Finale Forum

Okay, I edited https://www.finaleforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=17727&p=67379#p67379 where the formerly attached ZIP file did not show up any more. I attached it once again. Now it shows up two times. The former attachement reappears: ATTACHMENTS CC64 to Pedal Expressions.zip (2.31 KiB) Not downloade...

Thanks for the work. For what's it worth, here's my list of still missing attachments in the style of "[posting URL] : [missing attachment URL]" https://www.finaleforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=17727&p=67379#p67379 : https://www.finaleforum.com/download/file.php?id=6326 https://www.finaleforum.com/viewto...

I know it as a non-transposing instrument. The Vienna Symphonic Library page on the Cimbasso is quite helpful and correct: https://www.vsl.co.at/en/Brass/Cimbasso

For the record, in recent communications with MakeMusic over my decision not to use their official forum, I documented a long list of features of this forum that I prefer over theirs.

From your mouth to MakeMusic's ears!

Create a shape expression which contains the graphic. This way, you have full control over its appearance and its placement in the score or in different parts. You might create individual shape expressions for every part, which show only in the part, but not in the score. In the shape designer dialo...

Here's what people generally suggest to try regarding MIDI problems: recreate FINMIDI.INI. FINMIDI.INI only contains information for sending and receiving MIDI events, but it contains no settings for importing or transcribing MIDI files. Probably, the problem are the settings in the MIDI file impor...

There are two methods: either check for a range or run through a table which contains all possible values: print("Method #1: check whether the duration is within a range") local SmallestEntryEDU = 1024 local HighestEntryEDU = 2048 for noteentry in eachentrysaved(finenv.Region()) do if ( noteentry.Du...

Is it possible to change the color of note-heads for a selected notes? Like individual notes or a region. I see color choice attached only to pitch. It's possible with a workaround, at least for the noteheads (no stems/beams/dots...). As graphics are the only items which can have any colour, one wo...

The size is something to consider as small keyboards with only e.g. 25 keys need to be transposed to input higher and lower notes (they usually have dedicated buttons for that). 61 key keyboards won‘t fit on every desk, as well as an 88 key instrument. You‘ll be faster in inputting notes if you have...

If anything in any program doesn't get saved which it should, first make sure the program and/or the logged-in user has the writing permission to the drive & folder in question.
Just a thought.

actually, the sound for the track seems to be piano, not woodblock, but the reason you don't hear anything is that you haven't entered any notes on the new staff Very true. If you try what I suggested (add a drum set staff and enter notes for the metronome click), it should work. Usually, a "Side S...

Okay, then just add the drum set staff for the clicks and mute Flute #1.

Add a Drum Set staff, enter the metronome clicks and set this staff's attribute "Force Hide Staff".

Beware, your Flute#2 is set to "solo" - so unless you change that, you won't hear the clicks (and neither flute#1).

In my case I'd have to break all the barlines through 7 staves, except the central barline. What do you mean by "central barline"? This would only make sense if you have an uneven number of barlines, which would allow one of them being in the center. Maybe you problem can be solved with the creatio...

Would anyone here be willing to confirm that this bug exists other than in Finale 2014.5 on Windows? Then I can report it to MakeMusic. My results from Finale 25.5 running under Windows 7: File - Export - PDF method results in a PDF file of 48.241 Bytes (48 KB): File-Export-PDF.png Graphic - Export...

The Score Manager's transpose section is for transposed instruments only, like e.g. clarinet or trumpet. What you need to do is to select the key signature tool, select the whole piece and double-click. The key signature dialog box comes up. Select the new key to which the first bars of your score s...

I think that very thing came up here within the past few weeks. Maybe hunt around for it.

Voilà: from 3/4 to 6/8 simplest way, started on 26 Mar 2020

Utilities Menu > Change > Ties > Set "direction" to automatic. ...does absolutely nothing for me, with any combination of options. That's indeed interesting. In your posted file "extract.mus" I do see the problem. Trying to flip the ties with Utilities Menu > Change > Ties > Set "direction" to "aut...

I want them to look like quarter notes, and not like the picture below, with tied eighth notes in between quarter notes (the second measure; the first measure is how I want it to look like). Is there a way to automatically remove the tied eighth notes, or will I have to manually fix them? Set the d...

Do I understand, then, that I will not be able to import the piano MIDI correctly? There is no single correct way of importing it. Your situation can be put to music notation in several ways, e.g. these five: FFBeispiel2.png Importing a MIDI file is like translating some text from one language to a...

menu item "Lyrics Window" .....and here stops everything as far as I do not know what the "text box" is called.. (here I need to paste "press ctrl+v" the copied lyrics into the text box) Don't know if I understood the problem fully...but why would you need to know how the text box is called? The fo...

I must have done something wrong, because although I put in the channel changes and low E-flats in the flute part, those measures in the flute part are just silent. I hear the claps in the sample you posted, but not in mine. If you still have some time, do you mind helping me figure out what I did ...

Nick, as a more general question, could there be a way to use JWLua to generate multiple clipboards? Instead of having just the system clipboard, cmd/ctrl c &v? AFAIK there are only two clipboard-related functions in JWLua , both deal with copying text to the system's clipboard. There's no way a JW...

Thanks, but why is that obvious?

Just wanted to emphasize that neither the shift key nor the chosen letter key are part of the problem. Only using the Ctrl key leads to the unwanted opening of the dialog. So for me, it's obvious that the Ctrl key is the culprit.

Obviously, the CTRL key is the problem. Using a hotkey without CTRL will make it work.
