Re: Tuplet problem

onehunkytenor, If you are willing to try the Speedy Entry Tool instead of the Simple Entry Tool, then try this sequence: CTRL-1 (opens the Tuplet Definition which defaults to 3 Eighths in the space of 2 Eighths)     *) Return - or Enter (OK!) 5 (enters the Quarter) 4 (enters the Eighth) I could be ...

Re: Tuplet problem

I hate to say it, but this time, it’s user error. Or at least, misunderstanding. If it's a misunderstanding or user error, then do please help me to understand or avoid the error! I thought I mentioned it originally, but looks like I didn't... Simple Entry is the goal. Set your default tuplet to 3 ...

Re: Tuplet problem

Gents, I need to go back to this line of inquiry. I have a score with many, many quarter note/eighth note pairings that need to be tupletized (is that a word?) wherein 3 eighth notes are made a tuplet in the space of 1 quarter note. Is there a way to set the default rhythmic value of a simple entry ...

Have tried all your suggestions to no avail. I do sincerely appreciate your efforts tho. I guess I have to learn to live with the crashing. Sigh.

It wasn't in Program Files, but anyhow... given the fact that temp files are written by Finale to that folder without complaint, one might assume one has write permission, eh?

Make sure you changed the Folders preference and that it points to the right place. I want to make sure I understand this, motet.

Re: Finale has encountered error when Windows 10 idles

Telling you to reinstall is asinine. Agreed. 100% I did phone and email tech support for years and I know from observing others that reinstalling is mostly the first (or last) hope of the inept or unwilling. The problem is that Finale fails to lock the temporary files it's using when it's running. ...

Re: Finale has encountered error when Windows 10 idles

I've been seeing this error under the same circumstances since "upgrading" to v27. MM support is not offering any real help, advising that I should reinstall. Of course, v27 IS a fresh install as of a small handful of weeks ago! They suggest that best practices would include closing down Finale if I...

A terrific suggestion! Thank you.

I've been directed by Jacob Winkler (the script's auteur) to this: https://www.finalelua.com/scripts?searc ... e%20staves which works a bit of Lua magic and gets the job done. Gotta love Lua!

Re: Copy (all) full staff names to abbreviated staff names

You'd have to manually change each full name to its abbreviated form in the Score Manager. That's exactly what I've been doing! I guess I'm wondering if some enterprising Lua developer has automated the process :lol: Plus it's sort of "common practice". I'm not exactly sure what you mean here and, ...

I dunno how or why or when, but in Score Manager it was marked for a transposition: up one octave. Many thanks indeed, Bill! :lol:

Lyric Baselines and Cantamus XML preparation

Greetings all, I'm not one to have his mind blown. I've seen "most things" so... yeah. Cantamus has blown my mind. You feed it a score and it uses AI to have singers properly sing the thing back to you. Amazing. I have been coming across little niggly issues with Finale's ability to output uncompres...

Just upgraded to the latest version -- stuttering remains!

I was really hoping this would disappear with the upgrade. Alas, no. Using "Mini Grand" as my piano of choice. Weird, quickly undulating volume stuttering (having trouble describing it!!) continues to plague. It's almost as if someone was quickly modulating volume... think: some sort of WOW effect.....

Hiding abbreviated staff names individually

So I have a choral piece that starts out TTBB. S&A staves are empty and hidden until those voices are introduced, about halfway through the piece. I show the full (TTBB) staff names in the first measure and I'd like to show the abbreviated staff names for all 6 staves only in that measure where S&A ...

Never mind, I changed the Audio Input/Output and it seems to work now. This is a normal issue for me. Finale just takes over and any attempt to access any streaming media is met with an error. I have more or less learned to work around it but sometimes it's a royal PITA! Can you provide more detail...
