JW Change Pitches (the 64 bit version) should work if you launch Finale in Rosetta mode on the Mac. If you get the message "Unidentified developer", check this video by Nick Mazuk : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iq3Xcpsewhk An alternative exists in the "full" version of TGTools -> Modify -> Replac...

I was referring to regular .musx files, not MusicXML. They can be opened by PrintMusic 2014.

By the way, PrintMusic 2014 uses the .musx file format. Have you tried to send him a .musx file ?

In PrintMusic, he should use Import -> MusicXML, not Open.

The full TGTools (paid version) -> Parts -> "Add Cue notes" places the Cue texts in a new expression category, named "Cues". The texts are 15 by default, but you can change the font size of that category (via Edit Category). If you have RGP Lua installed, there is a script "Cue Notes Create" that pl...

As previous posts show, there are several ways.
One more, in the Staff Attributes of a specific staff :

JW Copy Part Layout (Mac & Windows) exists in 32 bit version (Finale 2010-2014.5) and 64 bit version (Finale 25 and above).
In Finale 27, Makemusic included it in the plug-in menu under JW Tools (compatible with Macs with the new M1, M2 processors).

No. I updated to Monterey some time ago, and didn't do anything in Finale. The authorization was preserved.

It is not a real second line like the one used in Lyrics (verse 1,2, etc...). It is more like "piling up" chords on the same spot. My suggestion was to create the second set of chords in another measure and drag them on top of the existing chords in the original measure. But there is even a simpler ...

michelp

You could use the Expression tool.
1) Create a staff style (applied to the score and parts) to hide the time signature in the tuba solo.
2) Create a global expression (shape) or a couple of expressions (text) for the small time signature.

By the way, in my reply, you missed the "Redefine Pages" step.

michelp

Document -> Page Format -> Score : redefine the system margins and to apply them, Page Layout tool -> Redefine Pages -> All pages That's one way. Another one would be to reposition the first system of page 2 (or the second system of page 1) the way you like (with correct margins), select it and go t...

On the Mac, the "About Finale" window should show 27.4.1.146.

"The JW Staff Polyphony plug-in now shows in the correct language.
Fixed an issue where relative layer position is correct even when notes without stems are present.
Fixed an issue that would shift a unison note in layer two incorrectly to the left."

Layers -> Merge

If I understand your question correctly, the Measure tool offers a solution (see image) or you can define and apply a staff style displaying the full name.

michelp

I suspect a confusion here :
mmike seems to speak about 0 (zero) which enters the first frame (at least on the Mac), not to be confused with letter O, also in Speedy, which hides a note or a rest.

michelp

...maybe a good reason to keep Finale 26 installed (27 and 26 can coexist).
Loading a 27.4 file into 26 should allow you to create pdfs without losing too much time.

From what I could see, your Rhythmic Notation staff style is applied to Layer 1 and hides other Layers. If you edit it (via define staff styles), in Alternate Notation, Other Layers, select Show notes. But if you want rhythms to be at the top of the staff, you could use another approach : notes in s...

After deleting the first measure, try select Al, then respace (Ctl+4).

I've just seen the list of fixes, and there are certainly some very welcome items that fix some long-standing and oft complained-about issues. It's a longer list than many previous updates; though slightly underwhelming when you think they've had a year to work at it. No new features, either, that ...

michelp

Yes. In the staff attributes of that staff, Independent Elements -> Time signature. Barlines will line up. A different time signature can be applied to any measure of the staff, for a region of your choice.

The measure-number rehearsal mark is the way to go. It will automatically hide the the measure number where it's placed.

Correct, no need to manually hide measure numbers, just make sure that this box is checked :

AFAIK, version 2 is Mac only. It was developed to ensure compatibility with the new Apple silicon (M1, M2) processors.
Other than that, Windows and Mac versions should be similar in terms of functionality.
