[Finale] Help needed quickly

2016-06-27 Thread David Wolfson
Don’t know if this will be enough to help, but in the text box dialog you can change from “attached to page” to “attached to measure.” It will remove manual positioning, but it will then survive cutting and pasting, and it would be less work than recreating everything as expressions. David

You have to turn off “Simplify Spelling” in the Chord Tool Menu. I am embarrassed to say it took me over two decades of using Finale before I found this out. Interestingly (or perhaps not), you can fool the system: D-triple-flat will show as C-flat with Simplify Spelling turned on. David

You might try copying the music, deleting the staff, creating a new staff, and pasting the music back in. I’ve had good luck with that technique getting rid of phantom pitch bends. David Wolfson davidwolfsonmusic.net On Mar 1, 2015, at 1:00 PM, finale-requ...@shsu.edu finale-requ

I believe if you select a number of measures (with the Measure Tool selected), and type a large minimum width in the text box labeled as such, they will all nicely settle into the same width once you've locked the system and updated the layout. David Wolfson davidwolfsonmusic.net On Jan 4

If you're using Audio Units, go to MIDI/AudioInstrument SetupAudio Units Instruments. There's a volume slider there that's set well below the maximum level by default. Other than that, open the Mixer and make sure both your instrument and the master fader are set to max. David Wolfson
