Finale Forum

So, i did some tests, if i open the file and print it to pdf with cutepdf or adobe and leave the DPI at 600 1200 or 2400 it lists and embed the maestro font. if I select 3600 or 4000 dpi it does not list or embed maestro font and if i go back to 600 for example without closing finale it does not lis...

Hi, I was wondering why if i print a pdf with finale 26 on win 10 using cutepdf or adobe acrobat pro it does embed for example times or maestropercussion but it never embed the maestro font. With the normal finale pdf export maestro gets embedded. Anyway also if it does not show in embedded fonts th...

Ok they replied and told me that they are going to fix it in the next version of finale probably

thank you

Can you move it with the arrow keys?

But if you can’t move it a small enough amount at 800% view, will anybody really notice the difference at normal view?

you are right

soundcardB,

I suppose that you are talking about the Shape Designer - right?

If you in Finale set the Measurement Units to small units like e. g. EVPUs, then you can finetune the positioning by typing simple numbers in the fields.

yes thank you, i'll try to set it as evpu

Hello,
i created a custom arrowhead but there is a really minimum distance to be fixed also if i move it with mouse at 800% zoom it is too big movement, is there a way to move the shape, fine tuning it with numbers or manually for a very little space?

thanks

If you don't use the old rather "Baroque" pedal mark (a below) the standard is regular, non-italicized Ped. (b below).Ped..JPG

ok thanks, so maybe it should be updated also in the default expressions in finale?

The upside down V is for up-down damper pedal. I know I've seen some refer to it as a half-pedal. I've never known it as that. Starting a new document with the Default file will have all the marks. An easy way to get it back into the file in which you're working is to open the Default file, apply t...

If I understand you correctly, you see a problem with pedal notation in italics . You feel that the style should be plain, regular, vertical - right? My personal shot at it: 1) In music notation there are certain items that never appear “italicized”. These items have in common that they are closely...

Hi all, i was wondering if in your opinion "Ped." should be italic as in Finale pre-defined expressions or not and same thing about una corda and tre corde. Also i was wondering if n.13 and 14 in custom smart lines are the correct symbols for pedal change (and not half). And very last question, if I...

thanks!

Hello, I noticed that if i use adobe pdf printer and print the document containing for example toccata font or some personal created fonts I have to deactivate the "rely on system fonts do not use document fonts" to have a correctly printed document. i was wondering if anyone of you experimented thi...

This can be done with a Staff Style.

Zuill

with what settings?
i did a staff style that does not show repeat bars but it hides the second barline

Hello,
I did this


but i was wondering how to achieve this



i mean to have through measures barlines but also repeats on just one staff.

thanks

Please let us know when they respond and what they say. It might be that things will get fixed if we have more users report the issue. In the past, we were able to get the Finale Lyrics font fixed when it was missing much needed characters that were omitted. They responded fairly quickly with a fon...

DID IT, thanks

No, but since i use an original license of finale 26, if you tell me how to do it i can do it from my account...

The natural in Maestro Percussion without the arrows looks the same as in Maestro, but the shape with the up arrow and also the down arrow has a different shape than in Maestro. Curious that they didn't bother to match them.

Zuill

exactly this is what makes me perplexed

oh ok, i now understood what you told... i misunderstanded. Mmm yes, it could be but it continues to feel wrong to my eyes, but maybe it is just my perception, same symbol is on ligeti string quartet n.2 and it is the same as the normal natural but with arrow... I also tried the one in the engraver ...

My guess ia that it is a matter of being consequent. If you - instead - examine the arrow-less flat and natural accidentals, you will see a similar height difference at the stem top: The (arrow-less) flat’s stem ends about one Point higher than the (arrow-less) natural’s stem. no... the flats symbo...

Hi, i was wondering why the natural with arrow up from finale percussion font has different dimensions from maestro font natural, flats and sharps of maestro font are same size of flats and sharps with arrows of the maestro percussion font... Any idea? here the screen https://i.postimg.cc/pd1nYX8F/f...

that's fantastic, solved, thanks

Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to change the vertical position of a group of notes, if i use the notehead position menu, if I select a group of notes it only affects the first note for vertical position. I was wondering if there is a Finale Script or another function to modify the vertical po...
