Text keeps appearing in unwanted places
Hi Fellow Finale Users, It's an excellent product we have with Finale. It's ironic that we tend to notice only the things that it can't do, and ignore the millions of things that it can do. Anyway, my issue today is with the text link on the last page of the brilliant arrangement here: https://www.a...

Parallel 5ths
I saw a post on Quora by someone who alleges that Finale has the capability to scan a score for parallel 5ths.
However there is no mention of it in the online help.
Does it exist?

Re: Hyperlinks don't work in PDF

Considering how complex many other features of Finale are, this fix should be fairly straightforward for a talented team like yours. I look forward with enthusiasm. :) To which XXX replied: Hel...

Re: Hyperlinks don't work in PDF
Ah well. Yes, we do print to PDF via the Mac print-to-PDf feature, but do not add the link until the final step on one of the PDF editor websites, https://editor.cutepdf.com/ or https://deftpdf.com/pdf-editor So, save the .MUSX file without the link, print to PDF, upload PDF to site above, add link ...

Re: Hyperlinks don't work in PDF
Thanks Motet. The CutePDF app won't work for Mac users, like me, but they do have a free online editor, here: https://editor.cutepdf.com/ Also, I tested this site, and it works fine: https://deftpdf.com/pdf-editor It's an extra step to complete the preparation, but it could be worse. At least the ex...

Re: Hyperlinks don't work in PDF
Thanks for clarifying that, wessmusic. I was hoping that Finale was a just a fraction more developed after all this time. So developed that its output did not need editing in another app before it was completely ready for publication. Sigh. So the links work in Preview and Safari, but not in Acrobat...

Hyperlinks don't work in PDF
I'm trying to export my Finale 27 file as a PDF. https://andrewscottmusic.com/downloads/temp/Can-Can-Flute-Solo.musx It's all going fine except for the very last line. I've inserted a hyperlink to my website. However, in the PDF, the link doesn't work. I'm on a Mac. Is there any way to fix this? Her...

Re: Best way to create a template
Thanks ebiggs1.
sorry for the misnomer.
When I wrote "template," I was thinking of an MUSX file that contained all my layout preferences.
I had forgotten that Finale has a slightly different understanding of that word.

Re: Best way to create a template
O I see. Another arranger created the Finale 27 file. I didn't realise that there was so much incompatibility. As for the 2011 file, is there any way to modernise that, whlst retaining all the display settings? I've been making arrangements on and off for years and don't want to start over for each ...

Best way to create a template
Hello Fellow Finale Fans, I'm trying to create a template into copies of which I can paste all my random arrangements, thereby creating perfectly formatted, marketable presentations with one click of the mouse. It would be a good idea if it worked. My latest attempt only gets me this far: I have beg...

Re: Weird Behavior of File
thanks for the tip, N. Grossingink. Unfortunately, the plugin did two things: 1. Made a mess of my plugins dropdown menu; (easy to restore) 2. after applying the score merge function, it recreated the exact effect of the native Finale process. I'll go to Finale support and see if they can help. Than...

What's with the tiny upload limit?
I tried to upload a Finale file as an attachment, a miniscule 328kb in size, and kept getting this same message:
Error
File too large: Pathetique - 3rd Movement Flute & Piano .musx

Weird Behavior of File
I merged two staves by using the tool Utilities/Imploded Staves. The result has been a bit weird. The target staff (bottom line on the arrangement) has rests in most of the bars that i don't know how to remove. 2ndly, the clef is set to treble and won't allow me to change it to bass clef. Can anyone...
