All instruments forte

When proofreading I need to hear all instruments equally, at least adjust them by the mixer. However, there are numerous expressions that are used badly: for instance p was duplicated and became sfz , that makes no sense. Or the Playback is set to "none". How to completely ignore in the current scor...

Re: download only garritan

Sorry, I haven't been looking at the full list.
I need to install on my older Windows machine running XP and Finale 2011. Here what it shows for me:

Capture.PNG (7.3 KiB) Viewed 7650 times
I would prefer using 2011 on that machine, and not 2014. It is to heavy.
But maybe Garritan for 2014 will work for 2011?

download only garritan

To save space on my computer I never installed Garritan. Now I want to do it but simply I cannot find my DVD.
When I go to my account at MM, there are "products" but nothing available to download. That is strange.
I need 32 bit version, since I am now on Win 7, 32 bit.

Re: Upgrade from Finale 2012 to 25?

Do not update. Finale 2012 is the fastest Finale on OS X. You will just struggle...
If attaching hairpins is not a break-deal for you, don't do it.

Re: Scripts in parts

You can open two windows of the same score. One shows score one shows your part. Go to score and apply the script, and you can watch what happens in the part directly.
Many of us never use double window. It is extremely useful, for instance when one works in Scroll and can see in Page what happens.

Re: abbreviated staff names

You can use numbered staves and yet have them not to show up in the score. Just go to the staff name in the Score Manager, edit it so that the text is hidden (via character settings). Similar can be achieved by hiding the abbr names. Not sure why don't you use that option, anyway they will not get p...

Re: Convert rhythm

Applying JW change freeze accidentals seems to remove altogether those accidentals that were added or changed through keying '9' to make enharmonic alterations. Enharmonic changes made by other means (in Speedy) seem unaffected. Thanks for the experiment. Yes, I use Simple entry and change enharmon...

Re: New computer

Running Finale in the low resolution mode doesn't help at all.
I switched off everything: auto spacing, no parts, low resolution... Nothing helps for my large files. An iMac from 2007 runs the same file perfectly. Only cons is the low resolution.
EDIT: iMac from 2007 running Windows 7, via BootCamp.

And to use TGTools -> Change -> Pitches or JW Change pitches after that? Could this be a solution of your problem?
Unfortunately not, they are not constant.

OK; still any solution to convert two 16 into one 8?

I will not go in detail but it is like running on Pentium 1. Therefore I want to buy a new PC with Windows. I don't mind buying an empty...
