Re: Finale 27.4 and Intel Iris Xe graphics

I had to reset preferences and also use DIsk Cleanup in WIndows. It works fine now.

DirectSound

Shalom from Israel! I'm using Finale 27 with the latest update, Windows 11 (also the latest update) on a brand new laptop. When I open Finale, either from a document or to create a new document, the default is ASIO. I want the default to be DirectSound. I can change it to that from Device Setup, Aud...

Finale 27.4 and Intel Iris Xe graphics

My fabulous bro-in-law gifted me a new laptop for Hanukkah. It's running the latest Core I9, Windows 11, Intel Iris Xe graphics, with 16 gigs of ram and a 1 terabyte hard SSD. And since installing Finale on the new 'puter, it takes forever to open the program, whether by opening from a file or openi...

Re: Yesterday's FInale 27 update

I try to open files both ways: by clicking on them in WIndows and by opening them from in FInale. I uninstalled FInale, restarted the computer, downloaded a new installer zip and reinstalled. I still can't 'save' files in progress. I can only 'save as' even for files I've already worked on.

Brahms Requiem and Harp key

The Brahms Requiem's first movement calls for the harp to be written in D Flat Major whilst the key is actually F Major. But no matter what I do, I can't change the key. Even if I make the key for the harp part independent, in won't let me change the key. Please help. https://1drv.ms/b/s!Aqni8cZw98G...

Horn in re

I feel like the stupidest FInale user ever but I have yet to figure out French Horns. I'm working on the full score for Lucia di Lammermoor and I can't get the french horn right. The nuber I'm working on, the final scene, is in D Major. The score calls for Horn in Re. The score doesn't show any key ...

Re: Lucia di Lammermoor

I've heard that whole recording and as I recall, the GH is only used in the mad scene after Lucia kills her new husband on their wedding night (due to a forced marriage), goes completely nutso cuckoo, sings the mad scene and dies. Apparently, too many interpolated high notes can kill sopranos.

Re: Lucia di Lammermoor

By the way, Beverly Sills' complete recording with Carlo Bergonzi conducted by Thomas Schippers has the glass harmonica. It's an amazing sound. Here's the link for the mad scene where it features prominently. https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=sCf_Z ... ture=share

Re: Lucia di Lammermoor

I checked on IMSLP and they have all the parts except the glass harmonica. So I guess I'll settle for flute. Bummer.

Lucia di Lammermoor

I'm notating choral rehearsal tracks for the opera, including full orchestra rather than piano. And the mad scene calls for a glass harmonica. Is there such an instrument in FInale? I'm using NotePerformer and I searched through every instrument group.

Polyrhythm

I know that some composers, including both Stravinsky and Ives, wrote scores with different time signatures on different staves simultaneously. And now, in Tales of Hoffmann, I've come to a spot where some staves are in 12/8 and others are in 4/4 and the bar lines are aligned. Any clue as to how I d...

Re: Horn in C

Well, I'm just stupid. And tired. Seeing as how late it is here in Tel Aviv is it any wonder that I didn't notice that the key of the prelude isn't A Flat Major but F Minor?

Horn in C

I'm setting up the score for Les Contes d'Hoffmann and it calls for Horns in C in addition to Horns in F. I see the latter but I don't see the former and I'm wondering if there's a way to change both the name and transposition of a Horn in F to C. Also, the Prelude is in A Flat Major but the Horn in...

Re: Tremolos without using Easy Tremolos

I don't want to use the plugin because unless I pay for the full plugin, there's no way to remove the tremolo without removing all the notes, too. And there is an articulation for tremolos under the articulation menu, so what's that for if not for adding tremolos?
