Hi Peter, Yes, you are right, I meant the staff lines, not the barlines. Thank you. However, I tried what you suggested and it did not work. I continue to see unclosed staff lines at the end of a line, which is not acceptable for what I am transcribing. Any other suggestions? I can copy/paste partia...

Hi Peter, Yes, I will be using the Ottoman makam (modal) system which theoretically is Pythagorean (53 steps/octave) but practically speaking has 24 steps/octave. With each whole step divided into 9 komas, and the intervals between E-F and B-C counted as 4 komas, we use only the 1st, 4th, 5th, 8th, ...

Hi, I have been trying, unsuccessfully, to get a complete answer from Finale tech support on how to use Ottoman Key Signatures and Accidentals when working with a score in Finale. They have explained how to switch the fonts for Key Signatures and Accidentals to the special Turkish True Type Fonts th...
