Hello,

Is there a way I can set an engraving rule to automatically break secondary triplet beams? I'm doing it manually now after inputting a score and it seems archaic.

Thanks,
PJ

I'm new from Sibelius, so I apologize if this question is missing something.

Sibelius has an Optimize Staff Spacing feature that intelligently places articulations etc. and everything else using Magnetic Layout Is this that? Because Sibelius offers that for free.

PJRasmussenJazz,

Take a look in Document Options - Stems

Also, take a look in Document Options - Barlines
It looks like the Barlines have the same thickness as the Staff-lines.
I would increase the Barline Thickness, so that the Barlines stand out.

Thanks!

Here is the Ricordi (full) score. "ste in" is a liason. Probably the slur should begin on the quarte...

Thanks for your help. I am part of that Facebook group, but since I was actually looking for Finale settings I thought I'd try here. I'm experimenting with line width's etc. For what it's worth, I'm pretty sure all vocal dynamics go above the staff, to avoid clashing with the lyrics. Thanks again! PJ

Thank you!

Hello, I've just completed a simple transcription using Finale for the first time. I'd appreciate any engraving tips to improve readability, as well as settings to tweak for creating standard Finale equivalents to Sibelius House Styles. For instance, I'm actually doing arrangements of three pieces f...

Hi Miker, Yes, I downloaded and installed it. I was surprised when I opened Finale 2014 and right in the startup screen by engraving and handwritten it had November listed as a default. It said it was a template for the November font style. Downloading the demo, I was surprised to see it disappear, ...

Hello, I'm switching to Finale from Sibelius for a couple of reasons, but one big reason is Finale's compatibility with third-party fonts. I recently purchased November 2, and my old version of Finale (2014), had a document type all set up for that font. I just downloaded the demo trial of Finale 26...
