[Finale] three annoying everyday Finale bugs

2005-11-30 Thread Kurt Gnos
Hi, I like Finale, and I like Finale 2006. Besides the eternal bug of Non-EPS, there are three bugs I come by very often. 1.) When I extract parts, there is always an additional empty page after the last page of the parts. Only if I update I won't print a lot of empty pages. What use? Why? W

Dear Kurt, On the imploding issue. Whenever I do this operation, I always clear note expressions, articulations, and smart shapes (using mass edit) from the lower parts and implode them into the highest selected part. This avoids the problem of having duplicates in the imploded result.

This problem sounds to me as if there is a blank page in your Maestro Default File (or whatever file you use as a starting template.) > > >>1.) When I extract parts, there is always an additional empty page > >>after the last page of the parts. Only if I update I won't print a > >>lot of empty

No. I doubt Finale cares whether the defailt is A4. This problem is definitely something in your setup: not Finale. > -Original Message- > From: Kurt Gnos [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, December 1, 2005 09:56 PM > To: finale@shsu.edu > Subject: Re: [Finale]

I did some more research. The uneven spacing problem seems to come up most when I start a new piece from scratch. This is what I do mostly, adding bars automatically since I do most work in speedy entry. Using templates, only sometimes the second page will be spaced differently from the first
