PDF to Finale
What's the name of the program that can read a vector PDF file made with Finale and turn it into MusicXML (as opposed to plain scanning).

Re: flute cadenza over ensemble in slow passage
Finale is always going to maintain vertical alignment on playback. I guess I would write the accompaniment in normal meter and write the flute part such that it aligns with each downbeat approximately how you like it. Use independent time signatures in the flute part and set the time signature to wh...

I think I would live with the built-in wings. Few people are likely to notice.

Re: Sol-Fa Input plug-in
I think both Speedy and Simple let you reassign the keys, so you could make d r m ... = C D E... and either transpose to the desired key afterwards, or perform some trick with the staff transposition.

Re: TGTools menus lost off screen
Which TGTools windows are you talking about? The couple I tried didn't remember their locations. TGTools stores stuff in the Windows registry in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SOMUSQUE. I suppose you could try deleting that from the registry. You'd probably have to re-enter your registration code. The s...

Re: Handles not Showing in Special Tools Palette
The handles have never been a problem for me, but whatever. One can always zoom in.
Bravo for knowing about that and apologies to Jen for wiping out her customized preferences.

Aha!
Why in the world is there an option to remove the handles, which renders the tools useless?

Re: Handles not Showing in Special Tools Palette
If you are used to using the tools and are sure they're not working, and you have rebooted the computer to no avail, you might have to resort to resetting Finale's preferences file. https://makemusic.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002541107-Resetting-Finale-s-preferences-using-a-tool-crashes-Final...

Re: Finale Consistently Not Responding
You might try resetting Finales preferences file:
https://makemusic.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/ ... inale-etc-
If that doesn't fix it, then you may have to reinstall it.

Re: Speedy Entry with dotted notes
This might be a good use of the repitch tool. Enter one measure, copy it however many times you need, then use the repitch tool.

There is the Double/Split Stem tool, but I couldn't figure out the "split" part.

Re: Maestro Percussion fonts in Finale 26 don't show
The difference would appear to be Independent elements/Notehead font in the staff attributes. But how could such a thing have been set by accident?

Re: Splitting parts
You're exploding into a new staff or staves, right? You need to set the staff transposition of the new staff to Eb before exploding. If that's not what you're doing, maybe post an example.

Make sure the staff you're exploding into matches the Eb transposition.

Re: Splitting parts
The Voiced Parts business is half-baked. I always advise putting the two flute parts (e.g.) on separate staves for the linked parts--that way you can easily control exactly what's in the parts--then combining them on a new staff toward the end of the project for use in the score (the printed score n...
