Finale Forum

It has been a long time since I extracted parts, preferring linked parts. But I believe before extracting you have to Manage Parts under Document; in other words, define the parts to be extracted.

Is Paste Multiple what you are looking for? You would need to use the edit filter to just choose Smart Shapes.

::: Bill

Usually with lyrics the barline is only on the staff, not between the staves, so this wouldn't be a problem.

Staff Tool > Staff > Groups and Brackets > Add > Draw Barlines > Only On Staves.

::: Bill

Change the tempo in the playback controls.

Using F27 I opened a template and did an extraction, and the measure numbers are there on the extracted parts. Check Motet's suggestion, or compare your settings to a template.

::: Bill

You are extracting parts rather than using linked parts?

::: Bill

Those top three are permanent. Note the different symbol to the left of them.

::: Bill

Fortunately I don't use 27 or Sonoma for most of my work other than testing, so I will be patient.

Thanks, as always, for your help and your leadership here.

I was going to set some shortcuts for Finale using System Settings > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > App Shortcuts but I can't get it to work. It has worked fine for me in previous OS versions but with 14.2.1 when I get to the setup page it allows me to put in the Main Title, but not the menu comman...

Use the Mixer to adjust volumes?

Not what you're looking for, but two dotted 8ths does the same thing as a duplet.

::: Bill

Use the Page Layout tool and Insert Blank Pages. You can change the page numbering with the Text Tool > Edit Page Offset.

I would start the upper part with an invisible 32nd rest and that will push all the 16ths to the right, between the lower voice 16ths. Then use Special Tools > Secondary Beam Adjustment to do the feathering.

::: Bill

The way I would do this is hold down the shortcut key -- for instance S for staccato -- and click-drag a box around the notes.

::: Bill

Is the oboe what is marked Soprano?

::: Bill

How are you making the tie? In Speedy, it depends on where the cursor is. If it is on a note, it ties that note. If it is between notes it ties them all.

::: Bill

To me that looks like a barline setting of Only Between Staves with a hidden system or something like that. Is there another system in Scroll View?

::: Bill

Under Speedy you probably have "Use MIDI Device for Input" selected.

::: Bill

Not necessary since you got it working, but in Speedy I dragged the G down to F and then ++ for the double sharp.

::: Bill

It works for me using Speedy. How are you doing it?

::: Bill

What naughtiness does Retranscribe cause with your grace notes? Reduced spacing?

::: Bill

You can start a new measure number region in the second system.

::: Bill

I am not sure I understand your question, but the answer might be the plug-in JW Staff Polyphony > Staves > Merge to Layers.

::: Bill

Mike,

The plug-ins folders are as expected for me, so there must be an answer to your problem.

::: Bill

The problem might be how you created the tremolo in m. 2. I cleared the measure, put in two half notes, then ran the Easy Tremolos plug-in. The tremolo I got looks different from yours but I can't post an example. The way I did it copies correctly. (But note I am on a Mac.)
