Finale Forum

Scrolling might mean "popular", but I only saw it on topics with more than one page of posts. That would imply the topic is "popular", no?

Test to upload MUSX file.

Test seemed to work, but 100KB is too severe a restriction, since a blank default file is > 80 KB already.

Don't know about the star, but the scrolling icon seems to indicate that there are more than one page of posts. You can click on which one you want to go to. Looks like a red icon means the post is unread by the user, and a blue icon means it has been read by the user. Looks like the star might mean...

It turned out to be a 'corrupted' preferences file, whatever that means. Since removing it and redoing my preferences, the Repitch Tool works normally. I'd be curious to know how the preferences file can disturb a single function, and what might have caused it. Oh well, Finale moves in curious ways...

Worked fine for me. The size of the font determines how much positioning is required. Highlight the text to be baseline shifted. CTRL-D to open Font dialog box, choose Advanced tab. In Position: choose raised or lowered. In By: enter the number of units you want. You can use various suffixes like pt...

It depends on which entry mode you are using. Simple Select the rest/note (CTRL-click on object) and press the "H" key. When entering notes/rests, the object is already selected, so just press "H". Speedy Position the cursor bar over the note/rest and press "H". When entering notes/rests, just press...

There is also this:

"Staff->Edit Staff Attributes->Display Rests in Empty Measures"

It applies to the entire staff, however, not an individual measure.

Understood. Thanks Peter.

I haven't tried it yet, but what about .MUSX files which are already compressed ZIP files.

How does one contact the moderators/administrators? Many FAQs say to do so, but how? How does one send a PM to a user? I see no button or other mechanism on a user's profile. OK, I found it on one of the User Control Panel (UCP) tabs. I now see email and PM icons in the profile boxes next to posts. ...

I've been here since early 2015, but this is my first post. The MM forum is definitely locked now. All the entries can still be looked at but nothing new can be posted.
