Hi everybody!
Is there any way to merge the voices of two or more layers in finale 2008 without rewriting music?
(I want layer 2 and layer 1 become layer 1..)

thanx,

arfo

thank you for your super fast reply, at! I know the little v1 has to change in v2 but sometimes it happens sometimes finale puts a flat or a bequadro instead of changing the v1 into v2 or viceversa... Generally I use layers too but I wanted to try a thing... I'll try again but I can't understand why...

Hi,
I'm trying to use the v1/v2 system in speedy entry tool but if I hit the ' key nothing changes (I'm a 2008 user..)

thanx

arfo

thank you Miker! I'll do it.

hi everybody,
is there a way to 'tell' that I want the same measure played x times, as for multimeasure rests? In other words: I've only found the one/two bar repeat staff style... what about a n bar repeat staff style?

thanx

arfo

..I'used character map sometimes but I wasn't thinking of it...

Thanx!

arfo

I did it (numbers inside circles) using the expression tool, as you suggested (i didn't read enough carefully..) and I've also created a metatool..
I'll try also the shape designer

Peter you're great! And super-kind! ;) Do you think I could use lyrics tool even for string numbers (inside a circle) using the particular font you mentioned in this post? http://www.finaleforum.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4896&highlight=fingering (is there a way to see the complete font 'map'? I'm l...

Hi Margot, you can do it, if audio track was played on a regular click: turn finale into studio view then go > midi audio menu > audio track > add audio track > load audio; finale will ask you at which bar (measure) you want the audio track begins to play and other options. Metronome has to be the s...

Hi everybody, how can I mix all my articulation (and chords, fretboards, dynamics, etc.) libraries in one to have it always ready for use? How can I set the default library for every kind of tool? Is there a way to insert articulations (guitar fingering in my case) all on the same horizontal line? t...

Thank you, Peter! I lost this reply and I found it now, casually... I'll try quickkeys. To assign a keyboard shortcut, right-click the shortcut icon and choose Properties. On the General tab, click in the Shortcut key box and press the key combination you want to use (if you press only a letter or n...

.. a bit of patience is still required..

thanx

arfo

once more: thank you ,

arfo

p.s. have I to do it note by note or is there some kind of 'batch' function?

Hi, I found this post while lookin' for an answer to a question I have (obviously... )
How can I obtain something like this (see attachment).

Thanx

Hi everybody, I'm looking in the forum posts yet but I'll try to ask too... How can I (can I??) completely customize my keyboard shortcuts in finale 2008? I foun the tg tools plugin but I was not able, for example, to change the way to configure tuplets with the speedy entry tools... I often found o...

Hi Kobitz,
thank you for your kindness and excuse me for my late in answering.
I downloaded the file but it appears to be a completely empty page...

arfo

Hi Kobitz! I'm happy you enjoyed my music
I registerd myself on finale guitar forum but where can I find the file you posted ?
All I see is this.. (see attacchment)

arfo

what can I say? Hope I can help you someway, one day..

arfo

..all began looking for something similar to the 'B option' but I think the ideal would be a B-C-D mix... D is probably my favourite one...

arfo

Hi Kobitz! Thank you very very much for your answers! I'm writing only music, not tabs or fretboards diagrams, now; so I need fingerings for both right and left hand and strings numbers.. As you say I'm definitely in the steep period of learning! :( I often found out Sibelius to be much more intuiti...

Hi Peter,
thank you for answering!
I'll try your solution but it seems to be very complicated (as everything in Finale..).. I guess if there's no other way..

arfo

p.s. and waht about string numbers (inside a circle..)?

thanks again

arfo

Hi everybody, I'm having a lot difficulties in understanding the best way to insert fingering in a guitar score; I found in the help manual that I should use the articulation tool.. I tried to do that but, if I have a chord, finale puts every note in the same place even if I click on different notes...
