I wrote in both lists but here you answered me faster. Maybe Sibelius list has spies able to recognize evaluation users or worst they really are less tolerant with anti capilalistic cross grading guys. :) -- Gippo Mercoli www.clubgippo.com www.ga-music.com Il giorno 21/nov/2014, alle

[Finale] Flat slurs

2014-11-21 Thread Dennis Bathory-Kitsz
Hi all, For the first time I *must* use flat slurs for a job (90 pages 11x17 for multiple pianos) -- and there are gobzillions of them in all lengths, with all lengths of curved endpoints. I have Finale 2014 but am not seeing a change to the slurs to add the extra control points. Am I missing

[Finale] Standards for Rehearsal marker placement and repeat bar height

2014-11-21 Thread Jim Fischer
Is there a standard for Rehearsal Letters in rectangles for placement.? I'm always having to tweak the placement to stay out of the way of chord symbols on beat 1. Also is there a standard height for repeat lines above the staff - I am always having to tweak to make room for 16pt font chord

Re: [Finale] Standards for Rehearsal marker placement and repeat bar height

2014-11-21 Thread Christopher Smith
The short answer is no. Rehearsal letters are one of those things, which not being essential to the musical information, are moved around to avoid collisions. Almost everything else takes precedence over rehearsal letters. I generally have set them so that they avoid the top of the treble clef

Dear Chris, You know there's a selection called align repeats in the repeat tool sub menu and, if memory serves me well, I think it works without breaking the MM rest. Discovered it by accident. It saves just the irritation you describe. I am on tour (in interesting Kraków at the moment), so

[Finale] Finale to Sibelius and back again

2014-11-21 Thread Dean Rosenthal
Hello: A client is requesting I do his scores in Sibelius so he can make edits and we can go back forth in his native file format. Obviously, we can go back in forth in .xml, but much of the detailed formatting gets lost (I've seen that before, .xml has saved me dozens of hours with notes and

I've done that but only on very short and very simple files where formatting wasn't really important. Because of my relative unfamiliarity with Sibelius I found it the only way I could work. Cheers, Lawrence On 21 November 2014 22:38, Dean Rosenthal deanrosent...@gmail.com wrote: Hello: A

Yes that would work, but I think that if you can spend the time to work through the tutorials with Sibelius and simply try to learn it as a new and different program rather than try to think of it as Finale East and get frustrated with how it isn't Sibelius you'll have a much easier time. I
