[Finale] 2K4 batch processor?

2004-08-10 Thread Andrew Stiller
Doesn't 2K4 have some kind of built-in batch processing capacity? Where is it, and how do I use it? Also, a while back someone recommended a good OSX macro program to take the place of QuicKeys. Could I get the name of that again? ___ Finale mailing

I know this has been discussed before, but I wasn't paying attention: I have a buncha orchl. parts with program headers in the Windows version of Zapf Chancery. When I change them to the Mac version (slightly different font name), the font appears on screen as either Times or Engraver.

Well, the time has finally come that I absolutely have to make a PDF from a Finale file (Sibelius too, but my question's the same for both). I know there's been a lot of talk RE Ghostscript on this list, but I've hitherto ignored it. I went to the relevant site and confess to some dismay: am

an augmented third between staves results in a diminished fourth within one of the staves, don't do it. But if no such trade-off is involved, sure, simplify the interstaff intervals too. Same for full scores, I'd say: after all, conductors have to read the music too. Andrew Stiller Kallisti Music
