Re: Disappeared posts
There is a discussion thread on the "Finale Powerusers" FaceBook page that could be relevant. Too bad, as I came to this forum because of Ron and his invaluable good advice.

Re: Special offer
When you "upgrade" does the old version remain on your computer and still works? I have currently have 2014.5, but am seriously considering this given the reduced price. You can keep as many old versions on your computer as you like, However, as to the question of whether they work or not, that is ...

Re: Finale 2012: Changing clef
Highlight the area then select your clef. I find the easiest way is to drag the mouse (holding the mouse button) beginning where I want the change to occur to the end of the measure and either right click to get the drop down selection menu from which I can choose clefs, or simply click on the clef ...

My copy of Forsyth's "Orchestration" was $8.10 in 1962.

Re: MM Feature requests
I'd like to endorse the ability to ask about a problem and get the answer, "It works for me." I ran a spectral analysis (with Audacity) on the output WAV function from a Finale score. I got a frequency cutoff at 15000cps and a shape that looked like 128bit mp3s do. I asked about this and was told t...

Re: Finale 2012: "/" at once
We have not broken beams for lyrics for about 100 years. Modern practice is to beam according to the time signature. So, please don't do this, unless you intend your works to look like they were written in 1917 instead of 2017.

Change your time signature to 8/8 and display it as 4/4.

Re: MM Feature requests
I have just come over from MakeMusic's forum and discovered this discussion. I could not agree more with Spence's remarks. Finale is flawed, but it does what it does better than any other product. It is too bad that those who try to defend Finale get slammed mercilessly because of their "overzealou...

Glad to be here
It took me a while to find this forum, but I am so glad to see pros like Zuill and Ron B. (Ronald J Brown now). These guys really know their stuff and I missed them on MakeMusic's forum.

Re: MM Feature requests
I don't care how long you have been using Finale--you can't know what other people's experience is like. To argue that your experience is the one true one and that everyone else is mistaken or doing something wrong strikes me as arrogant and not very helpful. How is this helpful? Some people do use...
