Re: Problem with the playing window

I don't know what you mean by an "expression". It was only a white note played twice in a 4 by 4 measure... I don't see anything in that which could prevent the playing tempo to be changed. I'm glad I'm able to make the piece played slowly by the software, there was a lot of mistakes. It's so easy t...

Re: Problem with the playing window

Thanks for your help.

I managed to handle it by copying a few parts of the score in another file to discover which part of it was causing trouble. Fortunately it was the first line. I removed it, added it again note by note and it works.

Problem with the playing window

Hello,
I'm trying to play a piece I've written. When opening the playing window, no matter which speed I choose, the piece is played at a very high speed. I've tried to alter all the settings, nothing change. I cannot hear anything because of the very high playing speed. What am I doing wrong ?

Re: software bug ?

what I was doing was exactly what your screen capture shows. And it was impossible to enter the last two notes of the bar, no matter what. It worked nicely for the previous bars. I changed nothing and it didn't work anymore. I don't understand why.

Re: software bug ?

Miker, It's exactly what I was doing. It worked perfectly for the first page of my score, and then, I couldn't end the bar, my seven tuplet didn't allow me to enter the last two notes of the seven. I entered the new entry options box and remove the option of adding extra notes and rests as advised m...

software bug ?

Hello, I can't manage to end a bar, despite the fact that all the priors one were fine, done with the same four 7-tuplets in each bar. As you can see on the picture, I can't end the tuplet. I've tried to erase the rests and replace them by notes but it didn't work. I have the sound error each time I...

Graphically moving rests

Hello,
I don't find how to graphically (not musically) move a little a rest so it's not on a note, or it's not touching a note.

Re: Multiple dots

Thanks everybody. I'm sorry to see that I didn't answer some questions. Yes I have a french keyboard. And the "maj" is the "shift" key indeed.
Thanks again for your help.

Changing staff

Hello,
For a piano score, I would like to write several notes in a single beam, beginning in the upper staff and going on the down staff. I don't manage to do it.

Thanks

Move items on the score

Hello again,
I would like to move rest or little note on the score, graphically speaking, not musically speaking. There is indeed some rest which are just put on a note from another voice, I would like to move it just a little upward so everything can be seen easily.

Re: Multiple dots

Found ! The keyboard short cut in the user's manual are wrong for laptop (even the laptop set section). The right answer is maj + :
It makes your cursor as a dot, with which you will click on a note to augment its duration. What an awful process to discover for such a simple thing !

Re: Multiple dots

Of course my macbook has a period, but when the note is selected, if I press the period key, no dot appears.

Multiple dots

Hello,
I would like to put a double dot next to a note. I followed the user's manual, but it doesn't work. They say to press the dot on the numpad, but I have a macbook only, and the usual dot (maj + ;) doesn't do the job. how can I do ?

Re: Eighth note

Everything works perfectly ! Thanks so much !

You're right, my music is not simple so I need advanced tools. Maybe I should train with simple existing scores, writting them in finale as an exercise.

I have still a problem with the writing of measures which do not respect the metrics. Here is an example of a Rachmaninov concerto. How can I write in finale a group of 5 notes like that :

Re: Eighth note

Problem not solved.

When I press F1 (macbook pro), nothing happens except the screen light settings. I really need a complete user manual, my problems are really basic and I’m already lost…

I can’t find the backslash on my keyboard.

Hi everybody, I’m not completely new to Finale since I used it ten years ago to write piano music with the free version. I made the leap a few days ago to be able to enjoy the full version. And I’m glad I did it, this software is superb. So congrats to the finale team. I’m writing my studies on nume...
