Good to hear there is a new version. It never worked for me.
I'll download the 1.2 version today and have a go agaain. it's a great tool when you get it to work.

... also here the 27.4.1.110 works perfect with Adobe Acrobat Pro v1.4 driver!
And, may I add, the tie over system breaks is also an improvement.

Thanks Anders for confirming. Appreciated.
I have never used "Export to..." either and I am very dependent on the Adobe Acrobat PDF driver 1.4.
Clicking Finalesetup.exe now.

I tried export to PDF on a letter-size document and it rendered it as 10 x 13 and is over five times the size of what CutePDF creates, so I'm not sure there's much cause for celebration. But, does Print... (Ctrl/Option + p) work as before 27.4 with the Adobe Acrobat Pro drivers? Dare I install it t...

Just installed the update and I can confirm that my CutePDF works again.
Glad they delivered the solution so quickly. Thanks Finale !

Great! Thanks for confirming this. I will now install 27.4.1 and cross my fingers.

So, maybe this is the "official" respond from MM on this issue... https://makemusic.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/19490305668887-Unable-to-Open-PDFs-Exported-from-Finale-v27-4-Windows- Well, that's the good news of the day! So, it wasn't intentional! It was unintended! YAY! I can only hope/pray the...

...maybe a good reason to keep Finale 26 installed (27 and 26 can coexist). Loading a 27 file into 26 should allow you to create pdfs without losing too much time. hmmmm... perhaps a good idea. I still have 26 installed but I never use it since 27.3 works perfectly for my type of work. I'll definit...

Thanks for the replies motet and BuonTempi! Appreciated. It's good to know CutePDF might be compatible with v. 1.4! It makes it an alternative to Adobe Acrobat Pro in the future. Alas, it doesn't solve the fact the Finale 27.4 isn't going to be installed on my system for the moment. And probably not...

This PDF thingy is definitely a deal breaker for me. I have updated to every version since v. 3.7 but this one is not an option for me. I have a plugin in my e-commerce store, where I sell PDF's, that only works with Acrobat 1.4 version (or below). If I can't save/print the musx file in this format,...

YAY! Thank you heinzfan and Perotinus! And I even used TG-tools earlier to program F4 - F7 to select Layers! It was years ago and I had forgotten where and how I did it. Getting old(er), I guess.
Thanks guys!

Thank you. I know this and use it every day... But that brings up either the Articulation/Expression designer or Articulation/Expression Selection windows. I would want to be able to have my hands on the keyboard, type a shortcut and add an articulation via one of my many meta tools. And Your kind s...

I know there is, and I frequently use it, a keyboard shortcut for the "Selection Tool" in the menu (former train , now the arrow): it is "Esc". I use the "Articulation Tool" and "Expression Tool" all the time in my workflow and often find myself going back and forth between them. It's annoying to ha...

Will it work for copy/paste, rather than a direct insert? I don't think so, but not 100% sure since I uninstalled it. Meanwhile I use Windows built-in CharMap. It can copy and paste and also show the code for each symbol... But I would have preferred the "click to enter" feature from CharMap. I use...

An app like PopChar is invaluable for this sort of thing! https://www.ergonis.com/products/popcharx/ Not with Finale 27 on a Win10 PC though... :( Installed the Try version of PopChar Win v.8.7 and it works fine in all my applications (Word, Adobe InDesign, Notepad and so on... but not in Finale! D...

Thanks Robert!

I used this link before but no page opened. Now it did!
Thank you for your support!

Robert,

I have a singel user license for November and have v. 2.3 installed. I cannot find where to download this update on Klemm web site. Nor can I find anywhere to login with my username and password sent to me when I purchased the font.

Am I missing something?

Gilberto

Hi,

Remove the 3 dots with the eraser and use the barre tool (activated arched line on your image) and draw it from string 3 till 1 and let go of the mouse button.
I hope I understood your question...
Gilberto

Peter, you are a gem!
I thought I had clicked every singel button and box in all of Finale related to chords... but you found the one I didn't check out thoroughly!
Thank you for your help. Much appreciated.

Hi, I usually use the standard dots in my guitar fretboards but this once, I'd like to use the numbers instead. I noticed that (especially when printed) they are almost invisible. In particular the digit 1: It fluctuates with the "string line" itself. I would like to make the numbers bold and/or ita...

If the original piano score is entered in layers, you can use the "Show only active layer" button, activate the layer you want to copy, mark the/all measures you want to copy/move to another staff, and drag it to the empty staff.

Hope this helps.

In Windows it opens this page: http://usermanuals.finalemusic.com/Fina ... cshid=9501 in Chrome.

Note: without the https... that's weird.

Dear Zoots and miker, Thank you both for your replies. Appreciated. And thank you for your offer for me to send you a score, miker. But I think I will do as Zoots suggested and download the demo. That should give me a fairly good idea how it will work. Zoot, I still think the Finale ordering page is...

A bit OT... but I'll try anyway. To those of you that already have the Pro version: I have a huge analog sheet music library that I have collected through the years (before and parallell with Finale). I would like to scan and make them digital. Mostly piano and guitar scores. (I'll be occupied for y...

motet,

Thank you again! I just downloaded it and will have a look at it. Thanks for the instructions how to get started. If I find out some useful stuff that might be useful for others, I will post a Finale.Instruments file here later.

Cheers!

motet, It works! Perfect! Thank you! Am I impressed? Yes! Thank you! I am so grateful! I owe you that beer! Now I'm getting greedy: I tried to do this in the free https://sqlitestudio.pl/ but it looked like gibberish. Is there a software you can recommend, that is more usable for a non-software deve...
