Finale Forum

Just curious. This topic now has a green circle with a check. I understand this means the issue has been solved.

If this is indeed the case, what did Lola do to resolve the issue?

Thanks Mike, I see now, by going back to pre V25 versions of Finale, that there was a "File->Import->TIFF file..." option. This would automatically bring up either SS Lite, or Pro if you had installed it. You would then need to run it through the recognition phase of SS and save it as a MusicXML fil...

AFAIK, TIF(F) format files cannot be "put" in Finale directly. You can place TIFF files on a Finale page with the Graphics Tool. https://usermanuals.finalemusic.com/FinaleMac/Content/Finale/ID_MAINTOOL_GRAPHIC.htm?Highlight=tiff Yes BuonTempi, but all that does is place a graphic (TIFF) on the Fina...

Yes, that's a document wide setting. If your document requires that only some floating rests be at the zero position default, it looks like you will need to reposition those floating rests manually.

I am playing around with Smart score pro - . it made a tiff file from a PDF test of a lead sheet ( NOT a scan). I imported the tiff file into Finale. I had to reenter lyrics and delete some unwanted measures at the end that we don't need. Unfortunately, the score now has has systems spread over 4 p...

... will PDFCreator work in this instance? Yes. PDFCreator is quite robust. You can set it to automatically save files or wait until you name the file. It can be set to either overwrite existing files or not. The initial filename picked can be modified in just about any way you can imagine. Since i...

PDFCreator: Was good, but cannot recommend anymore because of all the Adware it now tries to install. What adware? I just updated to 2.4. For the installed product, there are no ads except for their own product PDF Architect, and it is not a popup ad, you have to click on the tab to see it. Since t...

John, et al., For Windows anyway, there is a document option that controls this "default" behavior. Go to "Document->Document Options...->Layers". Choose layer 2, then set the adjust floating rests setting to zero steps. This should take care of the problem in your workflow, but it is such a simple ...

I use pdfforge products. http://www.pdfforge.org Their freeware PDFCreator is a virtual printer that lets you create PDFs from any Windows program that supports printing. Their commercial PDF Architect is customizable in that you can install the modules you need to perform all things related to PDFs.

Motet, I see you have emerged from the dark side. :lol: I don't see why anyone would particularly want to remain hidden as far as when they last visited the site. I am not paranoid about letting it be known who I am, my real name, where I live, how to contact me, my background, or my interests. To e...

John, :D I hope you take this in the humorous manner in which it was intended. :D Perhaps you should remove one of your duplicate postings. They are 15 minutes apart time wise. But seriously, there should be a category for scripting. Finalescript as well as JW Lua script could be combined into a cat...

Thanks Zuill. I had never been there before. I figured there was probably a way.

I was trying to respond to a post that I had read from Zuill recently, but I just could not find it. Is it possible for the administrators to add the ability to search for posts from a given user? This request may not be trivial, if the forum software does not already include it. The old MM forum ha...

Oops! My mistake. MB S/B KB as Peter said.

Djard, The file size limit has been raised to 250 MB, and the forum now accepts .mus and .musx files. Mike, But not PDF, TXT, and probably other file types. The workaround I've used is to tack a .ZIP to the end of the file name. ZIPs upload OK provided the 250MB limit isn't exceeded. Anyway to know...

Now I see a large green check in the post icon. What does it signify? Is there not a guide to this forum software that explains all this?

To all who have downloaded my chart. Please note that my email listed in the chart is no longer valid. Use the email found in this forum for the latest info. Click on my name link to see my profile, or click on the email icon found in the panel to the right of my post. I will have to revise my chart...

tcmschlosser, Did you see the file comment? It sounds like you did not rename the downloaded file by removing the .ZIP extension. I had to add .ZIP on to the end because, as of now, this forum will not allow the upload of PDF files, unless I'm missing something. Groan! The file is a PDF, which I ass...

Choose a transposition of Other and put these values in Interval/AlterKey: Horn in A: 2/-3 Horn in E: 5/-4 PS: Both Motet and myself have produced charts for everything concerning transposition. I must admit that Motet's is easier to use than mine, and addresses only instruments that actually exist ...

Hey Mike,
Maybe you can find out what the threshold is. Would be nice to know. But, as Motet said somewhere recently, It makes no difference. It is what it is, and that's that.

Looks like you're right. Found an online discussion: The "hot" icons are used when the topic has as many replies as the "Popular topic threshold:" on the Post Settings page. Where is the Post Settings page where such a threshold is uncovered? BTW, I have seen multiple page posts with no scrolling i...

Gentlemen/Ladies, There seems to be a change of opinion on the issue of having to use a "cloud" server to upload/download file examples/snippets large or small. Refer to this thread discussing the issue, among others, when MM announced it was closing their forum and moving to a new site where such a...

I suggest you get a cloud space provider and link to your files there (Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, etc.). Most of us already have such "cloud space providers" (what a buzz phrase :roll: ), but as has been said before, having to go outside the forum to do what you need is less than desirable. K...

Even 250KB is too small IMHO. I suggest no less than 1MB. I have many MUSX/MUS files larger than 250KB, and I don't have a very large collection, and none with what might be deemed large scores, like fully orchestrated symphonies or operas. Maybe someone with such a collection should chime in here w...
