Re: Reset EVERYTHING to default

I got answer from helpdesk: In the key of C the chord will always be automatically interpreted as D/Gb, also E/Ab or A/Db, "because it's a program and does not know anything about music". I'm... a little disappointed. While one can easily program an app that can correctly tell the third of a chord, ...

In this case it would be handy if you @miker add the username to your question.. since part one seems to be adressed to me (@bamboleate), and the second part to @motet, otherwise your questions make no sense - to me that is, but just for the sake of completity (is that a word?)

Re: Reset EVERYTHING to default

Does D/F# mean a D major chord in first inversion? Yes, or - in pop music it's written like that, so the bass player of a band knows he should play the third of the chord, abd the guitar player can play a D major chord, that's how they're meant. One could also play first inversion chords but it's n...

Re: Reset EVERYTHING to default

What chord were you expecting it to show? For work I input a lot of sheet music, and there is this chord that consists of three notes, maybe some are doubled while playing, but that doesn't matter for writing them down on a sheet. If I have for example a sheet in C major and I go on chord input, an...

Re: Reset EVERYTHING to default

I have done what you wrote, delete the prefs, no help, opening a default doc and entering f#,a,d (bottom note is f#, top note d) as a chord on the MIDI Keyboard results in a chord symbol D/Gb So I "completely" uninstalled Finale following https://makemusic.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003352327-...

Reset EVERYTHING to default

Hi guys is there a way I can reset aaaaallll the settings for Finale without manually deleting everything and reinstalling, which would be my last resort? Mainly because of my problem with enharmonic "stupid" chords described here: https://www.finaleforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=21762 Somehow nobody...

Re: Midi input chord results in D/Gb?!?

Maybe it's possible to reset all the enharmonic settings by deleting and reinstalling some files? Just reinstalling Finale without deleting the old installation does not work... The problem persists with newly made documents "with setup wizard", so this is more general than a messed up doc, which is...

Re: enlarge the stems ?

If I understand you correctly, it's the "Special tools"/"Note Position" tool. Click in the main tool palette on the wrench then the very first tool in the palette is ONE quarter note (not the one with two noteheads) with arrows/triangles left and right. If you stay with your mouse pointer above the ...

I gladly enter the denseness competition, as you're no match for me I'm afraid. I'm sure that I could have saved you lots of trouble by asking the question right, but here we are after lots of back and forth and for those who read along: -Chords collide with repeat brackets and chords shouldn't be a...

Re: Repeat endings issues

You tell that “… individual bracket adjustments were translated correctly …”. If I understand you correctly, this means that you always make your "5x arrow down" adjustment before you resize an individual page. Yes, as I stated, I occasionally resize pages, but only after I can determine what has t...

Re: Midi input chord results in D/Gb?!?

The strange thing is (in your words) that it could read my mind until it couldn't. I mean by that, that a chord symbol, commonly written as D/F# was recognized and written correctly as D/F#, and then something happens, maybe I change the spelling to favor sharps or flats, because I have the feeling ...

Re: Repeat endings issues

Aaah I see, thanks so much, we're getting closer! I left all that default (/preferences/edit/arrow keys nudge by 1 pixel), and I virtually always view at 100%, so if there aren't any strange multiplicators, I shift the bracket by 5 pixels down?

Re: Repeat endings issues

Thanks for your answer! If I understand it correctly, you don't know either how much "5x arrow down" translates to how many inches, centimetres, pt, EVPU, lightyears.. Sorry, I get carried away, but in my understanding, every measurement unit differs, but if I click on the bracket and "do 5x arrow d...

Re: Midi input chord results in D/Gb?!?

If I understand you correctly, you are talking about {chord symbols} Yes they are chord symbols , but they're entered by MIDI input in a piece in C maj (but not limited to Cmaj, if I change the key to D the Chord that should read D/F#, but is written as D/Gb becomes E/Ab). I do not have any capo ch...

Repeat endings issues

My ending brackets are not attatched to the staff where they should be. If I click the bracket, do five times arrow down, it's attatched like I want it to, also the chord symbol is not colliding with the bracket anymore. There has to be an automated way to do this. One of the questions is: Is the on...

Midi input chord results in D/Gb?!?

This is hardly a beginner question as I experience this as a longtime user and I'm pretty sure that it showed D/F# as expected before. But how to change it "back"? I have to input many many chords and it's a pain to check them all for spelling. If the context is difficult, say Finale has to determin...

Re: Speedy Entry very slow

...For all the others that came here to look what you could do about it, try reinstalling. That solved the issue for me. I also played around with AU's Garritan yes or no, Smart music or quicktime, and MIDI Thru on/off, it did have an impact on how slow it was, but like I said, reinstalling (from a ...
