Re: [Finale] Finale Digest, Vol 123, Issue 2

Linda, I believe that the Tempo Indications category of Staff Expressions is set to only attach to the beginning of measures. Change the category settings, or create a miscellaneous Staff Expression with the Playback set to your tempo change, and that should allow you to attach it where you wan

Re: [Finale] Finale Digest, Vol 118, Issue 3

The transposition for an alto sax is up a major sixth not a diminished 7th. When playing saxophone I prefer F# - it's what is correct - is the piano in Bbb? However, when playing flute I prefer Gb, as that would be more likely for that instrument. When transposing to alto sax on the fly, whic

Hi, folks. Running Finale 2010 on a Macbook Pro and having a really annoying problem. From time to time, a given function will just 'freeze up.' Usually, it's the speedy entry tool - it just won't work, I won't be able to highlight a measure and enter notes from my midi keyboard. Sometimes it's oth

Thanks, Michael and Jef, for your posts. I was able to create a vertical line using the grid and rulers as you suggest, Jef, so that solves my problem. However, the process is more complicated than it use to be requiring me to turn the grid and rulers on, click and drag to create and align the

Well, except it's not that much of a pain. If all of Finale's pains were that small, I would be very happy indeed. On Fri, Dec 21, 2012 at 2:07 PM, Lawrence Yates wrote: > Good grief, Robert, you're right - I had never seen that before. What a > pain! > > > On 21 December 2012 19:56, Robert Patt

I could help you with this, but the procedure has changed in 2012. You have to change the transposition of the staff to "chromatic", and the way to do this is new in 2012. What version of Finale are you on? Christopher On Thu Dec 20, at ThursdayDec 20 9:14 PM, William Sinclair wrote: > > By

Re: [Finale] Finale Digest, Vol 113, Issue 19 (No key signature option ?)

If the music has no key signature, use the Chromatic Transposition option. (Google the instructions if you don't know how.) If the music has changing key signatures, but you don't want that particular instrument to have a key signature (e.g., horn parts in Brahms), do the following. 1. Set the st

Re: [Finale] Finale Digest, Vol 113, Issue 19 (No key signature option ?)

By "stave setup" do you mean the key signature tools option? If I want to transpose from C up a major 6th for example, it puts 3 sharps in the key signature. Something I want to avoid. The other choices are "hold notes to chromatic pitches" or "hold notes enharmonically". I don't want those ei

I'm jumping in part way through a conversation I've not seen the beginning of so ignore if useless... Are you change staff transposition or the key of a section? If you unlink a part then you can change the staff transposition without affecting it. But if you change key that will transpose every

Re: [Finale] Finale Digest, Vol 113, Issue 9

Brian, Your method will certainly work and I have used that in the past. But the drawback to this method, that I can see, is when I make a change in one of the original parts or staves the resulting copies do not change as well. I would like to only have to make a single change in, say the A
