Thanks for helping! «Highlight Systems 2 to 5» will only work if there are 5 systems in total. I have already tried that one out (if I am not missing something out here) That means that I have to change the script for every document as long as the documents contain different numbers of staffs. What ...

Excellent!! Now I'm finally getting somewhere. For the rest of the systems: Do I have to set up one line for each system? Some documents have only 3, and others have up to 15. Then I will need 15 entries. That seems unnecessary... Is there a way define System 2 to the end? I have tried different sol...

Hello! I want to change the values for the systems top margins in a lot of documents. How do I distinguish between the systems I want to affect? Example: I want the first systems top margin to be 150 points, and the rest (2 thru 0) to be 20. I am only able to affect all. «System Top margin 150» sets...

Hey! I am going to change information in the Copyright field (In about 1000 finale documents). Using Finale script. Is there any way to put in a line break/line shift, to make it display more neatly? Example: Copyright © xxxx xxxx 2020 Source xxx xxxx I want to divide this information into two lines...

Lightening struck, and I woke up.... and then I fell asleep again..... But in between something happened... Problem solved - at least mine though. All metatools works fine with SMuFL document styles. The problem was my laptop keyboard. Switching to an external (USB) keyboard solved it. But - should ...

Have the same problem. Tried to fix it by entering "Maestro Font Default.ftmx" under preferences - as advised. Have also tried to use the Legacy Font document styles that are still with us, but nothing could fix the problem. However, Metatools programmed to NumPad works fine....

Hi! Thanks! Worked a bit on this one.... I discovered that the real problem was that I didn't include the line "lyrics tool", as You did, before calling the "Lyrics window". With my former script I could bring up the Lyrics Window, but it was not possible to paste anything into the "Text box". After...

Hi! Working a bit with Scripts again. Anyone out there who knows how to address the text box in Lyrics Window? I am making a script for exporting lyrics from one document to another. Both documents are open, the source document on top, and I want to end up viewing, the source doucument where I start...

Hello! This is not a direct Finale related question, but I am taking my guess that someone of you would know the answer. In these "Corona times" we are all forced to teach our music students over an e-learning platform of some kind. Does anyone know of a platform that can listen to and transmit more...

Thanks! To Carloshaz: Yes, as far as I can understand, this solution will work in every case, not just this particular one. An obvious solution though...., but I do not think I want to go down that road. Since all my finaledocuments are almost finished, just some final adjustments needs to be done, ...

Hi! Almost everywhere in Finale I can set text size with comma separated values; ex: 10,5 But Lyrics text does not allow me to do that. Any workaround or plugins that can help me with that? Normally I do not need so spesific sizes, but now I am working on a project where I have a layout, that demand...

Hi! Can see what You're aiming at. That solution only changes the default font, if I am not missing something here. I have used several fonts and several font attributes with TextBlpcks in my Layout. I need to search for the actual font and replace it. That can easily be done the way I described, bu...

Thanks!

I have built my FinaleScripts I need to finalize my project. But one question remains. I am now going to batch prosess. Batch prosessing in general is no problem, but I am facing one more challenge. I have one main folder with 899 subfolders. The subfolders are named 001, 002, 003, and so on, up to ...

I have heard a lot about the «Perfect Layout» plug-in, and searched for it many times, but obviously there is something here I am missingout here. I am not able to find it anywhere.


Some help?

Follow mikers solution. His ways are often the best. What he says about; How many pieces - How long and complicated are they? - Budget - Time frame, is really something to consider. SmartScore X2 pro is a powerful tool, but in order to take full advantage of it, you really need to sit down and learn...

Hi again! Still working on teaching myself FinaleScript. I am able to find TextBlocks in the document, search for a spesific font type and size and replace it with another font of another size. But I can not figure out how to control the other font attributes. The following script works fine: search...

Win10 Finale 26 Hi! Is there any way to make FinaleScript choose only Finale files with a spesific file name when batch prosessing? I have a main folder that contains 899 subfolders. Each subfolder contains 2 finale files. I need to batch prosess only one of the finale files in each folder. Every fi...

Beautiful!!

Thanks from Norway!

Thanks to You all! I have almost achieved my goal. And I do think I understand the tool a bit better now, maybe... I can now open Score manager, select the correct tab. Changing Score name was somehow harder though. I can enter all the text boxes/fields directly by using the "near" command, and chan...

Hi! 1: Is there any way (and if so - how?) to use FinaleScript to change the score name in multiple files? I am about to finish a project which consist of nearly 900 Finale files. And I need to change the Score name. Every file will have the same scorename. 2: Is there anyone out there that can give...
