Finale Forum

After using the slur instead of tie for a while, I've found myself switching back to tie . Reasons: 1. When assigning many syllables of a lyric, as I often do, using the option-click assignment, Finale skips over tied notes as desired, but not over slurred notes. So the choice of tie vs. slur become...

Thank you, Zuill. Amazing how much I still do not know at my age..

When two tied notes are of a different pitch, I think the tie should be ramped (tilted) up or down to follow the change in pitch. I've seen ties in professionally engraved scores like this, and it helps my reading when I perform. But when I place a tie between two such notes in Finale, the two endpo...

In case anyone is wondering, I've used Finale 26 on macOS 10.11 Big Sur (beta) for about 6 hours working time now and have not found any issues (well, I should say, no issues that were not also present in previous macOS versions :lol: ) Even HyperScribe works.

So for some reason MakeMusic chose to do the Spanish version in-house or, maybe with a tighter relationship than they have with IPE Music, Klemm, etc. It is true that if they add, say, a new control with new text in an up...

The Spanish package is more megabytes, but it does not appear to include the English localization. When I launch it, the first two dialogs I see, asking for permission to access `Document...

Normal macOS apps support "localization". If I change my language in System Preferences from English to Spanish, and if an app I am using supports Spanish, then the next time I launch that app, its text will be in Spanish. There is just one .app, with one license, which can run in multiple languages...
