I see... OK. Same as always.
Thanks!

Hi there. Here two pictures: The original score in Finale: http://i66.tinypic.com/nlzdpy.jpg And the PDF export: http://i66.tinypic.com/hrggid.jpg Is there a way to improve this issues? I remember this was a common thing but it seems that even version 26 has still the same problem. Luckily I didn't ...

Sibelius has been doing this since the '90's.

Exactly!!

Give me an example: You want to enter 16 notes in cross staff in piano. You enter all notes in one stave, than using a shortcut they move down. The problem is the optical spacing and accidental spacing which is not included when cross staff is applied. So, Finale doesn't execute what you wish to se...

Yeah, tell me about it... MM and it's updates...
I've realized that trackpad gestures (zooming and scrolling) that work with Finale and Mac computers since years, do not work on Windows yet... Go figure!!

Neve mind!
I got it. Directly to Document/Set Default Music Font...
I typed Maestro Wide into the Font slot and worked.
Thanks a lot!!

Where should I type "Maestro Wide"? In which slot?
Normally I go to Document/Document Options/Fonts/Notation/Set Fonts
There are three slots: Font, Typeface and Size.

Hi there! I'm trying to change a score font, but I'm having problems trying to set Finale to Maestro "Wide". When I select Maestro "Wide" and apply it, Finale does not change anything and stays in "Regular". No problem with the other options: Bold, Oblique etc... Is this an issue or I'm doing someth...

Interesting that the world of the tablet has, at least partially, influenced the computer world. I use pinch-zoomng and two-finger scrolling all the time on my computer by using a trackpad. Thanks for this words. I do not have my Macbook Pro at the moment, I'm working only with Windows. I worked wi...

Thanks a lot bvstudios!!! That's a relief!!

I think the OP's question is totally valid, and I agree with him that there is a tendency by some users to dismiss posts like this out of hand as unconstructive complaints. Even though this is not an official forum, I think it is a totally legitimate arena to spike some debate about what's going on...

I don't get some of the answers here. Why everytime I make a critic to Finale, some people tell me to use some other app? Why can't I, as a Finale user, point out some deficiencies in order to make the program better? If the critics are not taken positive, where is the room for improvement? Touchsc...

I'm talking about Windows Touchscreen Devices, (not iOS or Android) they have been around for years and yet Finale can't even recognize a simple touch gesture. If you think this is the way MM tries to make Finale good then I'm very happy for you.
Cheers!

Hi there, long time no see. Since the locked down of MakeMusic forum, I didn't write any post... Actually I don't remember if this is my first one here. Anyways... Coming back to Finale after many years (yes! I am a Sibelius user too!) just to create a clean copy of a cello sonata which I only have ...
