[Finale] OT combining PDFs into one file, Mac OSX

Hi combined MacOSX wisdom, I have a whole bunch of single-page files that I want to combine into one PDF. I had heard this was possible in Preview on Mac, and sure enough I can copy pages from one PDF to another document, but then I can't save the result! If I "save as" then it only saves the

I think it's under "File" in the pulldown menu. Followed by "Create pdf" then "Merge files into a single pdf". Usually then it's best to go "Optimize" and "Reduce file size" to get the size manageable. On Tue, May 1, 2012 at 9:04 AM, Christopher Smith < christopher.sm...@videotron.ca> wrote: > Hi

[Finale] How do I insert 2 beats (part of a measure)?

2012-05-01 Thread bill sinclair
I don't know how it happened, but 2 beats got left out of the middle of my concert score. So I want to insert them in again. It's half a measure, so I can't use "Add measure stack." Is there a quick and easy way to do that? The "select part of a measure option" apparently has been moved som

2012-05-01 Thread bill sinclair
This seems to occur more often when one is EDITING the score and places tie marks across bar lines. It treats the notes as sepaarate entities. Just wondering why no one wants to fix this. bill sinclair billsi...@aol.com ___ Finale mailing list Fina

Hi Chris, You aren't currently combining the documents in Preview, you are just viewing multiple documents from the same window. You can't save the result because you're not actually making any changes. Don't just drag new PDF pages into the sidebar, drag them ON TO the thumbnail at the top of

You can select part of a measure by (in selection tool) pressing the left mouse button and dragging around the area you wish to select. I'm not sure exactly what you mean - do you mean there's a 2/4 bar instead of a 4/4 bar? You can double click on the bar using the time signature tool and chang

Do you mean that all the music after the place where the two beats are missing is shifted two beats to the left? If that's the case, you can do this: - select all the measures from the one where the two beats are missing to the end of the piece. - drag and drop this selection two beats to the ri

How about adding a 2/4 measure where you want it. Then before adding any notes, change the measure to whatever the surround time signature happens to be. Then add your notes. Readjust if necessary to get what you're looking for. That is if I understand your situation correctly. J D Thomas Th
