Out of range warning plug-in
Posted: Mon Oct 10, 2011 10:36 am
I suggest Finale adds a plug-in that colours notes red while entering if they go outside the "normal" range of the instrument.
It should not correct anything for you but suggest you're about to burst the limits.
It should either be set by default with the option to turn it off, or it should be an add-on to choose when setting up a new document. Preferably in the Wizard.
There should be options to to define the level of "normal" range, such as elementary, medium, advanced player, or custom if you're writing for a specific player. A very young student might have problems with a certain note in the system, but not the ones above or under.
I think this plug-in would be a great help not only for music teachers, but indeed compsers and arrangers at different levels.
