Finale Forum

Thanks Warren - no, i'm looking for the equivalent to a read only in MS Word that would allow the user to open, play and follow it in finale but not edit or save over it. Is it possible?

Is there a way of protecting finale files (like 'read only' files) so that they cannot be edited or overwritten by recipients after e-mailing?

Hi, Yes, I am using Finale 2008 and the music is notated in a neutral key signature. I had been transposing through the utilities menu. I like the idea of using the staff tool, however cannot seem to get it to do what I want it to do. To clarify, i'm seeking to transpose the music so it reads not as...

I'm trying to transpose a piece of music from concert to Eb alto. I'm finding I have two problems when I try to do this: i.

Kind regards,

The top system margin remains the same however. I've the...

Ok. Here goes. I'm trying to have 4 equally spaced systems on the front sheet to allow for a heading and 5 equally spaced staves thereafter. I want to leave enough room for chord symbols as well. Would appreciate any tips you can offer, since I think the problem is inherent in my standard finale tem...

My zip file is too big at over 100kb

i'm trying to but its saying file extension.mus can't be uploaded. Any ideas?

Here is an example

I'm having serious problems adjusting the layout of a piano score i've prepared, particularly relating to the system margins. At about 100%, each system seems to have 2 inches space in the margin. I try to adjust using the top left handle, which is coloured out black. I move it down though and nothi...
