Re: Graphics Export only works on pg. 1

Thank you, sir! Your memory is incredible... I did ask this once before, but couldn't find my old post to get the answer and avoid cluttering our forum. My apologies. The issue with 100% page is that what I want is the spacing between the lines of the staff to be larger, for beginner musicians. Hmm....

Graphics Export only works on pg. 1

Hello fine folks, Could anyone please tell me why I can only export graphics from page 1 of my score? When I try to export from any other page, it gives me an incomplete clip, even though I carefully line up the selection to grab the entire system. Finale file and example of problem (line 12) attach...

Re: Move items on the score

If it's "from another voice," as you say, are you putting these different voices in different layers? That would take care of the issue automatically.

Playback won't start at beginning

Hey you fine Finale folks!

Could you please give me a little insight on why this file won't play from the beginning? I thought maybe it was a pickup measure issue (though notation was never less than full measure there), so cleared that and still it begins on beat 2. :?

THANK YOU!

Graphic Export (selection) hot key?

Is there a hot key combination for exporting selected graphic?

Finale seems to have very few hot keys in general, which is mind-boggling to me. :shock: Would make workflow so much better.

Thank you!

Re: volume jumps all over!

Hi Zuill, THANK YOU so much. It plays back beautifully now. I actually have no clue how the Human Playback stuff works. I just use speedy entry to type all this in, but probably screwed something up along the way. I used a Roland GW-7, through a PreSonus Audiobox, if that makes any difference. Could...

volume jumps all over!

Hi folks, Thanks ahead of time for your expertise. I have this little ditty that I'm trying to create an mp3 track for, but the playback volume jumps all over! Seems unrelated to dynamic markings, and I've tried setting the MIDI key velocities to all the same, to no avail. You'll hear it at measure ...

Re: EnigmaTemp error - is my work toast?

Thank you, BuonTempi. Your suggestion worked, though the Clip File did not take staff styles and lyric fonts with it. I had to reformat that stuff, but way better than losing it all! Further reading suggests that part of my problem is leaving Finale open for too long. I guess that causes some temp f...

Re: Issue with clef showing after key signature on "always s

Hi Mr. Thomsen, Sorry if I'm just not understanding your answer, but I think we're talking about two different things here. I guess I'm really asking two separate questions about a file similar to the one I've attached: 1. Is there a way to make just the visible measures the same width? In other wor...

Re: Staff Line Thickness

I never thanked you guys! Exporting the graphic as PDF, then editing that in Gimp solved my problem! Now all of my staves are showing up thick enough.

THANK YOU!

EnigmaTemp error - is my work toast?

Hi folks, I know that there are EnigmaTemp error threads in the forum, but my search didn't show any that addressed my concern. 1. Is my work lost if Finale won't let me save or "save as"? I've tried copy/pasting into a new document but there is a ton of formatting stuff that I would have to redo. A...

Re: Issue with clef showing after key signature on "always s

The way I've done it - which seems to be suggested above - is to have an extra measure just for the clef. Then put the key signature in the next measure and drag the measures around. Is there a way that each system can be perfectly spaced like the system above, without having to manually drag the me...

Re: multiple measure numbers per bar

This is not a particularly elegant solution, but may work rather easily. What about hiding the measure numbers for all of your measures, then adding the measure numbers as two different verses on the lyric tool? You could drag it to be above the staff, if you wish. Of course this means adding the nu...

Re: Staff Line Thickness

Hey guys, May I jump in on the conversation? I came to the forum through a search because of the same issue and was wondering if anyone found a viable solution. Is there no way to raise the resolution of the JPG prior to exporting it from Finale? PDF isn't really an option for me because I'm often t...
