[Finale] easier, faster input of various notes over repeated rhythmic pattern -- any suggestions?

 I'd like to be able to input a long string of pitches that would adopt a preset rhythmic pattern; or vice versa, I'd like to input a string of pitches and then modify them to fit a repeating rhythm pattern.  I'd also like to be able to modify rhythms more easily, as in changing -- in one fell s

re: [Finale] Note Spacing

2007-08-15 Thread MB
I've had this problem a lot. You can grab as many measures as you want, then go to Mass Edit, Note Spacing, and choose whichever spacing you like. I've had to do this so many times that I finally made a kind of "macro" using TG Tools' menu shortcuts. That too will save you lots of headaches.

2007-08-14 Thread MB
I suggest you add a measure to the front of your file first (not necessary, but a kind of failsafe place holder), then make sure you are copying the entire stack of measures you want to insert. If you copy just some of the notes or some of the systems or don't grab entire measures, you won't get a
