How big is a "small idea", what did you record in which way?

I can delete this bracket in an optimized staff system... (but I have an old version - Fin 2009)..+

you can add an extra measure into the first ending, set the time signature to 12/8 for this measure. add a notesystem style "empty lines" and open the settings for the measure to set the width to zero. Update layout...

Hi Scott, you can edit the multimeasure rest and there is a setting, where you can enter a number with that you want to start the counting. (Sorry for my english, I have a german version. Hope you will find it...) In your case you should enter a number higher than 12... Then enter "tacet" as text. B...

Thank you Zuill!

Yes, I meant Finale 2012, sorry...

Hi everyone!

Does anyone know if Finale 10 works well on Windows 10? Any experiences?

Thanks for your response.
Peter

you could also create stemless notes and make them so small that they look like a dot. And then use them on the correct place...

What I would do first - before the operation above: Fix the measures in your layout by selecting all (Ctrl + A) and then clicking "L" (for "lock"). Otherwise it could happen that finale moves measures...

My experience is that printing is the fact that makes finale to save the file again.
Without printing I can open and close a file without saving it..

Hi Michael,

two ways:
- when you enter the singers parts uncheck "control beams" (or so, I have the German version Fin 2009) in the speedy entry menu.
- you can change the beaming of existing music in extras/new beams, use beams for text...

Hope you can find it.

Why don't you set your time signature to 3/4 + 3/8 then? This would be much easier and faster to read for the musicians. Much better than the explaination above the system...

There is a finale plug-in "hide notes and rests"!

Plug-ins/notes

Violas and Cellos are not transposing instruments!

I think that "Englisches Horn" is very oldfashioned and not in use anymore.
We in Vienna call it "Englischhorn" and often use the abbreviation "Eh."

Hi Vaughan!

Can you tell which opera and for which instruments do you make this arrangement?

Peter

Hi David,
yes it is correct, the ß is still in use in Germany and Austria, I think they do not use it anymore in Switzerland. The correct spelling is Zeitmaß, Mäßig

Peter

Though I think the transposition chart is helpful, I do not see why it should be a sticky thread any longer...

It's the 2nd corno di bassetto part from Mozart's Gran Partita - Adagio. Most probably will be beat in 8. I'm tasked with transposing the parts for alto clarinet as we're lacking corni di bassetto players in deepest rural Lincolnshire! Andreo Basisto In that case I would have a look at the other pa...

This is a finale plug-in...

Thanks, this is very helpful!

Jon, it's not as complicated as ist seems... 2 ways for your example (your "big" triplet is 3 8th:2 8th) - Speedy entry: Enter "Ctrl+3" (for a triple) and 4 (!) for an 8th note to define the big triplet - "Ctrl+3" and 3 times "2" for the first 32nd triplet - go back to the 8th note and change it to ...

Create staff styles where the abbreviation for the staff is the whole name of the instrument (you will have to do it for each instrument).

Peter

I tried it out with Fin209 on Windows, and everything works normally. Ich can enter a triplet without grace notes, go back to the triplet an enter the grace notes in between (on speedy entry). And I can enter the first grace note and then start with the triplet (Ctrl3) with the first note, next grac...

Maybe you have a .bak file or .asv.

I do not think you can do that with Finale NotePad...
