Pardon me, but what about using Microsoft Word, or any other word processing program for this? If the title page has no music on it, that's how I would do it, rather than trying to force Finale to do something it wasn't designed to do. The right tool for the right job, and all. As long as it loo

OK, I followed your instructions exactly, and the same thing happened. Then I followed your instructions on a new document with a single staff line and it worked perfectly. I then created a whole new score, pasted the other parts from the old score to the new score (except for the snare drum line

I am using speedy entry, but the only thing that shows up in the upper left hand corner of the edit box is V1. If I use the up and down arrows, it just moves to a different line or space. On June 1, 2014, at 12:41 AM, Ryan Beard ry.squa...@gmail.com wrote: > How do you enter notes and rests? Do

I think I'm on the right path here, but I'm not sure what to do next. I found the Percussion Map Designer in the Staff Tools. I made my own map and chose playback note 37 (side stick) to play at staff position 6 and playback note 38 (snare drum) to play at staff position 7. I selected my percuss

I assume you're talking about this? [1]https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:GMStandardDrumMap.gif I would love to have that upper drum map, but it looks like I'm stuck on the lower one. Also, I don't know how to make the different size bass drums, like in a marching band.

I'm a casual user of Finale and I haven't upgraded since 2001, but I'm trying to figure out how to enter percussion parts so that they'll play back correctly. What I've done so far is to enter a note on a staff and test its playback. If what I get isn't the correct sound, I'll drag it to a differ
