Thanks. So basically...I would have to create TWO new staves for each violin part in the score? One to stay as written in the score, and then the extra two to take the top part and bottom part, which I would then have to hide in the score. I would then have to reverse the process in the parts...I'd ...

I think I did this once with Finale in the early 2000s...but I cannot for the life of me remember how I did it, or if I maybe just relied on the fact that parts weren't linked back then....here is what I need to do... I am transcribing/editing "Jupiter" from The Planets for a combined honor band and...

Actually, I discovered both types (accidental above the tr symbol, and accidental NEXT to the symbol) existed in the Engraver and Maestro fonts. I just didn't look far enough down.

Thanks for all the help, all!

Awesome....so frustrating that I was so close, but didn't think to Opt+Click on the Custom Line tool. Gah. I like the look of the engraver font flat trill, with the accidental being in line with the trill...but I cannot seem to replicate it in my own Engraver font...I'll play around with different f...

I found a Finale file online that had this indication...and that's great...but I also need the sharp and natural varieties as well, and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to access these. Screen Shot 2021-03-09 at 10.23.54 PM.png When i double click on it, the Smart Shape palette is selected...

I discovered that it had something to do with one of my measures. It had a lot of grace notes in it, and for some reason, it was causing the redraw problem. I only discovered it by accident...but when I did, I simply deleted the measure, and entered it again from scratch, but this time...no redraw p...

There is a limit. If you have a Dropbox account (still free, I think), put it there and post the link here. This is what is happening: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ikbhuqdwb53qipd/Screen%20Shot%202021-02-04%20at%2010.29.26%20PM.png?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/2t641qnrkr3s50w/Screen%20Shot%202021-02...

Anyone know why this happens sometimes? I can't seem to replicate the issue in other files, but it's definitely not the first time that this has happened, where one page of my file will suddenly disappear. If I zoom in, or out, it comes back, but...if I want to view my file in Page View at 100%, I j...

Restarting neither the program nor the computer merited any results...however, resetting the SRC and the PRAM seem to have done the trick. Just in case anyone runs into this issue again (this was the first time I ever ran into this, but it sounds like it's a somewhat well-known issue). Thanks, every...

What you describe sounds like the “virtual stuck key.” It’s a Finale issue. Usually a restart will fix it.

Alas, no. A reset did not solve this.

So, I took the plunge on Big Sur, having waited a few months and thinking most of the bugs would have been worked out by now. I was also heartened by the announcement on the MakeMusic page that Finale 26.3.1 was indeed compatible...but so far, it's a nightmare, and I am wondering if I missed somethi...

Here's what the Opus Special Extra font has.

Zuill

Weird...I'm not seeing it in my options when I go to change the notehead via Tools. Oh well, I did locate the notehead I was looking for in November 2, so I am all set.

I think it's in the Opus Special Extra font. Zuill Thanks, Zuill. I don't see it in that font, but...doesn't matter. Went ahead and purchased November 2...I don't mind paying for it now that I've read up on it, and seeing how many different glyphs it contains. That seems like it was a LOT of work f...

It is in the November font. There it is called "Round white notehead with dot". November is a great font, but it isn't free. ::: Bill Hmmm...thanks Bill. It must be in another font set as well, as I do NOT envision that the person who wrote the above ever paid for a font, hah hah! I guess worst com...

Hi all, Does anyone know what font set I can find the last notehead in this picture in? Screen Shot 2020-12-16 at 9.40.01 AM.png I assume that once I identify it, I can use the Special Tools/Note Shape Tool to right-click on the measure and change the notehead...but I am having trouble finding the a...

If your student hasn't tried rebooting the computer, do that. If that doesn't fix it, follow these instructions: https://makemusic.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002541107-Resetting-Finale-s-preferences-using-a-tool-crashes-Finale-etc- Alas, we did this and did not help. I'm starting to think it ...

What OS does your student have? I can't imagine that would matter, but if it's the only difference between your computer and his… Bill He's using Mojave. That shouldn't be an issue, though...when I was using Mojave, I was still able to do quick playback (in fact, I've been using it since whenever v...

… That just affects the full playback window...on my machine, I have it turned off by default (playback window hidden) and am still able to do quick playback as well as scrubbing, etc. If I have the window showing and I hit the spacebar it goes through the whole playback rigamarole, which is fine, ...

… A student recently purchased F26 on his own MacBook, and we cannot get the quick playback to replicate for him. When he depresses the spacebar and clicks on a measure, it merely selects the measure and does not begin playback (clicking outside of the measure is no use either) … Take a look in the...

Hello all, On my own MacBook (2019, running F26) and the one I owned before it (2012, Fin 2012 through F25), I am able to enable "quick playback" of the audio by holding down the spacebar and clicking where I want the audio to start (instead of using the full playback utility). A student recently pu...

If so, it was definitely inadvertently. How do I enable this on a full time basis?

Something interesting is happening in one of my files that has not happened in another file before this...and that I cannot replicate. Maybe someone here knows how to do this, or maybe it's something new... When I write battery percussion parts, I typically have to do a full playback (via the Playba...

If all else fails, there is room for a courtesy clef entered as an Expression. Once entered, right click on the clef and under Expression Assignment specify "Show on Score Only". N. How would this be done? I don't think I've ever seen "Show on Score Only" in any of the other expressions...come to t...

Again, since I can't examine the file in question, I can't say my approach would work. However, I've attached a demo showing what I mean, just in cast it might be of help. Zuill Hmm....I did the exact same thing before, but when I do it, it shows up in my part. I must be missing something...I'm goi...
