Yeah, but still how do I do the alignment?

Hi again:
For the 8va bass sign, how can I get the dashed line to start at the same position than the regular 8va sign? I mean, just about the middle of the "va"

Thanks again

Exporting importing xml works, thanks a lot. Not everything is as it was though, font sizes and values for the staff size changed, even if they look the same on screen at the same zoom level... All plugins actions were reverted, as well as the default spacing. But I can resume... Still I wonder what...

Well, I managed to move the staff just over the strings, then deleted it. I saved and closed Finale. Reopen the file and the staff was indeed erased. Then I tried showing all staves of a system, ok. Then, I wanted to split the systems into two in the utilities menu, Finale crashes again.

I reverted and left just 1 staff and the weird one

Yes...
Well, I kept just one measure, and also deleted all texts... Still 384 KB and cannot be uploaded.

I deleted all staves, and now 137 KB, which I'm attaching

Hello Bill, it reduces ⅓ to 452 KB, still too large for uploading here... I selected all with selection tool, then Edit->Clear all items, are there more things to clear? If I try to show the staff it appears to be at the very bottom of the screen, out of the program window, with no zoom out capabili...

Is a 623 KB too large? cannot upload it here...
Can you give an email?

Does not work either

Hi I'm working on an orchestral score, and somehow Finale created a staff, numbered 16896 !!, that's hidden and I can move it up or down, but cannot show it, so I don't know how to get rid of it. Is there another way to delete a staff? or could somebody help me, taking a look to this file? Thanks in...

Hello, I have not found how to globally change the font for the numbers that the Number Repeated Measures applies, since every time I invoke the plugin a new set of numbers is created... Any thoughts?

Felipe

Yes, yours worked fine.
Can I somehow set the scooting be shorter? moving mine to the left starts to cover the sharp, with just one arrow click.
This is so weird, after downloading your file and exporting to pdf via Graphic tool, which worked just fine, I tried again with my file and worked too...

No, it's just a line from the handle to the insertion point

Thanks Motet, but this is more specific, in the attached image is what I want, but notice the hairline just right to the sharp, I cannot get rid of it moving the expression. That's why I tried importing a graphic.
But anyway, exporting pdf via Graphic Tool is not working.

Felipe

I was exporting with the graphic tool, after placing the expression/graphic and saving.

Hello, I'm having an issue, I'm on Mac, Monterey Finale 27.4.1.146 No matter what, I'm not able to create a white rectangle to mask some elements in a score. I've tried importing pdf, jpg, bmp, gif, svg, and png files; I also created a white shape as an expression. On screen, they're fine and do the...

Thank you, never used that plugin before...

Hi, since the last update to 27.4.1, I can't get the Space Systems Evenly command of the Layout tool to properly work. It keeps pushing systems to following pages, even if "Do no change the number of systems in each page is selected" Any thoughts? I'm still with OS Monterey in my Mac, just in case. ...

I solved deselecting avoiding collition of clefs.

My point is just that, the more crowed system is better spaced, except for the las eighth, there are no collitions.

The clef change in the left hand causes the problem or is related to it. If I delete the clefs, spacing is ok.

Hi everyone: Just in case, yesterday I updated to F27.4.1. Please see the attached. When moving a measure to another system, thus making more available space, the Finale spacing is wrong (after cmd-U, cmd-4). What's going on? (It is a work still in progress) Captura de Pantalla 2024-01-09 a la(s) 21...

Found out that in a regular text block, tracking indeed acts on selected characters. However in predefined or linked text blocks, such as the title you enter in the setup wizard, all the text is processed. Too bad I'll need to manually rewrite every title now...

Felipe

Hi, could anyone please explain to me how to use de tracking command of the text tool; I have some all uppercase letter tittles that need some kerning, I understand tracking should do it, but haven't found how... If I select the pair of characters I need closer and enter a negative number, the whole...

Hello every one. I have this piano piece in which for a few measures the left hand is written in the lower staff, together with the left, and at some places the share common rhythms, including rests. I'm using layers for each hand, but how can I force the rests to be shown separately and not merged ...
