Finale 25. Mac. Tapspace I found an audition packet from Broken City Percussion. It includes a piece called Negenacht. The snare drum has sticking (R, L) for most notes. In some measures an initial sticking (R or L) is followed by this symbol: >>. These measures are not repeats of the previous measu...

Thanks for the test. I tried it again this morning. I started with a line of notes with added articulations (accents, roll marks). It copied correctly. I then transposed the notes from one drum to another. No problem. I then attempted to copy expressions and smart shapes. They copied but the notes w...

Finale 25. Mac. Garrison Instruments for Finale, COMB2, JABB3, GWI, Tapspace. In a short piece for Tenorline (Finale), a passage for Drum 1 is repeated by Drums 2, 3, and 4 in turn. Each Drum is represented on a different space within the same instrument. I add dynamics and hairpins to the Drum 1 pa...

Finale 25 VDL 2.5.5 GPO5, CAMB2, GWI, JABB MAC I just bought VDL2.5.5. The manual mentions Finale percussion maps from WriteScore. These are supposed to save "immense amounts of time" with big ensemble arrangements. The company offers a product suitable for Finale 2014. Is that compatible with Final...

Zuilli,

How do you uninstall/reinstall Jari's 64-bit plugins? And does this apply to Patterson and/or Tobias?

Fred Van Doren

Thanks, Zuill. I opened a ticket with Makemusic and I'll update you if they find a solution.

No error messages. I notice that the Latin Percussion files are .MUS files and work normally. The Drum Groove files are .MID files and can be imported to Finale, but not through the action of the plugin.

The Drum Groove plugin comes with Finale 25. How would I check to see if it is 64 bit?

Finale 25, Mac GPO 5, JABB3, COMB2, JW Plugins, Patterson plugins, TG Plugins I cannot get the Drum Groove plugin to respond. I tried it with an empty default file and with a piano file. I select four measures, choose a style, choose "Add a staff" and nothing happens. I tried using an Existing Staff...

I just downloaded the full version of TG Tools. After finding the tremolo tool included with Finale 25 especially useful, I wanted to see what else it offers. It looks like the program was last updated for Finale 2000 - yes? Finale has come a long way since then. So for you veteran users, what are t...

I actually did try moving the carline, but that made no difference in the distance between notes where grace notes were needed. I've been experimenting with QWERTY, which I don't usually use, and I'm thinking that's the way to go.

I'm having trouble adding grace notes to a busy measure. Using Simple Entry I can add one grace note, as an eighth or a sixteenth. I can add two as sixteenths. But if I need 3 or 4, the new grace note will form an interval or chord with an old one. Is there a way to create more space in the measure?...

It worked! 6/2+4 gave me the six eighth note groups and 6/4 gave me the 2 note groups. The measure indication in the FIRST box (before the COMPOSITE window opened) got crazier and crazier, but it worked. Looks like this feature needs an update for F25. Anyway, problem solved. Many thanks!

In Chopin Etude Op. 10, No. 10 the left hand is beamed 6+6: two big beats per measure. The right hand is alternates between 4 groupings of 3 or 6 groupings of 2. Finale rendered everything as 4X3. When I select a passage and go to UTILITIES > REBEAM > REBEAM to TIME SIGNATURE, the dialogue box shows...

Thank you, guys. I'll try turning off the hidden notes. You're brilliant!

Hi! I have a piece in 4/4 with groupings of 3 eighth notes that go over the barline. I changed the automatic beaming from 4+4 to 3+3+2/1+3+3 so that all beams were correct except over the carline. When I select the measures and click the Patterson Beam over barlines plugin, it extends the beam but t...
