When you have finished an arrangement and end up with one stave on the last page, is there a way to tell PrintMusic to spread the staves out equally among the pages? Or do you have to do it by hand individually, stave by stave?

Does anyone know if this MIDI works with Finale PrintMusic? I have the chance to buy one cheaply, but don't want to waste my money.

Why can't I make the arpeggio (or also used for glissandos) expression stay beside the chord? Even when I create it in scroll view, it always has moved to a different place when I return to the program. Also, is there any way to make a curved line that goes up and down like an "S" in PrintMusic? Tha...

In PrintMusic, when I create a new "expression" using the expression tool, it shows up at the bottom of the expressions list. Is there a way to save the created expressions, so I don't have to redo them every time I sit down to work? I'm creating pedal notations that I then have to drag below the st...

Why can't I make a pdf of my music?

I have a passage of a descending octave. It is in 4/4 time and the notes are eighth notes. The first note of the measure is an eighth rest. I want the first 4 notes to have stems up and the next four to have stems down. I cannot get the stem of the fifth note to turn down because it is connected by ...

OK, I found the arpeggio artic, but I can't make it slant for a gliss. Is there a way?

I don't see a gliss in the articulation pallette.

I'm using the Smart Shape.

In printmusic why can't I make my glisses stay in the right place even when I put them in scroll view? If I change anything about the score, the gliss symbol ends up straight up and much too long.

How can you make the pedal letters that you put in with text under a measure STAY THERE, even when you use 'fit measures' to rearrange the piece? Or when you extract one particular part?

Is there a way to renumber staves after you go back and add two new staves in the middle of the instruments?

When you have a multi-instrument piece, is there a way to play back one instrument from the score rather than having to extract the instrument?

I don't know how to post or zip it.

I know that "no sound" has been discussed before, but I still haven't been able to fix mine. It works on some pieces and not others. In one four-instrument piece I arranged, all four parts play individually, but the score will not make any sound. If you have any ideas, please help.

I currently am using Finale PrintMusic 2008. Can anyone tell me if I can get the Salcedo harp notations with an update to PrintMusic 2011, or would I need to get Allegro?

Is there a way, once you have finished a piece, to go back, add an instrument, and turn it into a duet?
