Re: eighth note triplet with quarter note as second note
I don't know what you mean by the 'cursor'. ... At this stage I have an eighth note hovering over the screen. If I change to the eraser and rub out the two rests, I'm left with the eighth note with a tiny bracket underneath (with a 3 under it). There is nowhere to enter the quarter note. By "cursor...

Re: eighth note triplet with quarter note as second note
Is this the triplet you mean? 0681.png In Simple entry, enter an eighth note and press 9. If you haven't changed the defaults you'll get a triplet of your eighth note and two eighth rests. (Otherwise, Undo, press Alt+9, and pick three eighths in the space of 2). Now move the cursor to each eighth re...

Re: How to create triplets of 4 quarter notes in 3/4 time
In Simple entry, enter the first quarter note, then press Option+9. Select four quarters in the space of 3 quarters and click OK. Finale will then create the triplet padded out with quarter rests. Replace the rests with your notes.

Re: Page format - score
That can happen if you change the page layout with the Page Format tool on your existing pages but don't reflect the changes in Document/Page Format. When new pages are created as you add music, it uses the latter settings rather than continuing the format of the existing pages. If you're starting a...

Re: Page format - score
One of the choices is "all pages of current part/score," so as long as you do it from the score you should be OK. Check to make sure before saving, though!

Re: Dotted quarternotes are played back with no dot
I don't think you need to worry about it.
Can you attach a file exhibiting the problem? It only need be a few measures.

Re: Copying multiple measures with many clef changes
Not sure what that's about. This is not an emergency.
mmike's advice is exactly right. I think if you uncheck Use Filter it will not copy the initial clef correctly.

Re: Tuplets within tuplet
As Peter says, Speedy entry can handle nested tupets, but Simple entry can't do it as well. If you're using Simple entry, I suggest you turn off "check for extra notes" in the Simple entry options, then enter all the notes in the measure non-tupletized. Then switch to the separate Tuplet tool and ad...

Re: Expression Selection Dialogue Box opens reduced every time
When you were having trouble with the Expression dialog, did you drag the bottom of the window to enlarge it? That should have updated those numbers in finale.ini. Try doing that now--make the window a little bigger or a little smaller, and see if it sticks.

Re: Expression Selection Dialogue Box opens reduced every time
Try this: Close Finale. Locate your finale.ini file, which will be in a directory similar to C:\Users\Bjnick\AppData\Roaming\MakeMusic\Finale 27 (substitute your Windows name for Bjnick as appropriate). Open finale.ini in an editor, and look for a line that looks like this: SelExprWinpos=645 395 127...

Re: Print pref?
In my case I use the keystroke triggering the macro instead of the Finale print button or Ctrl-P. Same number of steps (fewer, since Check Current doesn't need to be clicked).

Re: How do we double note values in a passage?
It's probably because you're changing time signatures. If you double the note values in a 4/4 bar, it's pushing things into a 7/16 bar down the road. Seems like instead you want the 4/4 bar to turn into a 4/2 bar, 3/4 to 3/2, 7/16 to 7/8, etc.

Re: Adjusting multimeasure numbers when measure numbers are ignored
If the combined measures really are too cramped to edit, do it last thing. But you can edit in Scroll view and it shouldn't be an issue. I agree nobody is going to count the rests, but it might be a good idea to leave the number for measure counting in general. But you could instead devise an expres...

Re: Adjusting multimeasure numbers when measure numbers are ignored
In your example I would make the first two measures into an 8/4 measure displayed as 4/4; the JW Meter and Rhythm plug-in will help with this. Perhaps that will work on the cadenza measures that you've split to remerge them.

Re: note mover tool
I don't understand your question, but to see what's in what layer, you need to turn on score colors in Preferences. Then layer 1 will be black and layer 2 red. Everything will print black.
