ-FM, 9pm - 12am (CST) WNIJ.org 1-815-973-2317 (m)

In general, you DO want to have SEPARATE cello parts rather than two staves per system. There will be too much page turning and visual confusion otherwise. Here are some exceptions: 1) If the extra cello part is different only a few measures here or there, you could do one part with the

OK, but you need to add 2 falls (by using the glissando tool) in the file to trigger the bug. AND SOMETHING ELSE: I now feel even more certain that this bug is introduced in Finale 2010a (or perhaps 2010). I just opened a file that was created in Finale 2007 (also containing falls), let Finale do

And now I tried to open a file that I am pretty sure was created with 2010 that worked fine but contained no falls. Just adding one fall to an arbitrary note caused the playback to hang and Finale to crash...oh happy day :-( /D -Original Message- From: finale-boun...@shsu.edu

[Finale] Score lists bug resolved

2009-11-25 Thread Jonathan Smith
I have found a solution for the score lists bug in Fin 2009. I could never get the tempo markings to show on top staff of parts even though it was checked. What I discovered was that if you uncheck and then re-check show on top staff it will show up on the top staff of each part. This is

Hi Michael - Thanks so much for the information Michael. I was thinking of uploading the PDF's of my score and also sending in a physical CD with the same PDF's; however, I think I'll just do the upload. (The woman on the phone told me that one could upload and send in but I don't see anything on
