[Finale] I can't get HP expressions to work

2011-02-19 Thread Craig Parmerlee
I'm using Finale 2011. I'm doing an arrangement that alternates between swing and bossa. I have tried everything I can think of to make the Human Playback work only during the swing sections. The obvious thing was to use expressions that are defined for playback with HP on and HP off.

[Finale] copyright symbol not printing

2011-02-19 Thread Nick Raspa
I have been unable to get the copyright symbol to print on a couple of scores and parts.  The font is times and I've ensured that all the fonts are embedded when I convert it to post script.  I doesn't even show up on the pdf.  What I end up getting is an apostrophe where the symbol should be.

why times won't print i can't answer, but have you tried using another font just for the symbol? i like using verdana, the letter height is slightly larger than in other fonts (at the same point size), so the symbol stands out better. ___ Finale

Thats a good idea.  I didn't think to try that since I figured there should be no reason that a font as generic as times should be a problem.  I'll give that a try.  Thanks! Nick Raspa NJR Music Enterprises On Feb 19, 2011, at 10:46 AM, SN jef chippewa shirl...@newmusicnotation.com wrote:

Just back from the printer and changing fonts solved the problem.  I don't quite understand why times doesn't work.  I never had problems with it before.   But at least this took care of the problem.  I also like the fact that the symbol is a little larger with the new font and stands out more.
