Finale Forum

Found it in the beginners section. Thanks to Zuill!

Not sure what this is called, perhaps a courtesy key sig? It occurs at the end of a repeat measure, repeating back to an earlier portion in a different key. I need to reproduce this marking, but not sure what it's called in order to do the research. Appreciate all help.

If addressed elsewhere just delete. After I export an audio file, I can't get Finale to playback that file again without a full restart of the program, it hangs up and just sits there. I am waiting until the 'playback' notification at the bottom disappears so that I am not making the program do doub...

HAH! That was it! Preferences said "Reflow Measures Across Systems (Remove System Locks)" Seems counter-intuitive for me, just searching for an answer that would remove any type of locks.. Thanks so much to all! Hope this thread can help someone down the line, too.

Also. Just built a new blank piece of music using the software's new "Document With Setup Wizard." Can't use Fit Music to change that either. Still plugging along. Attached it here also.

Re: Music so small... Not sure Was going to deal with that after fixing the Fit Music issue. I suspect because the three vocal lines were extracted from a score, then imploded onto one staff.

Sorry about the 100 number - that was off the cuff. I will reinstall Finale and see if that helps. Thanks for letting me know.

For the life of me, I cannot get F 27.3s Fit Measure Function to work. The forum help topics (Thank you all!) have some remedies I have tried, but to no avail. I am familiar with the Fit Measure tool, have used it for years in other Finale versions. I am trying to break a 100-measure work into 4 mea...

I am 100% with that. BUT: the arranger is a granular-level, picky sort, who wants it done EXACTLY her way. Your suggestions were followed on the first version (not attached) and they were moved to where you see them now when she came back with tweaks... I had also suggested that we move away from th...

Zuill - kudos and Bravo!

I would never have fixed this without your help.

On Finale's Mt. Rushmore, you are the farthest monument to the left, watching the others!

Thank you again,

Attached is a neater version of this work after some changes by the arranger. The problem with the split measure (m.12) still remains. When placing a crescendo in the second half of the split measure, the crescendo appears in BOTH portions of the split measure. I even tried placing the crescendo in ...

I need to split in measure 12. Splits after the half note and the eighth rest.

File now attached. This is a Finale 2012 file. Thanks to all of you.

I will post the file tonight. Remember that is was done using a Bill Duncan template and his fonts. More Problem Info: This was attempted using page view. I do not know if scroll view would have yielded different results. As for splitting the measure. The verse ends mid-measure, and the chorus has p...

Thanks to all. Will try these fixes once I return to town.

In notating a choral / vocal piece from pencil and paper, the arranger has asked for a split measure. The measure splits between beats 2 and 3, no problem there. The arranger wants a crescendo for beats 3-4 (the second half of the split), but when applied, the crescendo appears in BOTH halves of the...
