Re: Hand Grabber Keyboard Command
That is very interesting and something I will investigate. However I may have asked the wrong question at the end of my last post. It was in response to this: I don't believe Keyboard Maestro can accomplish this. Here's why: your desired shortcut of CMD+OPT doesn't invoke a keystroke, so there is no...

Re: Hand Grabber Keyboard Command
Thank you for that information, bakkumd. SteerMouse sounds like a very interesting solution that I will try today. I use an Adesso upright mouse that has several buttons on it, so I am assuming it would work with that one. So the Keyboard maestro remapping system that you show only works for remappi...

Re: Outgoing Key Signature Question
You've just uncovered a Finale weirdness that I have never noticed before. The solution is to stay with major keys, that is, go from E major to G major, not E minor, and you will get the normal behavior you expect. I never use the "minor key" setting at all and just stay with major keys, so the prob...

Re: Hand Grabber Keyboard Command
Thanks, Michelp. It's a good idea, but as you may have implied, it's not going to be easy to find convenient shortcuts that are not already Finale, Preview or my own programmed Finale Keyboard Maestro shortcuts. I may have to stick with what I've got. At least, I can keep three fingers planted over ...

Re: Hand Grabber Keyboard Command
Glad that works for you, but I don't think it applies to Mac Finale 25. Ideally it would. be the same shortcut for both hand grabbers.
So I am wondering if one can change the build-in Finale Keyboard shortcuts or disable them. Anyone know?

Re: Hand Grabber Keyboard Command
Thanks, Peter, but. that wouldn't work for me. I need the same keyboard command for Finale Hand Grabber as for Mac Preview Hand Grabber as I move through both a Finale File and a PDF on the same monitor. It gets confusing sometimes. So I'd like to change the Finale Hand Grabber to Option-Spacebar, b...

Is it possible to change the Finale keyboard command for the Hand Grabber: option-command, to a different keyboard command?

Re: adding fingerings
Motet, lynndavidnewton was referring to a previous comment where I mentioned that I have a special notation for showing two or more fingers depressing the same key simultaneously. It's simply two numbers placed together like 45. This technique gives greater stability to the hand when, for example, o...

Re: adding fingerings
Sorry I have no experience with Finale 27 and stacked articulations. I was hoping that it might make life a little easier but haven't tried that version of Finale yet. You put the two numbers together like this: 45 and then put the elision symbol over or or under it like this: elisions.png So there ...

Re: Is there such a chord?
A beautiful seventh chord that occurs naturally by stacking thirds on the 7th note of any major scale: B-D-F-A, for example. Grieg would have been lost without it.

Re: adding fingerings
Since my right hand is on the mouse, the left hand has to do all the fingering. It's just nice to be able to press with the 5th finger and get a 5 etc. for notes in either hand. Of course, one could also create a duplicate set of finger numbers for the right hand and mouse with the left, but that se...

Re: adding fingerings
I couple of other suggestions. If you want your finger numbers to look like what one sees in editions from major publishers, use the Maestro numbers at 12 pt. These are the same numbers that Finale uses for time signatures. I do a lot of fingering and find it very efficient to assign the metatools s...

Re: Set template to use Maestro *bold* for half and whole notes only
The OP seems to be asking if there is a way of changing the font for just the half and whole note heads. As far as I know there is no way to do this in Finale. It's all or nothing when it comes to note heads. But perhaps someone knows a way to do this. However, one can find or create a different not...

Re: Tuplet adjustments are extremely slow
Being able to move a tuplet number around with the mouse is about as basic a function as there is. The fact that we are even discussing a workaround is pathetic.

Re: Tuplet adjustments are extremely slow
I just heard back from MakeMusic personally. They said that they are aware of the bug and that they will "hopefully address it" in a future maintenance update.
I also only use page view, so using scroll view is not really a help for me either.

Re: Tuplet adjustments are extremely slow
Would changing the tuplet definition itself help, or do they really need to be different each time? Thanks for the tip, Motet. I just changed some of my settings for the better for triplets. This would cut down on the hand modifying. But if one wants to place the tuplet number on the note head side...

Re: Tuplet adjustments are extremely slow
Mike, I tried that also, with no success.
Bill Stevens is not seeing this on his Macs, which leaves room for hope, I guess. But after my last experience with MakeMusic support, I don't want to go there again, unless you feel that it would be helpful in this case.

Re: Tuplet adjustments are extremely slow
I am seeing the same thing in Finale 27, which I haven't actually started using yet. The tuplet number moves in jerks with the mouse, but the arrow keys move it properly. Behavior is normal in Finale 25. This bug is really intolerable.
