1) In the Staff Attributes of the staves (where you want these brackets in the parts), make sure that, under Items to Display, Ending and Text Repeats is checked. 2) In the score, right-click on the left handle under the repeat bracket and select Edit Ending .   right-click.jpg   Make your choice : ...

Or... in the staff attributes of the staff that needs the 4 slashes, next to Independent Elements, select Time Signature.
When slashes are needed (4 of them), select the region in that staff and change its time signature to 4/4. Apply the slash notation.

A fermata (= point d'orgue in French) can be applied to a "real rest", not to a default rest (option defined in Staff Attributes : "Display Rests in Empty Measures").

I understand that you would like the contents of Bar 1 to look like in Bar 2. You want to move just the snare drum to Layer 1 (which is a common practice). I don't see a quick and direct solution at first sight (not even in JW Staff Polyphony, as partial selections are not always possible), maybe so...

Try saving preferences after your output selection is made. (Actually, the preferences should be saved when you quit Finale, but give it a try anyway)...

An update : as we have found out, Chord Kerner 1 has compatibility problems with RGP Lua 0.67, but I noticed that it works fine with RGP Lua 0.66. So a dedicated folder for RGP Lua 0.66 (next to the RGP Lua 0.67 folder) is a solution until the bugs are fixed. The bugs that I have spotted are : • Cho...

The first thing to check is Midi/Audio -> Device Setup -> Audio Setup : Output Source.

You could use an expression (blank), and under Playback, Type -> Transposition : 1.

According to MakeMusic, Finale 27 and MacOs14 Sonoma are not compatible. They have found a few problems, and yours may have to be added to the list...

And make sure that the instruments are defined in the Aria Player and that midi channels in the ScoreManager match the midi channels in the Aria Player.

A few ideas : You didn't mention if you selected "Play Finale via Audio Units" in the Midi/Audio menu. Midi/Audio -> Device Setup -> Audio Setup : check your output device. And make sure that the instruments are defined in the Aria Player and that midi channels in the ScoreManager match the midi cha...

Top staff of score and top staff of parts should be enough in most cases. 2 boxes to check.
And it should be set like that by default, there was no need to change it.

1) To clarify the concept of Linked Parts...When you generate parts, you get linked parts, which are included in the score file (not in a "folder" somewhere else). You can view them and edit them in the Document menu -> Edit Part -> ... You can print the linked parts (or generate a pdf) from the sco...

+1 for Keyboard Maestro.

I just wrote to Michael as well. Thanks for your feedback.

I have RGP Lua 0.67.

Since I have installed Monterey, Chord Kerner generates an error message a soon as I enter a suffix ID.
Does anybody have a similar experience in Monterey ?

We agree, I follow your logic. dim should in theory mean 3 notes. 4 notes imply dim 7 (as you know, of course ;). My experience is similar to yours : to save time and remain compact, the 7 is often omitted in the suffix, even when 4 notes are used. P.S. : As I mentioned earlier, I personally use CoΔ...

I suspect that our colleague doesn't want an A in the chord.

You will have to create a new suffix (Chord Tool, double click on the score-> Select -> Create). Save the library to be able to load it in other files. Before loading the library, delete the existing library to avoid duplicates. You can define the playback of the new chord via Edit -> Set Play. P.S....

My setup :
• Main monitor (score) : Asus 27 ", 2560 x 1440, pivot
• Second monitor (palettes, parts, audio software...) : Asus 24", 1920 x 1200
The combination is fine. 2 monitors is a big bonus, if you can afford it and and have enough desk space.
Less than 1000 € these days (for both).

Is version 3 of Perfect Layout available ? The homepage still mentions 2.6...
There is a submenu for version 3 in the "Features" menu, but the related page says that v.3 is in Beta.

The buttons exist on the Mac, too, but they only make a difference with Shape expressions, not with Text expressions.
