No. 2014

Yes, thank you. But that doesn't solve this issue.

Hey all,

Haven't encountered this one until now. On my drum charts, layers 1 and 2 are not lining up. (See screenshot) I have Music Spacing--Manual Position set to "clear" and still get this. Is there a global way to fix this rather than measure-by-measure with Special Tools?

Thanks!

Hey all, Percussion maps. geez, what am I doing wrong. I have a Korg nanoPAD2. I wat to use it exclusively for percussion input. For example, I want Pad 1 to be the Hi Hat, Pad 7 to the bass drum, etc...I am completely lost as everything I have tried (For example, setting Pad 8 for MIDI note C5) so ...

Hey all, What's the quickest way to navigate through the Main Tool Palette with Keyboard Shortcuts? My online research hasn't yielded any results. For example, I'm in Speedy Entry, then I need to go to the Expression Tool, then to the Smart Shape Tool, etc...I'd really like to avoid constantly dragg...

Hey all, I just purchased a Korg NanoPad2 which I would like to use exclusively for inputting percussion parts. For example, I want Pad 1 to be Bass Drum, Pad 2 to be Snare Drums, etc... Forgive my naïveté on the subject of MIDI and percussion maps but can someone help me as to how to set this up? G...

Thank you both for your replies. Unfortunately, that is not solving the issue. I wonder if there is a bug. My cursor is no where near the speedy box and it still happens. At least 50% of the time that I am working.

Thanks for the reply Mike. That's how I do ties in simple entry...mouse below or above. I'd like to be able to consistently tie chords in speedy without always worrying where the mouse is and interrupting workflow.

Hi all, When you are working in Speedy and you want to tie a chord, I know you hit the "=" sign. However, more often than not, it only ties a single note as opposed to the whole chord. I believe that this is supposed to be the case when the mouse is hovering over that particular note, however, it ha...

FIXED! For some reason, once they're highlighted, you need to double-click again and then they delete.

Weird.

Thanks Miker but yes, I already unhid all staves.

Hi all, I highlight my entire measure stack from measures 75-94. I want these measures deleted from the score, not cleared. I hit delete and it clears the contents of the measures. I go EDIT (or right click) and the "Delete Measure Stack" option is gray (Not allowed.) I am working on files that I di...

Thank you both!!

Peter S--Thank you for your reply but Peter T's was exactly what I was looking for. A quicker way than all of the workarounds I was used to.

I thank you both for taking the time to help me out! Have a great weekend!

Hey all, Okay, I orchestrated a whole section of a piece and looking back, there are like 12 measures where I want the Clarinet to play what the Trumpet is playing and visa versa. Is there an easy way to swap these parts? What I would normally do is copy one part onto an unused staff and paste accor...

I can get the parenthesis in Speedy but when I hit it again, I SHOULD get the courtesy accidental without the parenthesis but I don't. This is so weird.

Thanks Miker, yes I did restart and still no luck. Weird.

Hi all, So I have Finale 2012 at work and at home. At work, when I want to add a courtesy accidental in Simple Entry, I click the accidental on the note, hit P once for the accidental to appear in parenthesis, hit P again for the accidental to show without parenthesis. I was pretty sure I have the s...

AWESOME!!! You guys are GREAT!

Thanks sooooooo much for your help! You have just saved me an enormous amount of time!!!!!

David

Thanks guys!

Please forgive my naiveté, this is the first time I am downloading a plug in.

I am using a MacBook Pro and the JW Polyphony is only opening in Terminal.

Any ideas how I get the actual plug in into Finale?

Thanks!

Hey all, Okay, I have triads on a vocal staff. I want to copy and paste on a new staff and then on the new staff, I only want the middle note to be seen. Is there a way to mass delete the top and bottom notes for the entire passage without doing them individually. All notes are in Layer 1. Thanks. D...

1) A search box for expressions. I do a lot of charts for musical theatre and would love to be able to find one of the numerous dialogue cues in a song by opening the expression menu and typing to search rather than scrolling through numerous boxes. 2) Easier navigation on the computer keyboard to t...

Aha! Didn't think of that! Will do tomorrow!

Thanks Peter!

Hey Peter,

I totally understand but this is not my piece of music. It is a copywritten score that I am working on for my company and I am not allowed to upload to the web. If there is any way you can give me your suggestions without the pic, I'd greatly appreciate it.

If not, I totally understand.

Hello All,

I am trying to hide a blank staff from a piece that I did not create. The systems are not locked and this staff is not part of a group.

Finale will not hide it when I tell it to. Any ideas?

Thanks!
