Finale Forum

Okay, you have the three panels. Click the instruments in the right panel you want combined and add to the part in the middle panel. Then you can change the name of that if you want and the new name will show up in the left panel. That's all. Now that combined part will be there under Edit Part. Gen...

Generate Parts does it all from scratch, deleting the choices you made. Once you add an instrument to a part that takes care of it. If you need fuller instructions, let me know.

Document > Manage Parts> Edit Part Definition. If you want multiple instruments in a part select them from the far right pane and Add to Part.

Another option is to notate the trill-to note as a small note head in parentheses.

Score Manager is under the Window menu, or Cmd-K.

What happens if you go to Score Manager > File Info and remove or change Score Name Insert in the bottom left corner.

I don't know if this helps, but if you can identify what you think is your oldest file and go to Score Manager > File Info, it will tell you when it was created.

If you can live with the error pop-ups and you don't care about playback, then I don't think you need to worry. But for me:

You need to go to your iPhone (yes -- iPhone) and Settings > General > Airplay and Handoff > turn off Continuity Camera.

5notechord,

PL3 is beta, so on the purchase page you'll need to use the pop-up to switch to beta to update your version.

I just checked it and yes, it fixes the endings problems.

There is a page break at the top of the second page. If you delete the page break you can move those measures to the bottom of the first page.

The tablature is an octave low. Select the guitar staff and type 9 to transpose up an octave.

If this only happens a time or two you could make the triplet with no bracket (number only) and then create the bracket you need with the Shape Designer. If it happens a lot that would be a huge pain.

If you get this: Audio Engine Error: Finale's audio engine failed to load. Please restart Finale. Error Code: 7. You need to go to your iPhone (yes -- iPhone) and Settings > General > Airplay and Handoff > turn off Continuity Camera. If that doesn't allow playback, then post a file here so we can se...

You've probably thought of this, but under Bluetooth on the menu bar is the selection correct?

If Bluetooth is de-selected, does it play back correctly through the internal speakers?

::: Bill

You can use Special Tools > Note Position Tool to drag them to the other side of the barline.

Also in Speedy, if Jump To Next Measure is turned off you can put the two 16ths at the end of the measure and change them to grace notes. Probably the same thing can be done in Simple.

Lynn,

Now that you have located the Preferences file, it's a good idea to make a copy of it in case that file goes bonkers, which happens occasionally. If it happens you can just drag the copy into that spot.

Glad that you had a happy ending.

If you turn off out of range notes does that make a difference? View > Out-of-Range Notes > Off.

::: Bill

Another option is Special Tools > Note Position Tool. That allows you to select multiple notes and nudge with the arrow key. Not as precise as Peter's solution, but maybe quicker.

I tried Perfect Layout and it didn't help. It fixed the spacing but it put the beams at the top rather than between the staves. Maybe there is a setting I am missing.

I posted this elsewhere but I thought it might help someone to also post it here to my original question. ===== So the problem is with the iPhone (!) and Continuity Camera, whatever that is. I have not received the error code since applying this solution: If you do not use Continuity Camera and you ...

Oh my! BuonTempi's post led me to what appears to be a solution to the irritating "Audio Engine Failed to Load" error. (Surprising that MM customer support told me there wasn't a solution, though the solution was in their post of last December.) So the problem is with the iPhone (!) and Continuity C...

I have problems with F27 and Ventura on my laptop when the screen goes to sleep. I get the alert that the audio engine has failed to load. Finale still works, but without playback. I still do all my work on F26.
