Re: Expression Duplicates Bug

Darn, I use v25.5. Can anyone else with a more recent version see duplicated expressions?

I would definitely love to simply use "Top Staff", but I use cue staffs in parts and resize them to 60% (otherwise it gets very cluttered) and so all expressions assigned to Top Staff get resized as well...

Re: Expression Duplicates Bug

Actually there are 2 ways of seeing if there are duplicated objects : 1- Text objects look bolder and somehow more pixelated than usual. If it wasn't for that I wouldn't mind the bug, but it doesn't look great when printing. 2- When selecting an object, the little square doesn't look completely red....

Expression Duplicates Bug

I came across a bug recently where if I edit an Expression Category Score List, Finale will create duplicates for all expression objects in categories that use this Score List. The only way I found to correct this is to select a different Score List for each category, click OK, and then reselect the...

Re: Beams and Rhythmic Values Over Barlines

Interesting, I never thought of doing that 1 : 1 tuplet trick. Could potentially be very useful! This being said, I omitted the 1:1 tuplet trick and simply changed the last 32nd for a 16th note (Check for Extra Notes is unchecked) and it seems to be doing just fine. Do you guys see any disadvantage ...

Re: Beams and Rhythmic Values Over Barlines

I think the method of creating the quintuplet depends on the context. If you have many parts needing proper barlines, John's suggestion probably would be better. If you have but a few, it should be easier to double the meter (to 6/16), hide the TS, and insert a fake barline (in all parts) as an exp...

Re: Beams and Rhythmic Values Over Barlines

You had some rather convincing points about why to do it this way, Oneiroi. Here's another compromise, almost the same as John's suggestion above, but taking into account the beams as indicators of 'motives'. It should be almost 'sight-readable', with the benefit of less cluttering, not needing the...

Re: Beams and Rhythmic Values Over Barlines

Interesting dilemma indeed. I should point out that in my case, I'm doing a transcription and therefore want to stay as close as possible to the original notation, which is most probably the composer's choice. I personally think there are points to be made on both sides. Yes, in terms of readability...

Using plugins>Note, beam and rest editing>Paterson lite>beam over barlines>Create beaming example.jpeg Thank you, I've been using this plug-in a lot, but in this case I would love to have the dotted 8ths rather than the tied notes. I know it's probably easier to go with the tied notes, but I'm curi...

Combining Whole-Score Barlines and Normal Barlines

I'm trying to achieve something similar to this sheet music here, where some barlines go through all staves while others are standardly separated per group : https://www.dropbox.com/s/uh7v3c4g3kv7axn/Screen%20Shot%202021-08-29%20at%2012.26.51%20PM.png?dl=0 I created the dashed barlines by creating a...

Re: How to Create/Extend Beams on Single Notes

How should I get rid of extra lines when notes are above or under the staff?

Re: How to Create/Extend Beams on Single Notes

Aah, that makes more sense to me, @wessmusic. Also with this method, you can quickly adjust the measure's width depending on how many 8th notes you enter. Thank you everyone for your suggestions!

Re: How to Create/Extend Beams on Single Notes

Thank you motet. I figured that was the way to do it, but when I hide the rest immediately after the 8th note the beam turns into a flag. Am I missing a setting somewhere?

Thanks

How to Create/Extend Beams on Single Notes

I've searched all forums for this but couldn't find anything for what seems to be a pretty simple task. What's the simplest way to achieve something similar to this?
