Well, the cross-staff plug-in did work! But it only worked on moving a note from the bass clef to the treble clef in Layer 2 but NOT later in the piece with Layer 3. Very strange.

Yes, it does work on the desktop and I did reset the Finale preferences (to no effect).

Tried those - nothing. Is there no solution to this issue???

Nope. Won't do it. I even tried shutting the program down and starting back up - still will not draw a box around the note. If I start at the top, it'll select a portion of the measure and then Alt+Down Arrow just moves that whole measure down to the next system. My program must be corrupt...??

Nope. Tried maybe 25 times. The Selection Tool will not let me draw any kind of box around that one note. Now, if I click once on the note, it's kind of selected but hitting alt+down arrow does nothing. Very weird!

The selection took won't let me draw a box around the note. It only will select part of the measure. I did make sure I was in the correct layer (layer 2). Forgot to mention that I'm working in Windows.

Hi All, I have 2 eighth notes beamed together - the first is on the bass clef and the other is on the treble clef (split between the 2 clefs). How do I get the note in the bass clef to have it's stem up while keeping the note in the treble clef stem down? I see this in printed music quite often but ...

Hi All, I am inputting a piece that has a 2 measure section that repeats and it is itself in a larger section that also repeats. What happens is that the 2 measure repeated section repeats just fine the first time around but when the whole section repeats, this 2 measure section only plays once. I k...

Hi All,
How do I change the speed of a rolled chord? I have the top value set at 0 and the bottom value set at -256 but this rolls the chord too fast. In this case its a final chord of a piece and I want the rolled chord (on a harpsichord) to roll slower. How do I do that? Thanks!

Thanks. All of this brings me full circle to one of my original questions: Is there - somewhere "out there" - a Baroque trumpet soundfont I can use in Finale?

I really liked the 2nd one. How did you get that sound? I'm assuming not in Finale.

Here's a screenshot of what I'm seeing in ScoreManager:

I'm not actually seeing "Antique Trumpet" - what I see is in the drop-down menu under Instruments (in ScoreManager), one of the choices is "Antique". Within that are many old instruments including Baroque Trumpet. But - as I said - when you choose that, what show up under Sound (at the far right sid...

Well, that brings me back to square one - so-to-speak. Looking for Baroque soundfonts that I can use in Finale. Surely SOMEBODY has made some. I know I'm not the only one who could use them. Also - why does Garritan list "Antique" under the Instrument drop-down? Is this something that used to work a...

Yes - I see that now! I think I'll get that. One question (hopefully my last one!): How do I use the file I get from them in Finale?

Thanks but at 429 Euros ($463.00) that's a little outside my budget. I'm still wondering: 1) If there's something a little cheaper out there, and 2) What are the Antique instruments I see under the Instrument drop-down in Score Manager? They're there but not available somehow....? It doesn't make an...

Hello All - I am interested in using sounds of Baroque instruments - particularly the Baroque trumpet. I notice when I go into the Score Manager and click on the drop-down menu for Instruments, one of the choices is "Antique" but the program doesn't see able to incorporate those sounds into playback...

Thanks for the advice. Strange that in all the time that Finale has existed, there are no Baroque trumpet sounds available.

How do I get Baroque Trumpet sounds in Garritan and have them usable in Finale? Or does Garritan even have such sounds? If not, are they available some other way?
