Re: script macros in V27 help
You can do it less "labour intensive" by using JW Change - make your selections and save them with the Sequence Editor as a sequence. You can assign a shortcut to bring up JW Change and all you have to do is click on Apply the sequence which will remember your steps and choice of notehead. Since th...

Re: script macros in V27 help
It is still pretty labour intensive for something I use multiple times so writing a shortcut would be useful. Can't seemt to find a 'how to' for this version of Finale, only for v26 and its not the same layout.

Re: script macros in V27 help
Thanks for Facebook suggestion.
Motet what I'm trying to write a macro for is:
Highlight a section or notes
click on utility then change noteheads to
selected noteheads
scroll down list and pick the one I'm working with most
Hoping I can find some way to shortcut the process?

script macros in V27 help
I'm trying to write a script or macro? to create a shortcut for something that takes me a few mouse clicks to do. Is there a step by step video for v27? I can see one for v26 but script editor has different look/layout so can't find what I need.

Re: extending beams over rests for selection only work around found
Found the special tools beam extension tool...this at least extends the beam. Don't get the little hook on the end, but, its a good workaround and not too time consuming

Re: extending beams over rests for selection only
It's unclear what you want to do--extend primary (eighth) beams over rests? Secondary (16th and smaller)? Do you want the beam hanging out over a trailing rest, or only rests between notes? There is a discussion here that may or may not pertain: https://www.finaleforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=15117 Be ...

Re: extending beams over rests for selection only
Of course, I have no way of knowing the context in which you want to use this beaming. But as far as I know, beaming over rests is a style usually used throughout an engraving. I would be concerned that there might be some confusion introduced for players that get into "beam over rests mode" and su...

Re: extending beams over rests for selection only
It is time consuming, but it can be done. Are you talking about primary beams (= 8th beams)? - or secondary beams? Take a look at the two attached PDF files. If you have questions, let me know.

extending beams over rests for selection only
I know this can be done globally, but I only want to create extended beams over rests on certain measures (and or selection). Can this be done?

how to get Finale to 'see' vienna ensemble? SOLVED
Just transitioned to iLok for my sample software and have Vienna ensemble 7 (Windows 10, Finale v 26). Finale can't 'see' it in the device manager even when I tell it where to look. Am I missing something really obvious? It used to work with Vienna version 6. Have been playing around for last day or...

Re: Automatic layout switches off
Indeed. There's no good reason to have Automatic Update Layout off and they should get rid of it. Meanwhile, does it happen with all documents? When you turn it back on, if you quit the Preferences dialog and then immediately reopen it again, is the setting turned off? Yes, the setting is still off...

Re: Automatic layout switches off
Select everything. CMD-4 (Mac) or CTRL-4 (Windows) to apply music spacing. Follow it up with CMD or CTRL-U to update layout. Yes, this will do it OK. Trouble is that when I'm writing the music does not reflow and will go off the end of the stave, so hard to keep track. Having to update every 20 sec...
