Problem with spelling table
Can anybody advise re peculiar automatic spelling of the attached music. The first two lines are what Finale transcribes via Speedy Entry. The second two lines are what I would prefer to see and, as far as I know, much closer to the accepted spelling. Where would I start addressing this issue? Many ...

Set measure width immutably
Hi there!
Does anybody know how I can set my measure width (in Finale 2014) immutably to e.g. 1.35 inches so that when I exit Speedy Entry the measures to the right in the stave don't squash to next to nothing or disappear altogether? Wasting so much time on this!
Many thanks

Re: Finale no longer recognising Edirol MIDI input
Thanks, Motet.
I naturally tried all variations, but I bought the new one for my Windows 10 laptop anyway, and made that one work.
It was about 10 years old, and my Finale's 2006, so I can hardly complain!
It would probably work if I tried again right now. IT!
Regards
Bob

Lock measure widths after editing
Can anybody tell me how to lock the widths of the measures in a stave so that they don't reconfigure themselves after a minor edit in one of them? I get it a stave all set up and looking beautiful, then do something like add a chord symbol and the bar widths all change back to what the algorithm say...

Get separate MIDI tracks for treble and bass staves?
Can anybody tell me how to get get separate MIDI tracks for treble and bass staves?
So that, when you export piano MS as MIDI, the treble is one MIDI track and the bass is another.
This would save me so much time!
Thanks in advance!

Re: Accessibility issue - cursor etc
Thanks N.
My trusty old Finale 2016 ignores the Ease of Access high contrast colour inversion, unfortunately.
Anyway, then you'd just have a white cursor on white manuscript - no improvement really.
What I want is a bright red cursor...!

Hi there. So I want to create a chord suffix 7/9, 7/11, 7/13 etc but when I do, finale changes (auto-corrects) the number after the slash into a note name. Perhaps this is a slash bass convention, I don't know, but I definitely want those chord suffixes, written like that. Can anybody tell me how to...

Thanks NG - already tried that, that's the spot I'm in. The original was even worse.
Thanks also ebiggs. Am making progress. It would have been quicker to transcribe it myself!

Anyone had this problem/know a fix?

Re: Can PrintMusic open all (old) Finale files?
Apparently you can't even ascribe e.g. numeric key 1 plus Articulation to place a fingering 1 in the score. For a programme that claims to be a dedicated score-writing applications "without the advanced features of Finale", that's pathetic. Quickly inserting fingering is a core function of a score-w...

Having to upgrade obsolete Finale version. Don't need advanced MIDI features, and thinking of getting PrintMusic 2014.
Will that open old (really old) .mus files without quibbling? Can't find any answers on MakeMusic site.
Thanks for your help.

Hi I'm making audio/video recordings of chord sequences - strings of minim chords, in fact. The MIDI plays the notes for their full minim duration, but nobody plays like that and it sounds terrible.
