Finale Forum

GPO 5 has a great sound on F#4, which is, according to the mapping, "tam tams tight". Is there any percussionist here and knows how it is done? Do you use multiple tam tams? I guess small ones? It sounds very different from the usual big tam tam, with a brighter and distorted sound, a bit spooky. Th...

Dear all,

as far as I remember, I'd one found an option (probably a plug-in) to detect and delete all unnecessary dynamics in a score. So e. g. if there's a p sign and some bars later again, it deletes the second one. I can't find that right know, am I blind?

All the best,
Ralph

Hi there,

how can I put cue notes of pitched instruments into a percussion part which has unpitched notation?

Thank you!

Best,
Ralph

Hi, I have the following problem: When I use the beautiful November 2 Finale font and do a TG Tools tremolo with quarter notes (which should become half notes), the result is this: Bildschirmfoto 2023-08-27 um 09.44.59.png Can I change either the font or the plugin somehow? Or is there another optio...

Dear Wess,

thank's, that really did it! At least I can copy properly now.

Remains a mystery to me how one does find out all these things...

P.S.: Actually the problem is that Finale creates weird rests. In a complex time signature like 12/8 divided into 3+3+2+2+2, it appears like this: Bildschirmfoto 2023-08-07 um 12.30.36.png If I then correct the first line, I cannot copy it into the second if I don't copy whole bar, which would also ...

Hi there,

I want to copy parts of a bar, e. g. only two notes or a rest into another one without having Finale to rebeam the bar at the same time. Is that possible?

Thanks a lot.

Hi there,

I use measure expressions to add microtonal accidentals. Is there a possibility to make Finale take them into account when doing music spacing?

Thanks!

Hello,

can someone tell me how to reduce the velocity of sforzato etc. done by human playback?

Thanks

Finally, I fixed it! If someone als has occurring this issue and is interested in the solution: Take the VDL General MIDI Set.sfz an replace: <region> lovel=1 hivel=46 key=38 amplitude=100 tune=0 loop_mode=no_loop sample=DS_SnHit_11_0002102C.audio <region> lovel=47 hivel=69 key=38 amplitude=100 tune...

I've found another thread with this issue:

However, they didn't bring it to a final solution, and I have not yet found out which are the missing files.

@Brown: Thank you, yes, I already did. I've made a video recording of the score playback to make it clearer: http://www.bernardynet.de/finaleissue.mov As you can see, the snare roll in the first ending triggers something so that the repetition works properly. The snare roll in bar 14, however, chang...

Hi there, I'm a bit frustrated, because I paid a fair amount for the Garritan Marching Band sounds and still have no drum set working. If I pick the VDL General midi set, it has the correct sounds, but it plays only every other note. I hoped the new Finale would fix this, but the problem remains. I ...

I'm using the full Finale 2014!

Time signature is 6/4

Hello,

is there a possibility to replace all quaver notes with tied eight notes by dotted quaver notes? Maybe by plugin or script?

Thank you!

Hi, I think you unterstand me correctly. The problem is, that in the transposition settings I can only define "interval" and "alteration". An interval of "2" still seems to be two half steps, but as it's based on the 7-tone-scale, the tones "b" and "e" become wrong (being transposed up 3 quarter ste...

Hello, I got two problems with quarter tones: I used the key signature tool to define quartertones and their correct symbols. I wrote down the score in concert pitch, but when I go back to normal pitch, the transpositions do not work correctly. For example an eb becomes an f with quarternote down, i...
