Finale Forum

It's not so much an objection as mild laziness. I have a piece with a number of repeats that I defined, but now I don't remember how many times they were supposed to repeat (they're not all the same). I was hoping to avoid having to go into each repeat definition and look, then create the expression...

We've all seen charts where there's a section and above it says "Play 4x" or whatever. (I'm not talking about single, double or multi-measure repeats.) I know how to define a repeat to play as many times as I'd like, what I want to know is if there is a way to put that number of times into text? For...

No, it's not a keyless piece, it's written for oboe (I don't play oboe) and I can't transpose by sight well enough to play that section. I just transcribed and transposed that one page so I could play it on clarinet. It switches to flute on page 2, so the rest of it isn't an issue.

I had a feeling there had to be a simple way. Thank you, that's even perfecter.

Thank you. The Custom method looks like the best option.

This is kind of a "First world problem" but I had a page I needed to transpose and put in the book along with other pages (this was page 1 of 4).

"Press caps lock; then press the number key on the computer keyboard corresponding to the value you want to enter. In other words, you’re now telling Finale what the note values are going to be before you specify the pitches. Use CTRL+number to enter a series of tuplets." I love that feature, but I ...

It's simple once you know about the second step, but that certainly isn't obvious. (It's actually a slick tool when you know how it works.) Thank you for your help.

Finale 27.0.0.708 (Windows 10). I have a B-double flat that I want to change to an A natural. I select Tools -> Advanced Tools -> NoteMover, Click on the note (the anchor turns red). I go to NoteMover->Search and Replace, leave "in all octaves" selected, click OK, click Enharmonic then Ok and then ....

Wow, I would never have looked there, but it worked, thanks.

Finale 26 on Windows. With any luck, there's an image of a piece I'm working on. I used the Plug-in to create a Coda, but now I'm left with two...somethings and I can't figure out how to undo what I did, or even what question to ask to find out how to do what I did. How do I get rid of that break an...
