Finale Forum

drumstudio2000, I took a look at your document. Indeed I can confirm the problem - it happens to me as well. Fortunately the fix is simple: Staff Tool. Double-click the staff. The dialog box Staff Attributes appears. In the pane “Independent Elements”, de-select “Time Signature”. Since this documen...

In order to avoid a lot of trouble I would instead use the original document as a template for the new document. Make a duplicate copy of the document, open the duplicate, remove the notes, and save the empty document as a template. …I’m trying to export my drum project audio, but I need to export ...

Hi, I want to copy some drum grooves I have on a project and paste it on a new one (new, default document) How to copy all this drum notes, sounds, etc to the new document? All I can get is piano notes and sounds... For example: if I double click with the staff tool on my drum project, I get my staf...

I took a look at your document. 1) Since you do not have a Fine in this document, you should edit the text repeat, and change the text from “D. C. al Fine” to e. g. “D. C. senza rip.”. To edit a text repeat, hold down Shift while double-clicking the repeat handle. 2) You have set up measure 44’s “D...

You are using Finale 2010, right? I suggest that you attach a (small) Finale 2010 .mus sample document here for the gurus to examine. Before you can attach a .mus document in this forum, you must compress it, e. g. as a .zip file. And the file size must not be more than max. 100 KB. To reduce the f...

…I have 8 systems on my project, each of one consists in 4 or 8 bars with repeats (twice each one) I want finale to play each system, and after play the last bar, return to da capo and make all over again, but WITHOUT repeats… Your words “return to da capo” do not make sense here. You probably mean...

Hi, I have 8 systems on my project, each of one consists in 4 or 8 bars with repeats (twice each one) I want finale to play each system, and after play the last bar, return to da capo and make all over again, but WITHOUT repeats. Im a little confused using the Dc al fine in the repeat tool. Could yo...

1) I suppose that your attachment is a screen shot from another music program? 2) I am not sure I understand, what problem you are trying to solve (= for what you need the desired feature). As Far As I Know, there is not a Finale window that looks/functions like your attachment shows. If you could ...

my mistake l would like to have a metronome window box, with the beats 1234 playing trough while finale is playing the score. something like this http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oqMlaDxoVYo/UesBF7vR4QI/AAAAAAAAAQM/m8fkTbWU0V8/s1600/WebMetronome.png Is there a way or a script that allows me to see the beat...

thanks peter, with your help now I can make a bar repeats more than 20 times, thanks. last Q does finale 2010 (or any other version) has the option of showing up a dedicated metronome window? I would be very happy if there is a way to make finale shows the beats in a big easy to see screen, while pl...

drumstudio2000, I do not have Finale 2010 installed on this computer. I am not able to reproduce your problem with my own copy of Finale 2012. With Finale 2012 I get correct count off tempo, no matter what repeat Finale begins from. You may have found a bug in Finale 2010. I suggest that you contac...

Any suggestions? I know how to change tempo of one bar using tempo markers, but the count off is not following that. For example I have one bar that will play 8 times: first repeat: quarter 60 2nd repeat: quearter 80 3rd repeat: quarter 100 4th repeat: quarter 120pm ..but the count off is following ...

drumstudio2000, Are you using Finale 2010? I think that you can change tempo with expressions. I would use the expression category “Tempo Marks” - or create a new expression category by duplicating the category “Tempo Marks”. Use one expression for the first 8 times. In the Playback chiclet, set th...

I think it can be done with expressions, but why not just write it out the long way? (IMO, this is the easier way!) If this is just for a practice loop, what difference does it make on paper? You can always do another chart, with the instructions written out, for print. hi miker, it isnt for practi...

Hi, I want to know if there is a way to play a two bar phrase and, for example, play it
8 times at quarter=100bpm, followed by
8 times at quarter= 60bpm and so on.

I imagine it could be using endings (but dont know really how)...or there is another easiest way?
thanks!
