Wondering how to create a slur between the 1 and the 4 under the
lower D#. This is to indicate the fingering change between thumb and
4th finger. See attached, thanks.

musicus

Thanks. I know that Finale is a notation program and that's how I've been using it for the past 30 years. Sometimes however I'd like to play something without it being "corrected." I know that the creators of Finale didn't offer that as a choice. And yes, I've tried the other option you suggested ("...

How do I turn off the quantization entirely when I record
in hyperscribe?

musicus

Thanks, I'll try that.

I usually use Plugins > Miscellaneous > Change fonts and from there I choose Lyric. If necessary I change the font, size, etc. Simple and clear

musicus

Thanks!

In your current document :
Lyrics menu -> Lyrics window. In that window, select all (Cmd+A on the Mac, Ctrl+A in Windows).
Text menu : Size.
Do the same thing for all verses, etc.

For the future, modify your template(s) or Default File : go to Document Options -> Fonts -> Lyrics.

These lyrics are too small, I'd like to enlarge them a bit and for all subsequent
songs. How do I do it? See attached.

And if they are in their own layers, JW Change will make it easy.

What is "JW?"

Why the change to layer 2 in m. 28?
>> Just probably a mistake.

musicus

Interesting point.

One of several reasons why it's good to put cues in their own layer.

musicus

In the attached file I have cue notes as well as cello notes. The cue notes of course are smaller. I wanted to enlarge the cello noteheads a bit, but when I applied the resize noteheads tool (plug-in) I see that it enlarged all the noteheads including the cue notes. Other than doing this note by not...

musicus

In this movement from my piano concerto, I hid
the blank staves, but now I decided it would be better to
show them. How do I do that? See attached.

musicus

Thank you! A simple thing like this and my math gets confounded. You are correct about the movements. … region 3 is showing meas. 35 at the beginning. Why? … Not true. It is movement 3 that shows meas. 35 at the beginning, not region 3. My guess is that each measure number region was supposed to cov...

musicus

I have three measure regions here.
1. Meas.1-34, (display as 1-34)
2. meas.35-87, (display as 1-53)
3. meas.88 - 197 (display as 1-110)
But region 3 is showing meas.35 at the beginning. Why?
See attached.

musicus

Oops, my bad. Thank you! I never suggested to type 1... Delete the 41. You have page numbers at the top of the pages. If you want them at another position, select the handle, right-click on it (or Ctrl-click on the Mac), select "Edit Frame Attributes" (to define their position, the page range, etc.....

musicus

I like your suggestion actually. I can see how it might lead to confusion. Thank you. Just a suggestion- In the very first measure, you have staccato dotted quarters written. This will lead to confusion on how long the notes really are - there is really no such thing as a staccato dotted quarter not...

musicus

I followed your direction and typed "1" - but "41" appears (below meas.9). Then I corrected it to "1"but no page numbers on the following pages. See attached. Text Tool. Double click on the page to create a text. You will see a blinking line. Then text menu -> Inserts -> Page Number. The sequence of...

musicus

I'm getting your measure regions suggestion but I'm just not getting the Page numbers. It keeps coming out wrong. Could you walk me through it? 1) For "smart" page numbers, you have to create a text (Text tool), then Text menu -> Inserts -> Page Number. You can (Edit Frame) specify the region where ...

musicus

I am stumped. See attached. Page numbers: the first page of music is "1" but I can't seem to get the following pages as "2", "3" and so on. How do I do it? The second movement, which begins on the last page of the attachment, is showing the first measure as "3." How do I get the first measure to sho...

musicus

Thanks, I'll try it.

…can you tell me how you did it, so that I can fix it on my own next time?
Page Layout Menu > Systems > Edit System Margins
Use the following settings:

musicus

I appreciate that. Regarding the courtesy accidental, what I meant to indicate is that the trill goes from A to Bb, not A to B natural. Is there a better way to indicate such? Hi musicus, Check measure 93.. there is a courtesy accidental behind the half note... it appears to have been moved with the...

musicus

Thank you! Looks great - can you tell me how you did it, so that I can fix it on my own next time? To answer your question, I simply don't know the answer. Sorry. The attached file has the quick page turn fixed. What happens when they try to print the odd size A4 on a printer that has only letter si...

musicus

The page lengths are good, thank you. But the page turn from 3 to 4 is not because it's too quick for the player. That's why I put the music on pages 2 and 3, so no page turn needed. Page 4 is blank, which apparently the orchestra librarian would like (for separating from other instruments). Here is...

musicus

I did that just now. The pages are now uneven lengths - see attached.

Looks like you've added a blank page at the end, which is what's causing it. Delete that first (same menu) and then Redefine.

musicus

In the attached file the pages are uneven in length. (The eventual size
should be A4 or A3.) I tried to fix the length using Page Layout/redefine pages (all)
but what happens is after page 3 it inserts a blank page and then one more
page with the last 4 measures of the music. Suggestions? Thanks.

musicus

Thank you, I appreciate that.
