Err, I mean Mr. Tempi!

Does your moniker mean you have Good Tempo?
Good Time?

Or are you a Good-Time sort of guy?
Maybe All!

Thanks Again for your reply!

Best version of Finale for Mac Ventura

Hi,
I've been on Finale 25.5.0.259/Catalina.
I just got a used iMac/Ventura/13.6.5.
I just had to re-authorise my F25 on the Ventura machine.
It seems to work, but is there a version of Finale that is specifically suited to Ventura?
TIA!

Re: TRUMPET Low F# Not Sounding--Gb Too

Right, that's what I said. Lower than that I wouldn't write for a Big Band section. But Billy referring to Solo playing encompassing the entire lower range, which is admirable! Rimsky Korsakov has a famous orchestration book, where he lists the Full Ranges of all the various Instruments. But he also...

Re: TRUMPET Low F# Not Sounding--Gb Too

Hi Billy,
I'm referring to voicing chords low in the Trumpet Section.
Solo playing should certainly feature the entire range of the Inst, as you say.
Never saw Thad Jones write for Tpt more than one or two ledger lines below the staff.

Re: TRUMPET Low F# Not Sounding--Gb Too

Very true David. I think Billy May is more into Big Band than Classical, but I don't know ... My experience with Orchestral Players is that, even if you write for Bb Tpt, they play it on C Tpt. Only getting a note out of range, would they switch to Bb. There's a Stravinsky Score we played in the SF ...

Re: TRUMPET Low F# Not Sounding--Gb Too

That's awfully low for a Bb Tpt.
To me that's Trombone territory.
Many Big Band Tpt Players can't really play much below the staff!
I think it would sound mushy to write the Tpts so low.
YMMV.

Re: What am I missing about this program?

I learned way more from actual users, including here! Reading the manual didn't help me much 20 years ago when I was getting started, and I had no previous Computer experience. Didn't know the vocabulary, and randomly trying different things was not working for me. Now that I'm familiar with what I ...

Re: reverb

I use AU Matrix Reverb.
Under Midi Audio/Audio Units Banks and Effects
choose AU Matrix Reverb.
Click on the Pencil to edit.
I move the Wet/Dry Slider to Dry, and choose Room Size.
It sounds good to use Panning too, in the Mixer.

Re: F Cleft for Sax

I don't know any Sax Players (including me...) who read Tenor Clef!
Bass Clef for Bari is doable, tho.
Maybe it's for a Concert Pitch Score.
Seeing Tenor Sax Parts in Bass Clef drives me crazy.
Just one Side-Man's opinion.

Where are yesterday's responses?

The Oboe isn't playing Any Notes, there are no Instruments assigned.
Assign them and it plays fine.

Re: Volume discrepancy between staves

Do you mean Playback Volume, or the sound made when Inputting the Notes? Or both? I would give the soft notes higher Volume Expressions to compensate and keep going. I'd have a Playback Score, and another for Performance Parts. Are you using Garritan or Soft Synth, or something else? Of course, a re...

Re: Swing 16ths not working

I've had tunes that needed Swing on some staves but not on others.
I assume the Parts will say Swing Feel,

Try setting System Prefs/ Sound to same as what Finale uses. Also, long shot here, look in System Prefs/Security. Look at Microphone settings. If Finale is Checked, uncheck it. Or vice-versa. It's unchecked on my Computer. I recall some problems being caused/solved with headphone settings too. Seemi...

Re: Double the durations and number of measures in all parts

The time I tried it, I had to do only a few bars at a time, otherwise there were problems, similar to yours.
Try 4 bars at at time, some editing will probably be needed anyway.

5 Note Chord?
What are the other 2 Notes?
But seriously, what's the definition of a Triad?
It's a Chord with the 6th left out.
