Finale Forum

I just figured it out!!! I had to uncheck "check for extra notes" in the simple entry options. Once I did that, I got the 2nd 16th note to populate!!!!

Bill - I'm using these instructions which are straight from the Help section... By default, the Simple Entry Tuplet tool will use the duration of the first note to define the triplet. If you want to create an eighth note triplet starting with a quarter note, you’ll need to use the following techniqu...

Ok, so I have some music that has a BUNCH of mixed note triplets in it. For example: 1 quarter 2 16ths 1 quarter 1 8th While using the help button and using the link below, I was able to get the 1 quarter 1 8th triplet taken care of. Now I'm stuck on the 1 quarter 2 16th triplet. I tried to use the ...

I think it got it! Thanks so much for the help!

I am getting something similar to this the last couple of days with Finale 2014.5. I was using it then I started to get an error message (don't remember what it is now - I stopped getting it.) Now the "popup" window to put in dynamics or articulations has stopped coming up. It looks like and acts li...

That makes sense!

I have been looking all over for that "Hide cautionary clefs, key and time signature" and could never find it. I just dealt with it!

Thank you everyone for all the help! I'm getting through this finally and it is making sense - even better. 2 more questions, although they are happening here, I have run across this before. #1 - I have 3 movement each with a different time signature. When I change the time signature at the beginnin...

It is actually Mozart - Violin Concerto. This is what I run across for a community orchestra with a limited budget. They get a piece and I have to deal with the rest! :shock: Anyway, I guess it really doesn't have a key signature....I am just thinking that way - thinking in modern terms! I will give...

Motet, I believe you are understanding correctly, I think I am just having a mental block on this and it isn't sinking in! :oops: To put it simple in my mind I am going to break it down... 1-start a new sheet for Horn in F 2-enter the A & E horn parts as written 3-transpose: down a chromatic minor s...

Thanks again for the help. Reading through this is helping me with Finale a little better. I have another question as I'm getting through this part. It is 3 movements with the 1st & 3rd movements for Horn in A. The 2nd movement is for Horn in E. In doing it through score manager it tries to make a s...

[quote="Charles Lawrence"]tcmschlosser, Did you see the file comment? It sounds like you did not rename the downloaded file by removing the .ZIP extension. I had to add .ZIP on to the end because, as of now, this forum will not allow the upload of PDF files, unless I'm missing something. Groan! The ...

Ok then I can write the original part, then transpose it back to Horn in F correct? Thank you all for all the help! I have had Finale for years and have not ever run into this and couldn't find any help in the help section (unless I was using the wrong key words which is possible!)

Charles, thank you for the information. The attachment of "finaleTranspositionChart_R8a1.pdf.zip" I cannot open. I get an error message of "The compressed zipped folder is invalid. Is there another way to get this information? Also, I'm not sure I understand how to get this started? When I go to set...

I play for a community orchestra and am also the Music Liberian. We have a piece that has the Horn in A & E instead of F. When I have had to transpose in the past, I was able to put the original instrumentation in and then "change instruments". I cannot find a related instrument for a Horn in A and ...
