Finale Forum

That's exactly what I was looking for, thank you so much!

Hello! I was wondering if there is a way to do mass edits (for all staves at ones) for the smart shape tool, just like you have for the articulation tool or expression tool. For example: add a crescendo to all staves at ones instead of going through each staff individually. I know there's a way to c...

Thanks for the input but it doesn't really solve my issue. I'm currently working on a 6/4 time signature. When I enter a quarter note value, Finale fills out the rest of the bar with 5 quarter note rests, instead of one quarter note rest and one whole note rest, which is how I would like it. Is ther...

Hi!

Is there a way to make Finale autofill rests automatically with the largest value?

E.g.: if I have two spare beats at the end of my measure, make Finale insert a half note rest instead of two quarter note rests?

Thank you!
That indeed does the trick (most of the times).
Hope they fix this bug soon...

Since I switched to Finale v26 a while ago, I've been having issues with the score manager. Whenever I want to add an instrument in the drop-down menu, it disappears when I click on something, any of the instruments or categories, and nothing has happened. Similarly, when I add a blank stave and try...

I'm trying to pour a fomula into my score for a contemporary music class.
Is there a way to check the amount of notes of a selected section?
That would save me a lot of counting...

File Statistics and File Maintenance only give you the overview of the entire document.

Thanks in advance!

Yes, flipping the stem did the trick.

Thanks guys!

Hi,

For some reason, on some of the notes, the harmonic fourth is kind of slanting to the side (both score and parts) and I can't seem to move it back to the middle.

Any thoughts?

Yes, I checked all that, too.
It also appears on other devices I checked, so I'm not sure whether it's problem with my settings.

Hi,

I have 3's appear on the bottom of both my score and the parts, but only on the PDF, in my Finale file there are nowhere to be found.
I suspect they are connected with the grace note triplet, since they only appear on the page where I used that.

Any thoughts?

Yes, I have exactly the same settings. Note that I only have those jumbled lines when I zoom out (Ctrl + L; full page view). When I zoom in it looks perfectly fine. It wouldn't bother me as much if I wasn't trying to make a nice looking score video using screenshots of my PDF. Maybe there's a better...

They look the same as mine. Is it something do to with my screen settings?
I don't understand.

With Adobe Acrobat reader.

Right now, I use Microsoft to Print with 600 dpi, but even with a different printer up to 4200 dpi, it gave the same result.

Printed on paper, they look nice and neat, yes. How do I get the same result with the PDF on screen?

Hi, I have a problem with my PDF prints. Non-horizontal/vertical lines (like cresc, ties, vibrato waves etc) look absolutly horrendish. Cresc.JPG Printed on paper, however, they look nice and neat. How do I get the same result on PDF? Right now, I use Microsoft to Print with 600 dpi, but even with a...

The Tie Tool did the trick indeed! Didn't even know there was an individual tool for that

Thanks guys!

Hi,

I have a note tied to the next note over a page break, yet I can't flip the tie arriving on the new page. The command (ctr + F) is only flipping the tie starting on the first note. It's quite annoying since it moves straight through an accidental this way.

Any thoughts?

Thank you very much for your answer! I tried registering on the Finalisons forum, however, there seems to be a problem with their registration systems. You need an activation code sent by e-mail, but the e-mail has never arrived. I have checked all my spam folders and tried with several e-mail addre...

Hi, I am currently transcribing a lead synthesizer solo and I need to indicate the exact amount of vibrato (which, on a synth can be applied with a mod-wheel) used for every individual note. Is there a way to create a kind of wobble tool in Smart Shape? Something that goes from a straight line to a ...

Hi,

I have a problem when exporting my Finale files to either .midi, .mp3 and .wav.
Namely, the mixing settings I apply in the studio tab aren't exported properly.
I seem to remember to be able to export the mixing settings, but I'm not sure.

Any ideas?

Hi, I've got exactly the same problem with my few last pages, the only difference being they're much bigger instead of smaller. I could also fix the problem with downscaling my page to 25%, but then my header is scaled down to 25% as well, so this halfway solution doesn't actually solve anything for...
