Re: Copying multiple measures with many clef changes

Before you copy, make sure you have selected "Copy Clefs: Always" in the Edit Filter
No before you do anything make a "Save as" new file. Don't mess with the original.

Another thought you can do whatever to this save as file. Just select and delete what you don't want.

Re: Trumpet Lags Behind and Plays Flat in Wonderful v27

Billy something else is going on obliviously. You saw and listened to my last piece. You can have the exact same results or perhaps even better. Troubleshooting from afar is always more difficult.

Re: TRUMPET Low F# Not Sounding--Gb Too

...Lower than that I wouldn't write for a Big Band section.
Wow, jazz charts routinely have a trumpet part with two ledger line A, B above it and middle C. At least all the ones I have seen or played.

Re: Finale 2002 Font issues

You won't get an upgrade deal from a "copy that's not yours", so to speak.
I agree. Your "friend' will have to ask for the upgrade and he/she will have to have the original serial number. And that serial number must be assigned to that person could be through an email name, address, etc.

Re: Philip Rothman interview with Jason Wick, MakeMusic director of product development

All I can say is my former high school and middle schools ditched Smart Music because nobody liked it. Not the students nor the parents and not even the music teachers.

Re: Export Manuscript Texture Setting to PDF????

Dave,
I did the same thing only with Photoshop and it worked perfectly its simply copy and paste. It is possible to have not only the backgrounds included with Finale but hundreds of backgrounds from Adobe Stock.
I started doing this when I was trying to design a cool looking cover(s) for my scores.

Your document (score) is already completed? I am not sue there is an easy way to do that in Finale but I am sure it is possible as everything is possible. The trick is figuring out how.

You had many hidden items. Removing empty ones and running file militance ended up with a pretty normal Finale file. You have a big score so it is going to be a bigger file.

Andreo another way which has many options is, you can have separate measure number regions. This way you can have any font size you want along with any placement being able to move independently.
