Re: Inserting flat symbol into Score Manager/"Score Name" Insert with Raleway font
As near as I can tell, the Title frame in Score Manager won't take a symbol, even if It's in the font. I entered the title on the page, using Finale Maestro Text, which does have the flat symbol. But when I looked in Score Manager, the flat entered as the missing character box, which was also promul...

Re: Playback attempts lead to error:"Finale encountered an error and will shut down."
Since other files work correctly, try exporting your faulty file as XML, and then, import it back in. If that fails to clear the corruption, you might want to send it in to tech support, and see if they can determine the problem.

Re: sixteenth note sextuplet
What I meant is that most of the songs I’ve dealt with rarely have more than one form of tuplet. If your score has primarily eighth note tuplets <3 eighths in the space of 2 eighth notes> then you would set your default as just that. If your score is primarily 3 quarters in the space of two quarters...

Re: sixteenth note sextuplet
There’s no need in Simple to use the Alt-9, if you don’t have Use Current set. In my experience (at least, on barbershop music) you will either have quarter note or eight note tuplets in a song, but rarely both. So if you set it f.e. as <3 eighths in the space of 2 eighths> it doesn’t matter whether...

Re: How do you save/export a file as an MP3?
No. Or at least, none that I've been able to discover. I recently became a Keyboard Maestro user, and after a lot of mistakes, I finally made a shortcut for the cursor to click on the Type drop down, change to MP3, and Save, all with one hot key. Woo hoo! It's saved me a lot of time.

Re: sixteenth note sextuplet
I guess entering the first note before the tuplet may be confusing to some users, in Simple. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Speedy require you to define the tuplet before entering anything?

Please refrain from such sarcastic criticism. EB is indeed fortunate to have the program working so well for him.

Re: MakeMusic at the NAMM trade show
I completely agree with David’s outlook. Finale is quickly becoming the red-headed stepchild of MakeMusic, or whatever they’re calling themselves now.
Depressing, indeed.

Not sure I agree completely, EB. If it's a complex set of information, yes, we are here to help. If it's something that can be solved by typing "show hidden staves" in the search field of the help files, then possibly RTFM is the better choice. When I grew up (and dinosaurs roamed the earth) my refe...

Re: What am I missing about this program?
My experience with MuseScore is that it is adequate, but just. I kept looking for things that I would do in Finale, but they were either not there, or too well hidden for me to find. Still, if MS does what you need, no reason not to use it. If you would like a few lessons in getting started with Fin...

Re: Audio: two different pitches for one percussion instrument
It appears that you have two pitches for the claves loaded. If you select a note in the first measure, it will read Claves (2), but if you step through the notes with the right arrow, you will get to a measure where it just says Claves. You can use the up or down arrows to get to the other sound. I ...
