Re: HITS Below regular staff
Hi Peter, I have already 3 stuff styles called Rhythmic notation on layer 2 but its right in the middle line of the staff, so no useful. I tried to edit this to get the rhythmic notation to move down to the space below the first line with no luck. I tried a new staff style, I was on that first scree...

HITS Below regular staff
HI, I have done it 100's of times..but not regularly..so each time I forget how to do it and/or the actual situation is slightly different so the "solution" for the previous one does not necessarily apply. So, before asking my question. Why Finale does not have an EASY build in way to write rhythmic...

Re: Saving pdf without SCORE on the title of the file
No, I didn't know that even existed. Looks faster and same/similar quality of PDF. (using the same encoder).Peter Thomsen wrote: ↑Thu Sep 28, 2023 4:03 pmI always use the Graphics Tool to export as PDF:
Graphics menu > Export Pages…
You have not tried that?
Might be a little faster.
Thanks!

Saving pdf without SCORE on the title of the file
I find it very annoying and time consuming having to manually remove the word _SCORE in capital from any pdf I convert on finale via the print/save as pdf command. Is there any way to convert to PDF without having to edit every single document and tell finale to save it with the exact title I type? ...

Re: Chord Enharmonic spelling
Hi Peter, There are no capo chords (and there will never be! ha) Simplify spelling IS selected in the chord menu by default. That may explain why even after manually typing Db ..it went back t C#. Now what is the reason for C# to be "simpler" in the minds of Finale programmers than Db? who knows! bu...

Re: Chord Enharmonic spelling
Thanks Peter...I thought it was a joke but it works...holy smokes. I need to do it in the Chord definition for it to work with the rest of the chord: min7/C But it works..Tried with the F# same thing..typing Abbb works, any way to "convert" all #chords to flat? without the tedious manual editing? an...

Chord Enharmonic spelling
Why is Finale so annoying. After transposing a chart to Tenor Sax, Finale shows the chord as C#min7/C, is there any to tell Finale a few things? like: 1.Automatically make all chords FLAT not sharp when transposing ? 2.How to quickly change that C#m to Dbm 3.Why is Finale not simply letting me use D...

Re: Can't create alternate notation
Yes I did that, just changed the note-heads on layer 2 and resized, but its a one by one note method. I was looking for a way to do a section at once. I did select show everything in other layers when trying to get rhythmic notation on layer 2, no change. Thanks for the quick response. Rhythmic nota...

Can't create alternate notation
Hi, I am trying to get these whole notes (on layer 2) to show as rhythmic notation in addition to the bass line in normal notation on layer 1 (see pic). I followed these instructions but didn't work. Any ideas? thanks! https://usermanuals.finalemusic.com/Finale2012Mac/Content/Finale/GuitarNotation2....

Cue Notes with Note
Creating Cue notes on a lead sheet that only has 1 stave require a lot of steps, the resize tool is a click away and its great but only works one note at a time. Why not allow to select the a whole bar of eights notes that needs to be reduced at once? Anything that can be automated should be. Is the...

I can't unhide staff
After having the bass clef of a piano lead sheet hidden, I needed to do a different arrangement. It does not matter what I do, and where I un-select hide staff (which I did everywhere), but I can't still see the bass clef on page view (with notes or without them) I need my bass clef staff back.

Re: Finale v.25 and Mac OS Catalina
Not to flame the Win vs Mac debate, this is one advantage we who use Windows enjoy: very old versions of Finale can run on the most recent version of Windows. Another advantage, of course, is the cost. Sorry to insert this here, but sometimes it helps those who are needing to run older versions of ...

Re: Finale v.25 and Mac OS Catalina
That is unfortunate. But you can't blame MM if Apple makes changes to the OS, that make already released versions incompatible. Well, you can, but it won't do much good. Off Course they have nothing to do with Apple making changes, but when everybody works on compatibility MM wants $150 for it, tha...

Re: Finale v.25 and Mac OS Catalina
Nope..I had to upgrade to a new computer (imac) and it came with Catalina. Every program (music ) has worked like a charm (except the free audio editor Audacity that is already working to fix the issue) until I had to reinstall Finale 25..oh boy..you don't want to see that. Horrible, lagging, super ...
