Finale Forum

I don't have an answer, and someone on this forum might have, but I used to experience this when I used midi hardware. Since switching to VST I don't have the problem. My solution at the time was to add an extra empty measure at the beginning of a piece. I don't use midi, just enter notes from my P...

This started happening a couple of weeks ago for no apparent reason. I type in all of the notes, click on play, and no matter what the duration of the first note is, it gets cut off. So, like an 8th note sounds like a 16th and a half note sounds like a quarter note etc... Don't know if there is some...

Oh, shoot. All of you replied and I didn't get any emails. I'm sorry I didn't know... The first option above "Rebeam to Time Signature" worked perfect since the notes were already there. I just didn't know I had to change the numbers to 2/4 to make it work. -- Just tried selecting a note and hitting...

I have a song with multiple time signatures because the composer wanted to have fun I guess. Who knows. Anyway, in the song are 3/8, 4/8, 6/8 and 7/8. I typed everything in and noticed that for some reason the measures that were 4/8, the notes did not have beams. I changed one measure to 2/4 and the...

I have been to that site, but it is so huge and each composer has so many pieces, that I click and click and can't find what I want most of the time...

Of course, tonight I found it right away. YAY - Thank you so much!

I started with Bach's Prelude 1 in C major (the piano part). I was going to write a melody line on top of it but realized that what I was writing was sounding very similar to the one that had previously been written: "Ave Maria". Gounad used Bach's chords very well in writing on top of his music. So...

Still trying to figure out if the flute line is correct, or the strings lines. Have seen multiple scores with it one way or the other. Eventually I'll find the original score and then match them up. Thanks!

I figured it out. I had to delete the 16th note first so that there was enough time left in the measure for the second dot. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for asking. I do not have a midi keyboard attached to my PC. I enter everything via the DELL keyboard or trackball. I am using the Simple Entry Tool palette. In the picture - from the palette, I clicked on the quarter note and the dot to make a dotted quarter note and clicked in the 12th meas...

Hi, I have Finale 27, PC with Windows 10. According to the user manual, if I want to enter a double dotted note, I need to select the note and hit a dot key. I'm assuming either the period key or the decimal key would work. I selected the note, hit the period key and a dot appeared. I hit the period...
