[Finale] Finale 2005 vs Finale 2010

2011-01-23 Thread Ruth H. Randle
I have used Finale 2005 on Windows XP for several years. I do not have a MIDI keyboard for entry; I use Simple Entry and Speedy Entry with the computer keyboard. Today I tried to help a friend set up his Finale 2010, and got stuck on two items: 1. How do you delete empty measures? 2. How do y

I am using Finale 2005 for Windows, on an XP machine. My Layer Selection Controls and Page turner arrows at the bottom left of the screen have suddenly disappeared. I'm sure I must have clicked something simple by mistake, but have no idea what it could be; I've gone through all the toolbars and

Does anyone have an old Finale 2005 disk they would be willing to part with? I would be most grateful, and more than happy to pay postage. Mine has been lost in a move, and I have a new laptop. Of course Fin2005 is no longer available from MakeMusic; they want me to upgrade to the latest vers

[Finale] creating a Nonstandard Linear Key Signature

2008-05-15 Thread Ruth H. Randle
I am trying my hand at entering into Finale a Klezmer tune in the key of D Freygish. I figured out how to set up a nonstandard linear key signature, with 3 accidentals: 1 sharp and 2 flats (F#, Bb and Eb) - The D Freygish scale is D, Eb, F#, G, A, Bb, C, D. I can get it all set up properly in

Thank you, Chris, Dick and Keith for your very helpful comments. Your discussions are often way above my head, but I admire the way that listers are always willing to help even with the simplest questions as well. And Chris, your descriptive term "D Fraygish" is wonderful! Ruth Randle ___

[Finale] Klezmer music question

2007-09-20 Thread Ruth H. Randle
I have been given a handwritten piece of Klezmer music to transcribe, called Baym Rebn Sude. There are no chords, just a simple melody line. My problem is this: It has 1 sharp (F) and 2 flats (B and E)! I was told that a) it is a very simple piece, and b) the basic scale is D, Eb, F#, G, A, Bb,

2007-03-01 Thread Ruth H. Randle
Thank you Chris - for your workaround for changing the key sig in mid-measure, and to David for confirming that this is probably the ONLY way to do it in Finale. (How frustrating!) In the hymnal I am using, the measure in question actually shows a thin double barline prior to the mid-measure key ch

I am using Finale 2005 for Windows. How do I change Key Signature in the middle of a measure? I've searched the manual, and all I have been able to find is this: apparently the Select Region Dialog Box can be used with the Key Signature Tool, among others, to select a region or a given staff inc

Re: [Finale] Tuplet Tool

After confirming the "glitch" where Finale inserts a quarter rest for the 6th beat and refuses to allow you to input another quarter note, I was able to create a 6-quarters-in-4 tuplet (Finale 2005b) using Simple Entry and turning OFF the "check for extra notes" feature. I manually clicked in

I must compliment the folks on this list for their kind and caring attitude, and willingness to help others. What started as a mild annoyance at someone asking seemingly "simple" questions might have turned into an ugly "flame" on another list. Instead, it was treated gently, with patience
