Re: Is there a "sub. P" in Finale?
I'd suggest using p sub. rather than sub. p. Why? Because it aligns better with notes and is therefore clearer to conductors and players? Is it an Italian grammar concern? Both? Thanks, N Grossingink, BuonTempi, Zuill, and Gary. I apologize for my backward approach to my concern. I had placed "sub....

Re: Is there a "sub. P" in Finale?
I saw that. What font is that, and what is its Unicode number?

Is there a "sub. P" in Finale?
Is there? I don't see it in Maestro family fonts, Bach font (not in Finale), and Engraver fonts. I know I can just create it, but I hate to think I missed it.

Re: O/T: Nom de plume for my Finale score
I sometimes use either my grandfather's name, or my middle name plus "Angharad," a character's name from the movie "How Green Was My Valley," which I think is pretty.

Re: Font question: Regular or Bold
Hector: I see you're on a Mac. In Windows, at least, highlight the text you want bold and click Ctrl-Shift-B. I find this method a bit faster than going through menus and dropdown lists. I don't know the Mac equivalent.

Re: Playback: "Wet/Dry" sound levels
As far as boosting the dry sound to get more volume, I do miss that. But that was only a bandaid to a bigger problem in that the samples are too soft to start with. It's too bad when workarounds are needed to make up for deficiencies. Indeed ! Here are some of the adjustments I routinely make in Fi...

Re: Playback: "Wet/Dry" sound levels
Try the Convolution reverb. In VST Banks & Effects, click on a bank in which your instruments are loaded. Then highlight each instrument and go to its controls. There you can adjust the equalizer, stereo stage, and other instrument controls. My reverb settings are the most pleasing, to my ears, at l...

Re: Smart line questions
I think that the in-score performance directions should be in universally understood terms, the standard Italian ones. Using other languages creates a needless barrier between composer and performer. Non-English, -French, -German speakers may have to get out a dictionary to understand what you want...

Re: Smart line questions
Thanks, Motet and John, for the additional comments. Hijacking my own thread, "greatly slowing" is my translation of "assai ritenuto." I decided to have all written expressions and playing directions in my works either in Italian or in English. Does anyone else find mixing two languages inappropriate?

Definitely. I may have to go request that. I've wanted that for a long time.The ability to assign smart shapes to score lists is an oft-requested feature.

Smart line questions
I've created a smart line, "greatly slowing," with dashed lines and a hook. The smart line appears only on the top line of my score (my choice). First, is there a way to include this smart line in the parts without having to include it in each part manually? I know I could have created an expression...

Re: Forum reorganization
But seriously, there should be a category for scripting. Finalescript as well as JW Lua script could be combined into a category. I apologize for the late response. Just saw this comment. I agree that there should be a Finalescript category. Even though in the other Finale forum the Finalescript se...

Re: Trill not working correctly
My main gripe with HP is phrasing. I'm not sure HP can be programmed to recognize it because it's so subjective--sure, you want woodwind and brass playback to be "natural" with simulated breathing in appropriate places, but interpretation varies in the subtle lengths of pauses. I currently use breat...

Trill not working correctly
Attached is a snippet that's just not playing back correctly with HP. The trill is starting on the eighth note before the trill indication. Even when I change the last eighth note before the trill to a 16th note and 16th rest, I get the same result. I've tried removing the slur, to no effect. I've a...

Re: Crashing after audio export
I renamed and then removed finmidi.ini from its usual place, and I've exported several files to audio without Finale crashing. So far, so good.

Re: Crashing after audio export
OK, I'll try that. Thanks, Zuill.I would try the MIDI.ini file first. If that works, it will minimize issues.
I don't have a midi keyboard hooked up.

Re: Crashing after audio export
Yes, this is with VST (Aria player).
Audio driver is DirectSound.
No, I haven't experimented with recreating preferences. Do you mean deleting FINALE.INI and FINMIDI.INI files (after backing them up)?

Re: Crashing after audio export
Yeah, I think I'll do that. The problem, though, doesn't happen with every export to audio, and I can't identify anything that precipitates the crash.Maybe submit the file to them.

Re: Crashing after audio export
Well, so much for that. I deleted the temp files and exported again, and Finale crashed again immediately after the export completed.
