Re: Page offset for Score but not parts

Is it possible to hide page numbers in all parts by once? I can combine them with CutePDF, and add pagination.

Re: Page offset for Score but not parts

Dear Peter, yes that is what I am talking about.

I didn't know it is the only way to do offset differently in the parts. I will proceed with your suggestions. Many thanks!

All the best, OCTO

Page offset for Score but not parts

Hello.

How can I make page offset number for the score (since I want to combine several files into one as PDF) and not for the parts?

Re: Using autohotkey.com ?

Thank you.
Okay, a simple question, I don't know how to begin?
If anyone has already something that works with Finale I could use and tweak.

Re: Finale (v25) and fonts behind 255?

i have done some tests.
If I don't have the font name in Macsymbolfonts.txt my font looks weird but I can see the all symbols, but if I add it it looks good but I cannot reach behind 255. What I am doing wrong?

Hello.
I try to edit a font and to add several symbols that I frequently use, but when I open it in Finale I cannot see anything behind 255 slot. How to achieve this?

Re: Manual positioning of grace notes

No, actually, nothing helps. It seems to be so for all grace notes. Rewriting in a normal notation than resizing is to awkward, too many notes.
Any manual position is undo-ed by execution of the note spacing. This is not the same with normal notes, they remain at the place.

Manual positioning of grace notes

Hello.
I have an issue that I can't solve. In a piece I have numerous grace notes, and somehow they are not well positioned. I try to edit them by note mover tools but every time I respace, they come back to the original position.

Hi all, In a choir score, the soprani start in unison (on one stave), then at bar three they divide into two staves. Everything is under one slur... How do I carry over the slur into the lower divisi staff? Do I start the lower divisi staff's slur as a straight line and curve it normally at its end...

Slurs don't work well because they attach to the whole chord, not the specific note within the chord; though you can move them and manipulate their shape,
You can add a slur that is beat attached, not note attached (default). Works equally well as a tie.

(Note: On the left is Finale default positioning of its Ped articulation, and on the right is my work in progress.)
In Finale you can offset your custom shape (position), so that it does the job automatically without further editing.

Noteheads can be mass-changed in this window: https://usermanuals.finalemusic.com/Fin ... GNOTHD.htm
Use „Find“ - „Selected notehead2 and „change to“ - „selected notehead“ and enter the desired values.
Wonderful! That helped me a lot today.

Custom beat duration ( 3/♪. )

Friends,
Is it possible to use a custom beat duration in the Time Signature? So instead to write 9/16 measure, I would need to have it as 3/♪. time signature.
I have tried to figure out this in TS settings but avail.
