Finale Forum

thomsmith57 thank you for your reply. One last thing I need help with is how to save the expressions I created because I want them this way in all my documents

I will give it a try thank you very much

The pima points are saved as lib file and I load it when I need to use them. I insert them with the articulation tool. What i want is a way to insert them in a fixed position on the side of every note (as shown in the picture) and not have to manually position every single one by hand. I want them t...

Hello everyone. I need help in positionong the pima points for guitar automatically (attached photo). I don't want to have to manually fix every single one. Is there a way? Thank you

Thank you very much!

Hello there friends. I need a little help (again). I want to replace identical rythmic patterns with diagonal lines (sorry, I do not know the name in English). I will upload images with an example of what I need.
I want this to be like this

Hello again and sorry for the delay of my reply. The file you sent me is exactly what I wanted, I managed to create something by creating expression category and I load it when I need to. Thank you all for the help.

The picture I uploaded on the beginning of this post is from a book. I want to create something similar in finale. For example I want all the finger numbers go automatically on the left of the notehead and the p i m a points above the notes (center of every note).

I thought so myself but still isn't the solution I am looking for. Now that you mentioned the expressions though can I ask how can I save expressions I create so I don't have to do it again on new projects?

Yes I am using the articulation tool for inputting and I already knew that I can edit the properties by right clicking the articulation. The problem is that I select the articulation to be on top of the note for example but it does not go there so I have to manually drag it where I want it

Hello there friends. I would like to create exercises for classical guitar and I wonder if there is any way I can auto align pima points and numbers because right now I manually drag them and it takes a lot of time for a single page. I attach a picture with an example

Ah, thank you so much, there are so many features in this program. I have another question if you don't mind. I input an 8th note triplet which I want to be legato (hammer-on followed by pull-off). Despite the fact I put a slur on the triplet, on the playback I don't hear the legato sound, it plays ...

Hello there friends, I have a little problem I hope you can help with. I write pieces for classical guitar and I insert p, i, m, a symbols for the right (or left) hand. I load the tablature --> guitar articulations.lib for this. The problem is that on the playback, the program plays a trille where t...

Thank you my friend.

Hello friends. I want to do this I searched the forum but the answers I see posted are very complicated. I want to enter the tuplets as shown in the picture but what I get is

Thank you so much my friend.

What I do step-by-step is : 1. I load chord suffixes (figured base lib) 2. I press chord tool and then I select roman chord style. Then I double click under the bass note and input the chord I want (it prompts a little window & I select what to show, suffix etc) 3. Because this results in the numera...

Hello my friends. I need help with something, I write harmony exercises in Finale and inputting roman numerals. What I want to know is if there is a way to automatically align the roman numerals under a note because I am doing it manually and it is time consuming. Thank you and be well. Χωρίς τίτλο....

Thank you!

Hello again fellows, I hope everyone is doing fine. My problem this time is this: I am trying to make an exercise book and I want to put numbers before staves. I do so by text adding. What i want to know is if there is a way to fix the number positions before the selected staves and not dragging the...

Ok ty for the help but still I really need to be able to separate the staves or combining them at will and I know the program can do it.

This is the problem I am talking about. If they are not separate the thing I want to change in the new staff (exercise in my case) affects the previous. I want it to be completely new staff with no link to previous one

I found a way but it takes a while. I create the parts separately and then merge them together in a new sheet and then I configure the page layout to adjust. I know for certain there is a way to make this easier though. I will try your suggestions, thank you

Hello. I am using Finale 2014 and what I need to do is write exercises. The problem is that I want to add a new, independent staff which is not linked to what I am already writting. To explain it better I need to do the same thing the enter button does when typing a text. Move to next line and begin...
