Finale Forum

Sorry everyone. I am using Finale 25. I just upgraded from PrintMusic and forgot to change my profile. DOH. Clear All deletes the repeats as well as the notes. I want to delete the notes and preserve the form. Select and then Clear Selected Items did the trick! I just needed to deselect the items th...

@zuill thanks for your reply. I've tried suggestion 1. but in my particular case I need to print the score as well. Adding the percussion track makes this a bit cumbersome. Suggestion 2. I'm not sure how to do that. Can you be more specific as to how I would record the WAV in real time? Suggestion 3...

I must be overlooking something very basic. I do not see how to delete notes from a measure without deleting the entire measure. I would actually like to delete all the notes from the piece but leave the form (measures, repeats, etc.) intact. Is there a way to do this (without having to delete each ...

I've included a countoff in my piece but when I export audio, the countoff is missing from the WAV file. Is there a way to tell Finale that I would like the countoff to be included in the exported audio? Thanks.

I've entered guitar duets in PM 2007. I pan the first guitar to the left and the second guitar to the right. When I playback in Windows Media Player and pan to the left, I can hear a trace of the second guitar from the right channel. I thought I had solved the problem by turning off reverb but I may...

In PrintMusic 2007, I was just wondering if there is a way to apply arpeggiation to all chords in a piece at once. Basically I'm trying to define a style for playback of chords. Thanks for any advice on this.

I uninstalled my VSC DXi synth application and then re-installed in: C:\Program Files\Roland\Virtual Sound Canvas DXi When I launch PrintMusic and go to MIDI setup, I see the following MIDI out options: (none) Default MIDI Output Device Microsoft GS Wavetable SW Synth SmartMusic SoftSynth 1 SmartMus...

I'd love to upgrade but it looks like the trade-up price from PrintMusic to Finale is $400 so that won't happen any time soon...gotta get the kids through college first!

Thanks miker, that works. I'm probably asking for the moon now, but is there a way to adjust the rate of arpeggiation, i.e., a faster strum?

Thanks.

I don't see it in Human Playback but is there a way to simulate a guitar strum such that the notes in a chord sound like they are being "strummed" rather than played simultaneously? Thanks.

I have VSC-MP1 installed for Band-in-a-Box but I can't seem to get PM 2007 to recognize VSC. How do I get VSC to appear in the MIDI Out Device selection list? Thanks.

This worked like a charm! Never would have discovered this workaround. Thank you so much!!!!

I've attached a screen capture of the final page. Exactly what I wanted!

I am trying to create 2 templates each with 4 separate staves. The first template would have 4 staves, each staff having four measures. The second template would have 4 staves, each staff having no measures (no barlines) and no time signature. I just can't seem to get a handle on this. Looked in the...

I have entered a Ritard (from 72 bpm to 60 bpm) for the last measure of my piece. The Ritard plays back fine in PrintMusic bit when I save the file as a MIDI file, the Ritard is not playing back in the MIDI file. I used the expression tool to add the Ritard. Any ideas? Thanks.

Well, I guess I should have RTFM. Yes, layers is very cool! I've got three layers going for another piece right now. I have automatic note spacing turned on though and it seems to not understand the continuity of the different parts (layers) which makes the score difficult to read. I guess I'll need...

Thanks! Looks like I've got some homework to do!

Would like to enter multiple parts on a single staff as shown in the image. Print Music 2007 does not let me do this even when I uncheck "Check for extra notes..." and "Fill with rests...". I am using the Simple entry method of entering notes. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

There is something called HyperScribe that allows one to define a recording tempo and click but I am entering the notes manually into the staff. If I could change the first measure to a different instrument, I could accomplish what I need but can't figure out how to do this. Your idea of adding anot...

I'm using PrintMusic 2007. My piece is for teaching purposes and I would like to have the first measure of the piece be a count-in measure using a click sound. Just a simple quarter note for each beat would be fine. I thought a patch change would do it, but can't find any info regarding patch change...
