I prepared a score for 3 instruments : clarinet, viola and cello, 1 instrument for each of the 3 staves. Then I reduce the number of staves from 3 to 2. If I put 2 of the istruments together(viola and cello) in the second staff. I keep the clarinet alone in the first staff. What should I do to hear ...

Thank you very much, Miker

Now it's all right. I don't know why.

Maybe I selected the same scanner, Epson Perfection V37, but with another extension: one is 1.0, and the other is 9.37.

I haven't found any extensions at all in the box of the scanner, though

How could I write a SLUR from Grace note to its main note, please?

I appreciate your help

Trying tyo scan a Piano score, at the end of the process it says: Recognition failed. And yesterday I managed to scan it, but the result was like putting the page on the reverse, that is Left Hand as Right hand, and beginning by the last note of the last mesure. Could you help me, please? Appreciate...

Thank you very much , Miker, for your help

I've got the keyboard connected (MIDI IN & OUT) connected to my soundcard, because it's useful for Cubase. When I use Finale, though, I don't want to input the notes through the keyboard. But when I change from Cubase to Finale, sometimes I forget to disconnect the cables . Then,I just play some not...

Thank you again, Miker, for your help,

I've seen the shorcut: CTRL + F

for Windows.

A single note A is tied to the next chord A-C-D-F. No problem writing the Tie. But that Tie appears always above the notes. The reverse Tie could be more clear. But how could I get this Tie be written in a reverse curve? I mean, instead of the arch fo the Tie going above the notes, make it appear un...

Thank you very much for your help, Peter.
Thank you once more.

Resolved when I deselected "Garritan Ambience"

Thank you for reading my post, anyway.

In the same score I've got several Texts made with the Text Tool.

It's possible to change the size of only one of them?

I appreciate your help.

Thank you, Peter.
I worked that way.
I'm using Finale 2001, not Songwriter. It's true, I was wrong posting the message in the wrong place.

I work this in Finale 2011 for Windows. I imported the Lyrics from a Word document. I put the Lyrics through Click Assignment. For some reason now I see some unwanted Lyrics on some measures ahead. When I try to delete them through Type into Score, at the same time the words in the imported Word doc...

Thank you very much, Peter,

It works that way.

I put the Steinway Piano, as VST Instrument, as usual to sound in a score for Piano.

But the sound is strange, as sounding with a kind of reverberation, or as it was in a big castle.

What did I wrong?

Appreciate your answers

I wrote some Easy Tremolos and it's OK to playback. But how could I go back to the moment I wrote simply the notes to the usual look of the measures, without seeing all the measure in grey colour? I wrote some other things in the score afterwards, so I cannot do it simply with the Undo Tool. I appre...

Thank you very much for your help, Peter.
I works

I've got a key of Gb.
When I try writing the chord Cb with the chord tool, Finale converts automatically Cb into B.

How could I write "Cb", please?

Appreciate your help

Thank you very much, Mike.

It works that way.

The music in my score, 4/4 Time, begins with a pickup of a Quarter Note. The measure n. 8 has only 3 beats. I splitted it in order to get the first note (the pick up) sounded as the 4th note when I repeat the Playback. But when I Playback, what I hear is a Quarter Rest before hearing that note. Mayb...

Thank you very much for your help, Peter and Michel,

I'm using now that possibility od hiding the Dynamic Expressions, and exporting the score as a Audio File (that I didn't know at all before)

Thank you, both. It's a score for only 4 singers (SATB). I save it as Midi. I convert it to mp3, and what I listen is 100 singers at least, and difficult to distinguish the different voices, which the main voice is at any moment. I think the problem is not with Finale, but with the converter from Mi...

Thanks. It's nothing wrong with the score. The Expression Tool it's not very usefel for a choir of aohhh and uahhh. I put my question other way: Once you change the volume level in the Mixer for one staff, it's going necessarly to last all along the score or , on the contrary, you can apply ii for, ...

Thnk you, and Happy New Year. This is the normal use of Expression Tool. Even when I put "fff" for 1 voice and "ppp" for the rest of them I cannot hear much difference. I convert it to MIDI and the result is confusing. Is the volume that appears in the Studio Page appliable only for the whole score?...
