As of Finale 2006, separate arco expressions for each instrument are not necessary -- HP automatically triggers the correct GM patch or (when using GPO) keyswitch. Cheers, - Darcy - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://secretsociety.typepad.com Brooklyn, NY On 24 Jun 2006, at 9:32 AM, Ken Moore

The question of fast alternation requires a different solution, because pizz. arco. simile can't be done directly. For any situations where presenting lots of information is poor printed form, I use invisible expressions. Since later versions of Finale now include a descriptive text, I can

I use invisible expressions for tremolo and spiccato, but I don't know what your first sentence below means. Surely the player needs written indications for arco/pizz. Care to elaborate? -Lee The question of fast alternation requires a different solution, because pizz. arco. simile

Of course, as of Fin2006, this is no longer necessary -- Human Playback automatically interprets arco and pizz. expressions, without the user having to define them for playback. Cheers, - Darcy - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://secretsociety.typepad.com Brooklyn, NY On 23 Jun 2006, at 11:17

Are there any other patch changes like pizz/arco that human playback recognizes in the text in an expression? I just tried an oboe/eng hrn switch and it didn't take care of that one. Wouldn't it be nice, though, if HP handled ww dbls that way? Don Hart on 6/23/06 11:44 AM, Lee Actor at [EMAIL
