Re: [Finale] Finale Linked Parts: what's missing?

Where having minimal files helps a lot is when you have to add or remove measures after the fact. Then opening a modifying 2 files is much easier than modifying 30. Btw: I still use 2 files for some projects, but only for large ensembles with parts doubled up on single lines in the score. For

Re: [Finale] Finale Linked Parts: what's missing?

I already enter all cues in my "extracted parts" score, no pasting between docusments. I also change several "parts only" items globally once, in the same score. Same with elements colliding in all parts (rare in my experience). You're right about later edits potentially having to be done in

Re: [Finale] Finale Linked Parts: what's missing?

Ooh, ooh, ooh! I got this! Fewer files is a HUGE time saver! You can enter all the cues with copy and paste (or the plugin, which I find buggy) without pasting between documents, you can change the font sizes for tempi and rehearsal letters ONCE (or anything else ONCE) and have it apply to all

Re: [Finale] Finale Linked Parts: what's missing?

Makes sense. It seems to me you'd also be able to change the tempo marking font size in the linked parts score; I change several global settings in the version of the score I extract parts from that I want to apply to all parts and not to the score. With two separate copies of the score,

So I can have different scaling factors (Document Options->Music Spacing->Spacing Widths) in score and parts? Are you sure? -Lee -Original Message- From: finale-boun...@shsu.edu [mailto:finale-boun...@shsu.edu] On Behalf Of Skjalg Bjørstad Sent: Sunday, April 22, 2018 12:30 PM To:

Re: [Finale] Finale Linked Parts: what's missing?

​My solution for many of these things​ (and I think many others have the same workflow) is to have one file for the score and one file for the (linked) parts. This is not as good as one file for everything, but it's better than a bunch of separate files for extracted parts. Given this workflow,

Re: [Finale] Finale Linked Parts: what's missing?

My Note Spacing plugin already allows you to have different spacing options for parts and score (with saved settings). It doesn't do allotment tables, though, so either part or score would have to use the reference duration settings. On Sun, Apr 22, 2018 at 2:30 PM, Skjalg Bjørstad <

Re: [Finale] Finale Linked Parts: what's missing?

Your 2) and 3) are not correct. Music spacing is not linked between score and parts. You can also change clef in parts with staff styles (transposition>set to clef) in part only. 1) and 4) are valid, though. Skjalg - for anledningen på nett med iPhone. > 22. apr. 2018 kl. 20:34 skrev Lee

Re: [Finale] Finale Linked Parts: what's missing?

I'm not a regular user of linked parts -- yes, I still make a copy of the score and extract from there -- but I did make a reasonable effort several years ago to incorporate them into my normal work flow. I gave up after a month or so due to encountering too many situations that required special

[Finale] Finale Linked Parts: what's missing?

I am starting a new thread because my comments seem to be buried in the recent Dorico thread. I would like to poll this list about what features are missing from Linked Parts. I am doing so with an eye towards a possible plugin to address what can be addressed. Things that cannot be addressed by

This confused me as well, but it appears that if you have a Dorico educational license, you're not allowed to produce commercial work. See question 9 at https://www.steinberg.net/en/education/faq.html Aaron. On Sun, Apr 22, 2018 at 5:43 AM, David H. Bailey <

Re: [Finale] What is the Finale strategy?

Why would your "educational" license force you to redo everything in Finale? Are there restrictions on what sort of results you can get from Dorico under the "educational" license? David H. Bailey On 4/21/2018 5:25 PM, Steve Parker wrote: > >> On 21 Apr 2018, at 13:33, Robert Patterson
