Finale Forum

I'm working on a piece that is almost ENTIRELY this rhythm. I don't know much about Scripts, but is there a script or plugin that could automate this at least a little bit?

So, I opened the same document on a different computer with no change in formatting (although you said it was bunched up when you opened it regardless?). Is it possible that my installation is corrupt on the original machine?

I'm continually running into weird problems with this score? When switching from "Display in Concert Pitch" to transposed score, the formatting at the Coda break mushes a bunch of measures together. Have I done something weird here? Just for context, I created the Coda using the Measures > Create Co...

Weird, now it's letting me?

Smart shape? I see, I should have been using Articulation?

Can anyone tell me why I can't enter a trill in this document? I've tried on a couple different machines, so I'm assuming it's document specific? Thanks!

Thanks, and thanks for catching that! Both measure numbers AND Repeats seem to be turned off in various parts? Not really sure how that happened? I started from Setup Wizard, and have done no entry?

Apologies if this has been asked, but a search didn't reveal the answer. I created my own template for Jazz Band. I wanted measure numbers on every measure in the bottom system of the score, but this is reflected in parts as well. How would I change this?

Ok, one more complication: When I open the Empty doc, no libraries that you posted, then add the library, it's fine. If I create a new doc, no libraries from the File menu, it's messed up?

Interesting...thank you for the document. I opened and saved as "Empty 1." All suffixes are fine. The document you suspect to be corrupt was created with the "Setup Wizard"? How is it possible that it is corrupt? As for the various "7's," I'm assuming those are vestiges of older palettes that I hadn...

Additional differences

Interesting...thank you for taking the time to look. The screenshots I posted are from the two documents, are you saying that it didn't look like that when you opened it? They are pictures of the same suffixes, but the triangle is a different font, and the half-dim symbol is a different size. (Sorry...

Yes, thanks. Here are examples:

Thank you for the help!

I’m trying to standardize my chord palette. After much editing for nomenclature, placement in the palette (based on frequency of use), font, size, etc., things are a little more the way I need them. However, when I save this library, and try to open it in a new document, the fonts and sizes aren’t r...

It did indeed. Thank you for the tip!

Thanks for the help. I've got a copy of 2014 on an older drive, and that was able to open all of the files. (The mystery files that wouldn't open were not Finale files I suspect...text files created in AppleWorks possibly?). As for the SEA, I did as suggested and got a copy of Stuffit, but that stil...

Apologies if this question has been thoroughly answered already, but I didn't find an answer in forum search. This is on Mac platform, Finale 25, High Sierra. I'm trying to open some old Finale files (unsure of the original version, but the file shows: created and modified 4/99? The files appear as ...

Thanks, asking for a student and I couldn't figure out what the heck they did.

In the attached document, the formatting of the last two pages explodes. Any insight why, or the best fix?
Thanks!
