Re: [Finale] Copying independent time signatures

You can create a staff view of just the independent staff (or staves) and then you can do a full stack selection. I just tried this and it seemed to work. I don't know if there are caveats. On Wed, Mar 25, 2015 at 5:20 AM, Darcy James Argue wrote: > Hello, > > If you have a staff that is set to

Re: [Finale] Changing slurred 8ths to 8th-16th

It does seem to remove the slurs, but adding them back should be a snap with Mass Copy unless you've done individual edits on them. Even then, I think you could make a copy of your file before you run the JW plugin, then copy the slurs from the copy back to the original after running the JW plugin

Re: [Finale] [Olist] Re: [sibelius-list] Notation program MuseScore version 2 has a new release candidate for download

I find it interesting to see such loyal Sibelius users, continuing to defend it now even though it is (at least apparently) dead, like Michael Palin and the legendary parrot in the Monty Python skit. I wonder if there exists a Finale user with such fanatic loyalty. I've never met one. Does anyone

Re: [Finale] copying collections of expressions

In recent versions of Finale, I will sometimes create a new (or select an existing) passage of music that has the expression, articulations, and or custom smart shapes I want and copy that measure into the new document. Then clear the measure in the new doc. (As long as you don't use Undo, the tran

Re: [Finale] Changing slurred 8ths to 8th-16th

One quite frequently sees different articulation notations in string and wind parts, even when the desired sound is the same. I've noticed this a lot in the scores of Ravel in particular. But if you count different slurring, the practice is ubiquitous. That said, there is no reason to use a differ

Re: [Finale] Changing slurred 8ths to 8th-16th

Deleting the the articulation marks is trivial with my Mass Copy plugin: 1. Select the region where you want the articulations deleted. 2. Open the plugin, select "Ariticulations" and hit Clear. On Sat, Mar 21, 2015 at 7:53 AM, Christopher Smith < christopher.sm...@videotron.ca> wrote: > Jari W

Re: [Finale] Changing slurred 8ths to 8th-16th

I hate to be a nay-sayer, but I agree with the string player. Even placing up-bow and down-bow markings doesn't clarify the notation, because the whole point of portato is that the bow doesn't change direction. Plus, I've found my guesses about the most convenient up- or down- bowings of a given pa

Re: [Finale] Changing slurred 8ths to 8th-16th

The version with the staccato dot could be mistaken for meaning portato bowing. I think the version with 16ths is clearer. On Fri, Mar 20, 2015 at 6:17 PM, Robert Patterson wrote: > The version with a staccato dot could be mistaken for meaning a specific > kind of bowing that is apparent

Re: [Finale] Triplet number positioning when "Avoid Staff" is checked

Darcy, I just re-read your post and realized you were referring to beam angles of grace notes, which Patterson Beams does not affect. Here again, a mitigating tool is Mass Copy, which can recognize and copy grace note beam angles. Robert On Fri, Mar 6, 2015 at 4:35 PM, Robert Patterson <

Re: [Finale] Triplet number positioning when "Avoid Staff" is checked

Darcy, I have no answer to your question, but I will mention that I am very happy with the autopositioning options in my Tuplet Mover plugin. It requires turning off engraver slurs and other automatic positioning options in Finale. (Otherwise the plugin does't know where the tuplet actually is.) S

Re: [Finale] Grace note issues

Darcy, For beam angles, I'm pretty happy with Patterson Beams. It's not 100% but it's close. ymmv For grace notes, I always turn off grace notes in the spacing options, so that any manual work I do is not destroyed. Then I hand-edit one or two and move the positioning of those with my Mass Copy p
