[Finale] Simulated Wind/Breath tones

Hello, Finale List: I'm wondering if anyone here has ever found a way to simulate a flute's breath tones or wind tones with the Garritan sounds? Thanks, Adam ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu https://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale To u

[Finale] Problems entering a divided triplet in Simple

Hi Finale List! I have recently started to work with Rachmaninov's B minor prelude (Op. 32, No. 10). It features a LOT of triplets, and the one that is giving me the biggest problem is the opening motive of dotted 8th-16th-8th as a triplet covering one quarter note beat. The note durations all

[Finale] Spacebar for playback in Win10

Hi all: I upgraded my laptop from Win7 to Win10 a few months ago, and haven't had much time to work with Finale until the other day. To my annoyance, the playback shortcut of using the space bar to start playback anywhere no longer works (which is a problem for me). I still run an old version

Yeah. I have the same problem. It has selective hearing for the KS markings which pisses me off sometimes. It does what it wants, when it wants. Adam On 2/27/2016 7:19 PM, Ryan wrote: > Playback sound isn't changing to pizz when marked. FinMac 2012c. Garritan > Instruments. Basses KS. The "KS"

Re: [Finale] Composite Time Signatures

I think there was a misunderstanding. You need to put "3+3+2+3+2" ALL in the same first box on the top line, and the 8 in the first box on the bottom line. I've done this lots of times. Adam On 05/12/2015 10:46 AM, j...@thomastudios.com wrote: > The lower box needs an 8. Did you try that? > >

[Finale] Finale won't play after a certain point

Hi all: I seem to have run into a problem getting Finale to play back after a certain point. I am working on a full-orchestra score that currently sits at just shy of 190 measures of music. I frequently set the start point in the playback options box to a later bar so I don't have to listen to

Re: [Finale] Clefs for Tenors in Choir

Patrick: I am not a choirmaster, but I am a composer and a singer who occasionally performs tenor parts. The reason that I can think that it makes sense relates more to classical choral tenor (ie: Bach, Mozart, etc) and to operatic tenor parts. Those parts tend to lie more above Middle C (and

[Finale] non-standard key signatures

I'm wondering what a performer's opinion is on non-standard key signatures, for example, one containing B-flat, E-flat, F-sharp and C-sharp. The first movement of my second string quartet uses these four accidentals and it could clean up the notation a bit to have them all in the key signature

When you set the time signature, don't set it as three quarter notes, use the sliders to make it one dotted half note. It will display as 3/4 meter, but beam six eighth notes together. Adam On 31/05/2011 6:08 AM, Patricia Spedden wrote: Does anyone know how to custom beam 6 eighth notes in 3/

[Finale] Is human playback illiterate or something?
